The presence of mold in areas like tile grout, shower caulking, washing machine and fridge gaskets — and even on surfaces you can smell but can’t see — is pretty concerning. It’s often an even bigger challenge to effectively remove and prevent it from coming back. Fortunately, reviewers insist that this mold and stain fighter will actually do the job, even going so far as saying it removes years-old mold from washers, showers, toilets and more. As one reviewer puts it: “If you’re dealing with stubborn mold or mildew, don’t hesitate — this stuff works.”
While we normally cover discounted items, we’re making an exception here: We think this is an incredible buy considering how many reviewers love this mold remover for its magic! For less than $20 on Amazon, to us, that’s still a bargain.
Made by Active, which makes a super-popular easy toilet bowl cleaner, this formula is highly concentrated and sticks to even vertical surfaces thanks to its gel consistency.
According to its many supporters, the cleaner tackles stains and black mold on tile grout, caulking, and even areas like gasket seals in their washing machines. It’s so effective that several reviewers have claimed that it’s prevented them from needing to replace things like shower stalls and grout, since this restored surfaces to “like new” conditions, while also preventing the mold from coming back.
“Had these stubborn mildew stains in the calking of our shower that no matter how much bleaching and scrubbing I did, it would not come out,” explains one reviewer. “Saw this still and had to try it. Worked like a charm.”
“Literally magic,” says another. “It removed the stuck on stained green mildew/mold from the seal on my washer literally overnight. […] My washer is so clean! Not a factory reset but pretty good for being an almost 10 year old front loader..”

“This ACTIVE mold stain remover gel has been absolutely incredible for tackling the persistent mold and mildew problems in my front loader washing machine – the quality is outstanding with a heavy-duty formula that actually penetrates and dissolves black mold stains that other cleaners couldn’t touch, and I love how the gel consistency clings to surfaces instead of just running off like watery cleaners that never seem to work effectively. The functionality is phenomenal as it completely eliminated the musty odors and visible mold buildup around my washing machine door seal and detergent drawer that had been driving me crazy for months, and I’m amazed by how quickly it works without requiring excessive scrubbing or multiple applications like other products I’ve tried. It looks great with professional packaging that gives me confidence in its effectiveness, and the gel formula makes application precise and controlled without messy dripping or waste that comes with spray cleaners. At this price point, it’s incredible value compared to expensive appliance service calls or replacing washing machine parts due to mold damage – this single bottle has completely restored my washing machine to like-new cleanliness and freshness, and knowing my clothes are being washed in a truly clean environment has given me such peace of mind, making this one of the most essential household products I’ve discovered for maintaining appliance hygiene and preventing the health concerns that come with mold exposure in washing machines that see constant moisture.” — Amy Biggs
“I never write reviews, but this blew me away to the point that I felt I needed too. I just bought a house that ended up having a nasty washer. Spent hours cleaning gunk out of the front rubber part. It remained black no matter what. Was at the point of thinking about replacing the washer because it was grossing me out so much. Wish I would have taken a before photo but I’d already assumed it was a lost cause. Tried this stuff without much hope and it removed ALL the mildew staining. The washer looks brand new!! Give it a shot!” — Vig
“The person that installed our shower did not use the correct type of caulk/silicone & we have had a problem for over 10 years with mildew growing under it making it practically impossible to clean & remove. My husband saw this online & wanted me to order a few bottles. I was very skeptical ordering this product because nothing has ever worked. After applying it I still didn’t think it would work. Boy was I wrong! THIS STUFF is MIRACULOUS!!! I will definitely be ordering more! My shower looks like new! I am SOLD!!!” – Jan S.

Promising review: “I had cervical spine surgery and suffered permanent nerve damage and my right arm is weak, so I am always looking for lightweight and efficient machines that I can easily manage. And I am so happy with my new Little Green. I can’t believe I waited this long to buy it. I’ve had my Little Green about a month now and I use it probably 2-3 times a week. I just got a new puppy and it is no problem cleaning up his messes and I know it’s clean and not soaked into my rugs and carpet. I love that I can keep the clean water tank full so that it is ready at a moments notice for a quick clean up and all I have to do is plug it in and zip/zap the cleaning is done.” — Michelle S.

The Dyson V8 cordless stick vacuum that’s lightweight and easy to maneuver
Cordless vacuums are total game-changers in terms of convenience and ease of use. This reader-loved luxury option from Dyson can transform into a small handheld vacuum for stairs, cars or countertops and can be easily used on ceilings, baseboards and other hard-to-reach places. A single charge will give you 40 minutes of cleaning time and it has famously strong suction to get every bit of mess.
Promising review: “This is a “must have” vacuum. I can’t believe I’ve been lugging around a heavy vacuum and a cord for years! The suction is terrific and the first time I used it, it wasn’t even on max suction and did a fantastic job. First time I used it the debris canister was so full I couldn’t believe I had thought my house was clean. Anyway, it’s lightweight. I’m 69, have had back surgery and this is easy for me to use. My daughter and daughter in law have one and I was sold. I got this model because it empties the original way. The newer models require detaching attachments to empty. Research it. I am extremely pleased.” — Harvey

Promising review: “I love this small vacuum! I have arthritis in my lower back and this vacuum is such a blessing. It’s light and has a strong suction. We have viral planking floors and this little vacuum picks up all the crumbs and small dog hair that fall to the floor in our living room. I don’t know what I would do without it. I’m 70 and have had other “dust busters” of various brands, over the years. In my opinion, for my limited mobility, this one is the winner! Love it” — Gloria J. Tjersland

Promising review: “This smells delightful and is very powerful without seemingly a harsh chemical. I used it on a 3 year old dog pee stain that I could NOT remove. This GOT RID OF IT. I didn’t need to scrub and kill my back arms, shoulders, and hands to get it out. I sprayed it generously since other products never worked, I then used a microfiber cloth and rubbed in each direction for about a minute and walked away. The next day it was dry and there was no stain. Day two, no stain. I am on day five and still no stain. I am pretty impressed. This is going to be my go to for any stain on my carpet.” — Kathy
