"biggest scam on the planet... bottle of Clorox and a rag"I like using the Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover; and yes, this is just bleach but I wave the bottle in the tenants face and to them, it looks more "professional" than if I mix a combination of bleach and water in a spray bottle.When the Tilex bottle is empty I refill it with bleach and repeat the exercise with the next tenant (if needed).I also tell them to avoid the area until the spray is dried due to the "powerful" odor this product produces.Gail
