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.

Good quality primer

Would Recommend

Thick paint only needs one coat, it dries fast allowing top coat on same day. Unable to provide opinion as to mold killing performance as it's not been long enough since applying. I like the plastic can and lid, it will not rust.

Great mold killing paint

Would Recommend

The zinsser line of mold killing paint and primer is key to killing mold and mildew on many surfaces. It also can stop the chalky layer that occurs on older paint that is oxidizing and bind it to the surface.

Can leaked

Would Not Recommend

I will be speaking to the store about this. The can of primer leaked inside the box and what is left in the can appears to be solid.
