I will say again also, that it is nothing more than a cleaner using sodium hypochlorite (BLEACH) as the active ingredient. Mary Kate does add something to make it more viscous to help with clinging to vertical surfaces. ALL mold/mildew cleaners, that work well anyway, are nothing more than dilute bleach water. If I could cut and paste I would include a link to where I researched specifically for Mary Kate because I haven't checked the brand before.
The website Practical sailor has a good article where they compared 14 different brands of mold/mildew cleaners both with and without sodium hypochlorite. Save your money and mix a little Dawn for degreasing and bleach for mold/mildew. Cost will be pennies compared to Mary Kate at $17++ quart on Amazon.
Apply diluted bleach. Wash with any good soap. Rinse. Wash again. Rinse. Rinse. Apply 303 Areospace Protectorant. Reaaply 303 monthly. TIP-before using any bleach product saturate the carpet with water to reduce the risk of accidental discoloration from drips or spills.
FYI- the cleaner that tested best has sodium hypochlorite at concdntrations 19 times greater than houehold bleach.
And now will come the stories of how it will destroy the stiching. I call bovine excrement!! When you wash a load of whites with bleach do they disentegrate? No, mainly due to proper rinsing. If you are having to deal with mold/mildew more than once a year your problem is improper storage conditions.
