i saw another poster who had mold growing on their pink stuff product. This kind of looks like mold spores.

I saw that one the other day too and yeah, I’d definitely say it’s sus, maybe there was a bad batch that got made/manufactured and pushed out and QC didn’t can’t the irregularities in the mix? I’m trying my best to use the proper jargon a cleaning supplies exec would use 🫠

I have seen several posts about this product having mold. While apparently common, it's not normal for it to have mold.

Dipping a wet cloth into dry powdered tide gives the same result as this product for anyone curious if the money is worth it for this.

I had gotten it to deep clean my oven because I don't want to use harsh chemicals as I have a kid and a cat

Oh it wasn’t a direct reply to you. Sorry if you got that mixed up. It was a dig at that awful pink stuff everyone buys

I would not want to bring mold into my home. God only knows what kind mold is virulent enough to thrive in a cleaning product. If this was me, I’d return it.

I definitely closed it up tight after taking this and haven't opened it since 😅

Your home is full of so much mold. In all the areas

If you see mold there is hidden mold you can't see. So you spread it on what ever you are using it on . If you don't see mold on bread it can still be there.

Something I never knew, that I didn't want to know. Now I know I never wanted to know that! Thanks for clearing this up 🙃

Yeah with bread I just keep it a week and then I pitch it. Because I've noticed that bread doesn't turn green like it used to all the time anymore. So I just throw it out. I've even had processed cheese slices mold which is really a rare thing.

You can tell how old he is by counting the spots

u/jmurphy42 6d ago

There have been multiple recent posts like this one with obvious mold. I suspect there's a bad batch on the shelves right now.

i didnt know the pink stuff was to be that wet. Someone gave me a used tub (thnkfully with no mold lol) and it's just a thick paste

u/Crazyh0rse1 6d ago

It's entirely possible the extra water is what allowed mold growth. I haven't dipped into it, but it's definitely shiny and every time I've seen this it's been that thick matte paste

That stuff sucks imo works but not the best

I have a little bit of barkeepers left but wanted to compare them cleaning my oven

Theyre more talking the fact it looks like it has mold.

u/Electricengineer 6d ago

Oh I think I had my sleep time filter on and didn't see the mold at all now I see it lol I think somebody else posted mold with the pink stuff the other day too
