What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this mold-killing primer for its exceptional effectiveness, with most reporting visible mold elimination after a single coat that doesn't return—even in bathrooms and basements. Reviewers highlight smooth application, quick drying, and excellent coverage that often eliminates the need for multiple topcoats. Many note improved mold allergies and appreciate that it works directly over existing mold without complete removal first. While the odor is noticeable, most find it tolerable compared to harsh alternatives. A few mention adhesion issues on certain surfaces or wish for smaller sizes, but overall customers consider it a reliable, time-saving solution.

Bright white paint that covers mold and mildew like magic. Takes 2 coats for pure white color. Easy to apply since it is quite thin.

Hypersensitive to mold

Would Recommend

I’m hypersensitive to mold and had a water leak in my bathroom that contaminated the bathroom and laundry room (shared walls). Once the mold was remediated I painted both rooms with Zinnser Mold Killing Primer and the spores and mycotoxins vanished. I than painted with a low VOC paint since Zinnser is high in VOC’s. Now whenever I paint Zinnser is the first coat I put on. I’ve had a 2x4 painted with Zinnser, it’s been sitting outside thru rain and snow for 2 years and it’s yet to get moldy

general info

Would Recommend

Hello, This is JUST a primer designed to “kill mold” on most surfaces . I see some people expecting some great do all primer especially without any prep work .. 1) this is a primer to “kill” mold yes and you can paint directly over mold .( i would still clean and dry the the mold with an approprate cleaner such as TSP/Borax) 2) this is not a high hide primer it will not generally cover up stains on one coat (zinsser makes a high hide primer you will have to use that to cover up stains. Or 3)...
