The stuff kills quickly - but you need frequent treatments to keep the mold away in high-humidity or heavy-use environments (hint for LPM).
Sure, Tilex works very well. But the active ingredient is chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite), which is a pretty harsh and strong-smelling chemical. It's possible that hotels (not just LPM) don't want to use it because (in no particular order): 1) exposing workers to it all day might not be good; 2) exposing guests to it all day might not be good; and 3) the odor of chlorine is pretty offensive to some people.... etc. Just speculation on my part. Maybe they DO use something, but less odorous and less toxic (therefore less effective).
