What Customers Are Saying

The primer provides excellent coverage and sealing capabilities, even in high-moisture areas. A single coat is often sufficient to completely cover and seal existing mold and mildew stains, and it effectively prevents future growth. The primer is easy to apply, dries quickly, and has a low odor.

Great cover

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I learned it doesn't take much of this product to cover a surface. I didn't have much experience with it until my husband clued me in and I was happy with the results. I bought a gallon to prime some doors and have a lot left still!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Kilz Mold and Mildew Interior primer on my basement floor prior to the placement of paint. It made the floor fresh and clean before I painted it and 3 years later, still looks wonderful, no lifting, no bubbles! Kilz for the WIN

Great coverage!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had to use a primer for the bathroom. Saw that it was for mildew and mold and thought perfect! The bathroom previously was painted a dark green; I thought I had to buy a lot to cover it especially since I was painting it white. Covered well in one!
