The samples labeled "B" are samples coated with paint alone. The petri dishes were coated with aspergillus (black mold) spores and the samples were placed on the surface. The petri dishes were placed in an incubator to allow the mold to grow. The results are pictured above showing the mold avoiding the Paint-Guard samples and not growing on the surface of the treated surface. Mold Mildew Odor-Causing Bacteria PAINT-GUARD and its effectiveness against black mold Passes severe D5590 standard paint film fungal defacement even when subjected to combined strains of mold and mildew spores.

EFFECTIVE Aspergillus (black mold) Penicillium funiculosum Aureobasidium pullulans Lemongrass Scented Lemongrass is not only an excellent antifungal but it's also a refreshing scent.

I don't like the look so I covered them with contractors putty (mud), textured and painted them. They looked great but when I wanted to repaint I ended up sanding down the mud to get a smoother look and I found what I thought was green paint in the mud. I had never painted the room green so after some research we realized it was mold. We live where the humidity is high, we run the AC nearly all the time; the room is not insulated as well as it should be so that must be a recipe for mold?? We had to strip all the walls to remove the mold and start all over again using mud to texture the walls. I found this product on desertcart to mix with the paint to prevent mold from growing. I used it and then after a few weeks stripped an area to check for mold and there was none. During this whole thing I found out that the mold grew very quickly. It took less than a week to show up on a fresh wall. This product is a total life saver and it's not at all expensive. The mold was green and it does not show up until the mud is wet. I'd wet it with a cloth and I was able to peel it off in strips. Off the wall it looks something like paper. But these walls have never been papered or painted green. It was strange and we are very glad to be rid of it. Review: Haven't had any mold growth since using this product! - Excellent product! I had mold on the ceiling in my bathroom and needed something to keep it from coming back. I sprayed it with bleach, then repainted it with this paint-guard. It mixed into my paint easily and didn't affect my paint at all. I haven't had any mold come back since using the paint-guard. I would buy this again if I have other mold problems.

Paint-GUARD utilizes the antimicrobial properties of zinc and zinc oxide to deliver long lasting, environmentally friendly protection from mold, mildew, and odor causing bacteria. **Q: Can this be mixed into spackle to stop mold during storage?** A: That is a creative use idea! We have not tested this circumstance so we cannot suggest Paint Guard to be used in spackling. However, there is no apparent reason it would not work to prevent mold growth in stored spackling. -Paint-Guard Team **Q: Can i use this in my bathroom?** A: Yes! Paint-Guard Mold Prevention Paint Additive works great in bathrooms and other humid areas such as hot water heater closets and mudrooms. **Q: Can it be used on basement walls??** A: Paint-Guard is perfect for protecting damp basement walls from mold growth!

Paint-Guard Mold Prevention Paint Additive - Mix Into Paint to Protect Walls, Ceilings, Cabinets, and Bathrooms from Mold and Mildew Growth - Treats 1 Gallon ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mixes In With No Effect To Paint Color *by D***K on September 24, 2025* Our contractor who finished off our basement area suggested putting this additive in the paint. I was wondering if it would effect the paint color. It doesn't appear to have any effect on the paint thickness or finish. The paint looks the same after drying! I like having the low cost insurance it provides in the paint. The walls have an added layer of protection against moisture. ## Frequently Bought Together - BTG PRODUCTS Paint-Guard Mold and Mildew Defense Paint Additive (2 Gallon Treatment) - Rust-Oleum ZINSSER 276087 Mold Killing Primer Quart --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/81249771-paint-guard-mold-and-mildew-defense-paint-additive-1-gallon](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/81249771-paint-guard-mold-and-mildew-defense-paint-additive-1-gallon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
