Mold is a type of fungus. Many fungi, including mold, are decomposers, which means they help in the decay of dead matter. This keeps us from being buried in dead animals and plants, so mold is very useful. Unfortunately, some people are allergic to mold, but they should remember that it does serve an important role in our world.

THis means these products are only cleaning the stain left over after the mold is already dead, not actually killing the mold. Its a grey area where manufacturers of these cleaners are trying to get around EPA regulations. As for Mildew, mildew is a grime (dirt) not mold.
