60 years of cigarette smoke and cooking oil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product covered all mildew and cigarette smoke from the past 60 years . Took that nasty deep brownish yellow tint to a nice clean smelling white with no stains and bleeding of the cigarette smoke. The kicthen had a vent a hood that was never installed properly so every4hing was covered in oil and cigarette smoke. After cleaning Kilz was amazing at covering it up and making it smell great. It looks like a new house and kicthen

    Wonderful product
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My cousin had moved into my house and had 2 dogs and 2 cats she kept in her room. After a year she moved out. The room had mildewaround and under the window which she left open for the dogs. The room also was yellowish from her smoking. I bought this product to help with the odors in the room after I could not get the smell out. After only one coat the smell and yellowish tint disappeared. The mold/ mildew has not returned!

                Response from Ronald, Kilz Customer CareFeb 16, 2024
                Hi Chris, thank you for reviewing our Primer. We’re sorry to hear that you had an issue with the primer bonding with the plaster. To fix the areas where the primer peeled, I’d recommend removing any loose paint or primer, lightly sanding the area with 180-grit sandpaper, cleaning the area and letting it dry, and then reapplying the primer. I’ve also reached out to you via email to see how we can assist you further. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Ronald

                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good stuff, we have found mold under flooring from careless owners of our past 2 homes if you can believe it. Bleach it down and cover it right up. Kilz worked exactly as I expected.

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had a leaky door that was unknown and water was leaking and into the subfloor of my kitchen floor and rotting it and causing mold contamination into my crawl space. During remediation,the rotted subfloor was cut out and replaced as well as some drywall . While still a work in progress, I’ve primed the new subfloor with Kiki mold and mildew primer and plan to use it when my contractor replaced the drywall in a week or so

                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were hit by hurricane Ian sept 2022 - and we had horrible mold in one bedroom 10 by 10 and two closets - it was recommended to use Kilz- I’m not a painter but I thought I can do this! I took a couples hours to vacuum dust the walls and tape out a few receptacles- I had it done in 4 hours - it looks great , it did the job I’m 100 percent satisfied- thank you Kilz , Becky

                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I have painted nearly every wall in our house, but we’re definitely no professionals. This paint is very beginner friendly. If it seems a bit thick, try mixing the paint manually and with a stir stick to thin it out a bit. We used this to prime our bathroom and paint the ceiling and it went on beautifully! We used a smooth-semismooth surface roller, nothing fancy. Just need to throw a second coat on the ceiling (if we had spent more time evenly applying it, I’m sure we could get by without it) and we’ll be on to painting!

                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to remove my slumlords bathroom sink and replace it with a kitchen sink when I removed the old sink I found nothing but black mold so I replaced as much drywall as I could afford and I used KILZ MOLD AND MILDEW interior primer to paint over the new dry wall and the existing dry wall covered in mold and so far it has worked no new mold has seeped through my KILZ primer and paint. This stuff is amazing and has saved my health for the last 2 years

                                          Covered raw and painted wood
                                          I moved into an old house where things had been done in a less effective way than I would have done them. The master bathroom has a built-in cabinet on the countertop but behind the tub wall as well as cabinet and drawer storage under the countertop. There was a lot of bare wood and very dingy paint on the shelves. I actually needed to use a flashlight to see into the cabinets for what I wanted to use. I primed all the bare wood as well as the dingy shelves that had lots of imperfections. Then I painted with bright white paint over all of that. Brightened everything up and I have don't have to worry about mold or mildew in the moist space. I just put everything back into the cabinets when I saw this contest. Couldn't bear the thought of taking everything out for a pic. Too many other projects to do!

                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used KilZ mold and mildew on the kitchen walls after taking over a mobile home that had a leak and became mildew,it did an awesome job covering any areas that we were afraid a potential issue not to mention it Killed the smell issue. So we ended up going back and also getting the Traditional KilZ for all the other walls because we knew it would be successful and it was. This kitchen has been a ton of work but we are thankful to have products that will get the job done.

                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this because I purched a repo tiny cabin and where the door was located water had came in and damaged the floor. I ended up removing the door and closing the spot in and installed a window. I did look at reviews before buying this product to paint the entire floor because I turned it in to a bathroom and wanted to cover the water damage. The floor was dry before I painted over the spots. I also installed flooring over it and turned out great!!

                                                  We purchased 6, 1 gallon cans of KILZ Mold and Mildew White Water Based Interior and Exterior Primer, Sealer and Stain-Blocker, White/Flat because Hurricane Ian ruined our house's exterior paint. It was a daunting task but after 2 weeks of long hour days, all the exterior walls were primed and re-painted. We "loaded with colloidal silica" 1 gallon of KILZ primer to further thicken it so as to fill light slashes and surface blemishes caused by flying metal debris driven against the concrete by 120 mph winds. We highly recommend KILZ primer as it provided a smooth surface for re-painting the walls making them look "new" again!

She had some water damage on the ceiling from a leaky pipe upstairs which caused mildew & water stains in the ceiling. Once the popcorn was removed, I covered the mildew & water stains with Kilz, and painted over it once dry. The water and mildew stains were gone and have not reappeared to this day. Great product!

From the floor a few inches up there was mold that we had no idea it was even there. Cleaned the wall and let it completely dry for a week before applying Kilz Mold & Mildew. The 1st coat covered everything entirely. Let it dry overnight and applied a 2nd coat the next day. Never knew anything was ever there! Thanks Kilz!
