Zinsser 02754 PERMA-WHITE Mold and Mildew Proof Interior Paint, Quart, Semi-Gloss White

We had a severe mildew problem in one of our bathrooms where the previous owner had painted with a non-gloss eggshell paint. Unfortunately, the vent doesn't work well in that bathroom and a lot of steam sticks around on the walls and ceilings after we shower. We had tried spraying with vinegar & water, and then later bleach & water mixtures and scrubbing away the mildew, but it left unsightly stains, and eventually the mildew grew back again. Finally, after looking at reviews all over the Internet, we purchased the Zinsser Perma-White mold & mildew proof interior paint. First we sprayed a bleach/water solution onto the existing mildew to kill it and wiped it away with a sponge. (I've read that you may be able to skip this step though). Then after the bleach & water mixture dried, we painted over it with the Perma-White. We painted an additional coat after the first coat dried just to even things out. We had no trouble painting our ceiling - the paint went on smoothly, and the small quart size was perfect for our bathroom (only about 60 sq ft). It's been 3 months, and there's no sign of the mildew growing back yet (we're in the middle of summer where it's extremely hot and humid). Normally it would be really bad by now. We're really pleased with the purchase.

We had an issue with the previous bathroom paint we bought when we redid the master bathroom. Before long we had a problem with mold. Since we used this paint we haven't had any problems at all, it looks great and anything that gets on the paint is easily wiped off. Very happy with this paint.

This product is surely going to do the trick with the mold and mildew of our bathroom...but there are a few issues.... it's stench is not what our family would consider to be "low odor," particularly with today's other 'modern' indoor paint that is virtually indistinguishable with its scent. But the odor of this is overwhelming - very chemistry class-like. I would recommend to only use it in a well ventilated area and continue ventilation for a few days. Additionally, if there are any color imperfections on your wall, you will either need to prime, lay a coat of regular white paint first, or lay two layers of this paint. But we bought it to eliminate our moisture problem, and I'm sure that goal will be met with success. Looking forward to NOT seeing the black patches in the corners and ceiling in a few weeks after having used this!!

Works wonders but for whatever reason the wall started cracking and peeling a couple months later...I'm guessing I didn't use a commercial grade alcohol to dry up the surface better because for some strange reason, the paint started cracking...unless there is humidity behind the drywall...then we have other issues...so just know that these types of products do work, but you have to be mindful of humidity, even if it feels dry to the touch. Hope this helps.

Súper bueno. Lo usé para tapar un color más oscuro y cubre perfecto. Además también es resistente y fácil de limpiar.

Bought this to use in my bathroom, the ventilation isn't the best and mold was growing. Wanted something that would stop any further growth and also prevent it from growing in the future. After sanding and then cleaning the walls with bleach, we painted the entire bathroom including ceiling using the mold and mildew primer and then finished the room with this. It went on very easily, and had a surprisingly low oder. Will update 6 months from now on how well its holding up. So far really happy with this product.

Bought to use for a small bathroom with no vent. I had mildew stains on my ceiling which was obviously not pretty to look at and I was concerned not healthy. I used this project and it covered over the existing mildew and has maintained it since.

It didn’t cover very well, I had to put two coats on the baseboards and I stirred it often.
