Water based stains do not promote mildew growth as there is nothing in the stain (no oils) that "feed" the growth of mold/mildew "in" the stain. The issue is that mold/mildew can grow on "top" of any surface and stains can not prevent this from happening. I would apply 1 part bleach to 5 parts water to the shutters. Spray on with a garden sprayer and rinse off after a few minutes. This should get rid of the mold and should not harm the stain. - TheSealerStore Mon, 23 Jan 2012 01:17:50 +0100 http://www.twpstain.com/?catid=#comment-721 We purchased the Storm Shield in honeytone to stain four new cypress shutters about six months ago. We live in South Lousiana and it is humid here. The shutters are already showing tons of mildew-I can send pics if you want. Why did this happen? This product says it is mildew resistant and I would expect it to work for longer than six months. I applied it as instructed on the label. - Alix Prete Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:41:50 +0100
