RMR-86 Instant Mold and Mildew Stain Remover Spray - Scrub Free Formula, 30 Fl Oz

This is a STAIN REMOVER, the Mold KILLER is another botanical spray sold by the same company.Proper mole remediation steps are:**FULL PPE, Goggles, respirator, and suit***1. spray with the mold killer (the other bottle you buy) Let it sit2. spray with THIS STAIN REMOVER (full ppe, I'll explain more below) let sit3. spray with the other botanical smell reducer, or the original mold killer botanical to balance the stain remover and confirm no more mold will grow.4. remove all PPE after confirming all areas are free from the chemicals in the air and surfaces before letting other people in.5. rinse your whole body in a clean, untreated shower and put on clean clothes.Those are the real steps to remove mold. This is just a stain remover and the mold will likely return. Although it takes a while and looks really clean in the meantime with just this spray.NEEDS FULL PPE, Body suit, mask, eye covers, everything covered.I used to work for a mold remediation company so that's how I know the proper steps and that full PPE is needed.I got lazy and started spraying this small bottle around thinking "residential size" "small bottle" sold on amazon to anyone" so it should be fine just to spray around for the stains after cleaning, I'll just wear a fullshirt and long pants...... WRONGI had no PPE, only fully clothed and thought was being 'careful' and somehow got some of the chemical on my body. Upper left chest area and upper left back areas are effected.Exposure was almost four weeks ago and I'm still unable to wear a real shirt (only a cami with the strap up on the right side, strap down on left and half of a bra the same with the right side up only, my left side has been completely exposed for at least three weeks while my skin heals. (picture is somehow flipped, used front phone camera) this has kind of ruined my life. this whole time I have had no video calls (I'm a business owner) no in person meetings, I've been out of sight this whole time, which kind of works these days anyway.There were three solid days of screaming pain deep into my nerves on my back and front chest areas. This stuff somehow got into my pores or something, but I could feel my actual nervous system work. When my system triggered it was like stabbing electric pins traveling around up and down my spine and out to my back shoulders and back. It was soooo painful!! meanwhile my skin was blistered and all different colors. I couldn't put patches or anything on it because it was painful and I didn't want to disturb the skin (it would probably peel off at that point) so I kept dabbing water on it and would apply numbing cream a few times a day at least (I'm now down to twice a day, sometimes three and can shower every other day at least now) At this point it is still healing, there are some bad spots left, and the pain is moderate, manageable and seems to tingle/tickle/sting at this point, so slowly but surly it's getting better.The attached picture is just of my back and is about 3.5 weeks after exposure so WELL into the healing, Imagine what it used to be!!! BE CAREFULL with this, FULL PPE for your own good!!I'm a tough person and super optimistic so I got through this thinking the next day would be better, what a mistake I should have went to the hospital asap. I might be better off today if I had. So if you are exposed, don't take any chances and go to the ER ASAP. It crept up on me slowly after exposure, so SHOWER right away after use!!!!Exposure day: felt nothing, totally activeNext day: what is that little bump, did something bite me? (on my front upper chest)Next morning: husband and son say (ewww mom, what's that rash on your back?? looks gross! (started as a red blotchy rash that poked out from under my sleeveless shirt)3rd day: This stings and hurt and owe owe owe, holy crap, can't even wear a shirt... can't sleep, every movement triggers my nervous system.... and it got worse and worse for the next few days.....5th day or so - ok not as painful as yesterday, I think I'm on the mend now.... just keep applying the ointment and caring for it with water until it heals.....(still in major pain but that was the turning point and has been slightly better each day since)today is One month later (almost to the day) this picture was from about a week ago. the back part used to go from a little on the other side of my spine, all the way up to my neck, down to where my bra line should be, and all the way to my shoulder and under my pit a little bit. You can see in the picture that it's reduced a lot. the skin that is healing seems not to have a scar (I'm worried about the deeper parts but will wait till it clears out and will be using those scar reducing patches) just don't want to put anything on it yet, that stuff is actually healing pretty good on it's own, every day I wake up better and better. I just started working out again two days ago and am pushing myself to continue, but going three weeks without my normal routine has me feeling like I'm in a rut. :( not ok Hopefully soon I can wear a shirt and the rest of my bra!!!Right at this moment, it itches and burns, I'm not touching it, just water dabs with a towel and numbing ointment still. What a nightmare!! Don't wish this on ANYONE so PLEASE HEED MY WARNINGS and instructions for proper use!!This picture is after almost four weeks of healing, it was so much worse and SUPER painful. If you think this looks bad, imagine 10x worse so be CAREFUL (I was careful too, wear full PPE!!!)Also, yes, the bottles tend to decay because the chemical is too strong. This stuff will 100% leak if it's stored, this is not meant for storage. Use what you use and send the rest down the drain, rinse the bottle a few times and recycle it.If I weren't a stupid idiot about it it would be 100% product review because it really does what it's supposed and I think it's the only thing on the market and it's used by professionals too. So be professional about it! :)

Ok, seriously, if you’re brave AND a home owner, BUY THIS.This is the literally the BEST product for mold or mildew i have ever used.YES, it may need to be evaluated by the Chernobyl Nuclear Assessment Team down the road, but PLEASE let me explain and leave some application pointers#1) If you're not using PPE + a respirator, make SURE you only plan to work on small patches at a time, and in a well ventilated area you can get in and out of to fresh air quickly. I cannot stress this enough. This stuff is STRONG. As in...BLEACH x about 5. You can Taste It.Do NOT BREATH IT! If you can, hold your breath, hold the bottle at a safe distance, spray the area quickly, then runaway!“Spray. Then Runaway.”#spraythenrunaway#2) Get a CLEAN towel and place it under the door crack of the room you run out of after spraying. use it, ALWAYS! Clean towel is your buddy here.#3) After 15 minutes, Hold your breath and check out your progress carefully. It dries VERY quickly and the smell/fumes drop to a good 1/2 of what they are during initial application. Again, wait AT LEAST 15 minutes before checking. More mold? Spray a bit more in the areas that need it, ...runaway #spraythenrunaway, ....wait 15 more mins and check again....same process as above.#4 Repeat protocol until about 15-25% of mold or mildew remains.#5 WAIT 2-5 HOURS then check again. At this point, the mold should be almost 100% gone.#6 IF more application needed, repeat process again as many times as needed, ....then proceed to fortune and glory.My Actual Spray Process I used on our Bathroom Window Casing:1. Remove Blinds.2. Cut large piece of cardboard out to use as a mask for window vinyl, steel or fibrex behind the wood casing.3. Grab paper towels, about 10 squares and fold them into little wads that can be stuffed at the bottom of the window sill's left and right sides to catch the runoff from the vertical side casings.4. Grab a small ziplock bag to store the used paper towels in and keep them sealed up and the fumes contained. You can just leave that in the sink.5. Get a fan and set to low about 3 feet from the open window and blowing toward it.6. Grab your cardboard and your RMR 86, take a deep breath, hold it....hit the left side wood casing, using the cardboard as a mask for the window behind the casing, hit the right side, same process. Do NOT try and do the top casing, or spray will potentially come back down on you and get on your skin. Don't overspray. Just hit them quickly enough to cover each side. About 15-20 seconds total should be fine. Stuff paper towel squares in the lower right and left window frame, runaway! (for me, I closed the door behind me and stuffed a paper towel under it. Worked like a charm as the smell never got into the rest of the house.15 minutes later, I cautiously walked back in each time, smelling carefully from a distance and as I approached, as I said, the fumes and volatility drops a LOT after the first 15 minutes but is still STRONG!I removed the paper towels used to capture the runoff in the lower left and right sills, sealed them in the baggie, dropped it back in the sink. Then went outside the room to fresh air, took another deep breath and repeated step 6.Our casing was BAD, so I had to hit it about 4x over an hour.For me, and because I was doing such a small area with plenty of ventilation, I did not go full PPE or respirator. I used long dish gloves, goggles and held my breath each application, keeping the airflow via a fan pushing air OUT the wide open window and as to move any overspray or fumes outside asap.The first application, not a lot of difference. Second, BIG difference. By application 4, 85% of the mold and mildew were gone and we were looking at CLEAN wood. Next morning, I checked and the mold was 100% GONE...so this stuff KEEPS working long after that 15 minute mark. I'd say it likely keeps working up to 24 hours after application so expect to see additional progress on the affected area up to a day later.For the TOP casing, I waited until the sides were treated as explained above. Then 2 days later, I used the same ventilation setup as before. This time, I grabbed a paint brush, poured a tiny bit of rmr 86 into a plastic cup, and lightly painted it onto the top casing, still wearing gloves and goggles. It took more applications...i believe 5 or 6, but was a lot less stressful as I was using so little of the stuff and the fumes, although still bad, were no where near what spraying did. Each application, I'd let sit 15-20 mins, and I kept the paint brush and tiny bit of RMR solution in a cup in the sink so I could just grab and go each new session or dump out with running water. This worked well on the top casing as it was no where NEAR as caked as the left and right sides were, but something tells me, spraying/aerating this stuff out of the bottle must increase effectiveness, as it IS a corrosive and reacts with O2.I'd say if you're doing ANY job larger than what I described here, go Full PPE with Respirator and make SURE the room you are working out of is well ventilated and siphoned OFF from the rest of the house.If you're just squirting a few corners of your bathroom...1-2 squirts, 1 area at a time, then gloves, eye protection and lotsa of ventilation should be fine. Higher up areas, I'd recommend the paintbrush trick. And I'd personally NEVER try and spray multiple areas in the same room...I'd do 1 at a time and leave. Even a few squirts in a few areas adds up fast, and you don't want to create a potential "fume trap" by which you get a breath of lingering spray and burn your lungs/throat, etc. Not worth it!

So I was not sure which product works best therefore after researching on Google various products to help me get rid of the few Mildew Spots on the ceiling of my Bathroom this is the one that kept coming up as recommended. I wanted to get something to take care of the spots before adding the Dehumidifier & Table Top/Wallmount Fan in which I added to the bathroom to help with Ventilation. This stuff works PHENOMENAL but if you use it I would recommend wearing Safety Glasses, Gloves & a Mask because this stuff is VERY STRONG SMELLING. Also make sure to move things out of the way before spraying not to mention wear an old shirt & I say that because if you are spraying the ceiling & some of the mist from the spray comes down it will literally bleach whatever it touches on spot. But all in all this is a GREAT PRODUCT & I definitely stand behind it & recommend it to anyone interested. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
