Promising review: "I used this product in a bathroom with a popcorn ceiling. My kids were using the shower and not turning on the bathroom fan. Black mold developed on the ceiling. I was a little worried at first because the instructions say to spray it on, let it set for 15 seconds, and then rinse. I didn't want to do that on the popcorn ceiling because it could cause the texture to come off. I sprayed RMR directly onto the areas with mold, and within 30 seconds, the mold was gone, and the ceiling was back to white. There is a very heavy chlorine smell that happens. I turned on the bath fan and let it air out for an hour. After a day, the smell goes away. It's been a week, and there are no signs of the mold returning." —C Burns

"I recently moved into a new apartment and have been cleaning a lot lately. Shortly after moving in, my partner and I tried to store something on top of the kitchen cabinets, only to discover they were covered in a thick layer of grime 🤢. After trying a regular multipurpose cleaner (with little luck), we resorted to the scour paste as a last-ditch effort, and WOW, it worked like magic (as shown in the pics above). If it can handle that mess, it will definitely tackle daily challenges like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells wonderful and comes in minimal, eco-friendly packaging!"
