Nothing noticeable unless you look closely, and I'm not even sure that my mildew remover (clorox outdoor) had anything to do with it, but is seemed so. My advice would be to spray it on, don't scrub till it's dry. I noticed on my house and porch that when the mildew is dead, it loses its color (or lets go of whatever it is stuck to) and scrubbing hard isn't necessary. Just my 2.
