Mrs. Meyer’s products are known for their botanical scents, and this multi-surface cleaner is no exception. The lemon verbena is particularly nice for bathrooms, but the cleaner also comes in other scents, including acorn spice, apple cider, and basil. Just keep in mind that this isn’t a bathroom-specific cleaner, and may be hard to spray on surfaces like toilet bowls or showers. It can work, but you will likely need to scrub to get really tough residue and stains out. This is also more expensive than other items on our list for its size. Emma Phelps revised this roundup to provide more context for each recommended product. Phelps also conducted research for this roundup by speaking with Michael Rubino. Rubino is an indoor air quality and mold expert, the author of The Mold Medic, and the founder of HomeCleanse, "a revolutionary company with the vision to end the worldwide health epidemic caused by poor air quality and toxic indoor environments."Rubino is a council-certified Mold Remediator by IICRC and ACAC and a contributing member, sponsor, and speaker for the Indoor Air Quality Association. Common ingredients in bathroom cleaners include bleach, ammonia, and other solvents that help to leave a sparkling—sometimes disinfected—surface. When you're cleaning, always make sure to dilute the bleach with water and only water, and never mix it with any other cleaners, especially those with ammonia, since it can create a poisonous gas. Bathroom cleaners are comprised of many different ingredients, some stronger and more dangerous than others. One way to ensure you’re using safe ingredients is to see if the product is enrolled in the EPA’s Safer Choice Program, which vets products to ensure they’re safer for human health as well as the environment. It’s a good idea to keep all bathroom cleaners out of the reach of children and pets due to their cleaning ingredients, as well. LASTING PROTECTION After cleaning, hard surfaces were sanitized and bacteria was killed in less than 60 seconds when the spray was left to dry. To get 24-hour protection, spray the surface again to ensure it stays wet for five minutes.The manufacturer also claims this product works after just 10 minutes. Afterward, you can wipe the area clean with a dry cloth. If you're treating a mold stain that you've never cleaned before, we recommend cleaning the entire room where that stain is, just to ensure that any residual spores have been cleared from the area. The formula is septic safe, however it should not be mixed with other household cleaners or bleach, as the result can be quite harmful. Products designed to get rid of mold spots work by targeting the spore (or root) of the mold. (Note: this does not mean the root cause, which is moisture.) After you apply the product, most formulas require you to wait a few minutes. During this period, the product is destroying mold spores at the roots with the help of a fungicide. At the same time, other active ingredients, like ammonium in some formula, works to clean and disinfect the treated surface. Many mold removers also work to prevent growth by leaving behind an antimicrobial coating. The "prevention" part of a formula is known as a mildewstat. When used according to directions and for small spots in bathrooms or on appliances, mold removers are safe for homeowner use. However, it’s very important to take the necessary steps to keep yourself safe when cleaning. I liked the lemon scent. I didn't think the smell was overpowering; it was a deodorizing pleasant smell.” —Fanny Guevera, mom of two Multi-Purpose Cleaner

PREVENTS MOLD AND MILDEW In addition to cleaning effectively, this spray prevents the growth of mold and mildew for up to seven days when left to dry on pre-cleaned surfaces, helping you clean less often. When in doubt, always call in a professional to help you with your mold removal. They have the know-how to identify, treat, and help prevent spores in your home. I used the sanitizing spray as a deodorizer and sanitizer on a variety of surfaces and materials (cloth, plastic, vinyl, carpet). I liked the pleasant smell and how fast it was absorbed. —Fanny GuevaraAll in all, while it is more expensive and not as readily available as some of the other options on this list, Grout-Eez does come in a generous, 32-ounce bottle that should last a while and make your tile sparkle. CLR Mold & Mildew Clear Stain Remover is a great bleach-free formula to treat any residual mold staining. It's compatible with a variety of porous and non-porous surfaces, including wood, natural stone and marble, and tile, so you don't have to worry about delicate surfaces disintegrating. (Though, the product is not compatible with stainless steel appliances.) This product is also part of the EPA's Safer Choice Program, which recognizes certain products as safer alternatives to traditional chemicals. Despite its cleaner formula, the manufacturer still recommends turning on an exhaust fan or opening windows to properly aerate a room while you're using this spray. We also still recommend taking the proper safety precautions before, during, and after since you're dealing with a chemical product and mold. This toilet cleaner does contain bleach, so make sure you ventilate your bathroom when using it, take all of the necessary safety precautions, and store it out of reach of children and pets. The actual application of is easy enough, though, as the gel makes it easier to direct than a spray. For the most sparkling toilet, scrub with a toilet brush after applying the Clorox cleaner. Let it sit for a few minutes, scrub once more, and flush to see a clean, white toilet bowl. The cleaner comes in two scents—ocean mist or crisp lemon—to help fight odors. In addition, it's key to remember that homes are not entirely sterile environments . Understanding the root of growth problems can be helpful in starving all spores and keeping them from turning into a larger problem, though. Mold is a result of moisture, and will return if you don't create a remediation plan, even if your mold remover is equipped with a fungicide and mildewstat. A professional can help you identify the type of mold you're dealing with, and help you create a remediation plan.

If you'd prefer to avoid using strong chemicals when washing away mold growth, consider the plant-based Botanical Decon 30 Disinfectant from Benefect. Unlike other mold removers that contain strong chemical agents to help clean surfaces, like ammonium, this formula does not. Botanical Decon 30 is a very gentle formula that has no chemicals or dyes present. That being said, it's not a fungicide—which means it's not designed to kill mold spores. "Benefect washes away mold spores and their food sources, so it removes a large amount of the mold and reduces mold growth," notes Homer. Make sure your area has proper ventilation, and be sure to wear all personal protective equipment, such as a mask, gloves, and eyewear, while using the mold remover. You should also never mix a cleaner with another. The nozzle is unique and has three different spray modes: small burst, medium burst, and continuous. An any-angle sprayer also sets this option apart from others like it on shelves and online. You can turn it upside-down, spray sideways, or anything in between to get to hard-to-reach places. This makes it especially great to clean toilets. Just keep in mind that the formula is not a disinfectant, so it won’t kill germs. Keep in mind that this mold remover is explicitly designed to kill mold and mildew fungus that may be growing on the surface level. Despite the presence of ammonium, you will want to scrub the area and completely clean the affected room to be sure all mold spores are removed, per Rubino's guidance. Also, while we appreciate this formula's broad application potential, it is not a mold stain remover. If months or years of buildup have left lots of stains behind, you may need to use a separate product to remove the discoloration.
