  • Patent number: 5281280
    Abstract: A composition for removing mildew is provided in composition comprising an aqueous solution of, by weight, about 2.75-4% sodium hypochlorite, about 0.5-1% sodium bicarbonate and about 0.5-5% d-limonene. The composition is particularly effective in removing mildew, mold and algae from variety of household surfaces, such as wood, metal, ceramic and plastic without damaging the surfaces. The composition is applied to the surface, usually by spraying, and allowed to react with the mildew. After a few seconds, the mildew is easily removed by rinsing with water. Furthermore, this particular combination has additional advantages in that it can also act simultaneously as a de-greaser, while giving off a pleasant citrus-like aroma.
