What can you do about mold in a bathroom, Walls and ceiling? Washed it off but it keeps coming back ...!?

Put a table top fan in the bathroom and keep it running on high 24/7. Keep bathroom door open at all times except when room is in use. Your mold problem will disappear. The mold will still be present in microscopic form and will re-grow if you let moisture accumulate on the walls and ceiling. Keep the room dry with ventilation and the running fan and the mold will not be a problem. The reason the fan works is because it keeps warm, moist air moving and doesn't allow it to sit on a cool surface long enough for the water in the air to condense.

First thing, never ever ever paint over mold! You'll be bringing huge problems about yourself. Second, there is no product known to man that can KILL mold. Most likely, you have some sort of water source above the ceiling. If there is any paint bubbling on the ceiling/walls, call your insurance company and they usually cover any damage caused as a result of a water loss.





If you continue to wipe the mold away, it will continue to come back. Whatever the moisture may be from, the mold is feeding on it and spreading. Bleach will do nothing more to the mold then it would a brand new red shirt... Removing the drywall where the mold is found is the only way to get rid of the mold. It should be done by a professional, and with a significant amount of caution. Try to locate the source of the water first, whether it be a leaky roof or cracked pipe. If it is anything of that kind, your insurance should handle most costs affilliated with the remediation.What can you do about mold in a bathroom, Walls and ceiling?

For Bathrooms Scrub it off with an iron filing Scrubber (wearing gloves, to avoid hands getting hurt ) and then wash it off. The molds will not reappear for a substantially longer period. For Walls and Ceilings try Water proofing them with special waterproofing chemical paints and emulsions. I too am just an amateur in the matter. Try better resources and post the same for all to benefit. Regards to all of U.
If you are renting I would call your landlord and have it fixed. If they dont fix it for sure have it tested. We lived with mold in our house for 6 months with the landlord doing nothing. If it is your own home. You could try spraying some bleach that should kill it but it could be in the walls if it keeps coming back. Have you had a pipe burst? That could cause it to happen.
sounds like a ventilation problem, Mold keeps coming back due to moisture, is there a fan? does it work? Try checking into a new vent fan.


Happy Holidays
YOU CAN PRIME IT WITH ''KILZ''. IT WILL KILL THE MOLD. THE BEST WAY TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM IS TO REMOVE %26amp; REPLACE WITH MOLD RESISTANT SHEETROCK.(PROBABLY PRETTY EXPENSIVE)
theres to much steam in b/room,get a de-humidifier in b/room to draw out all dampness,dont forget to empty tray after use.
Get some vinegar try cleaning it with that it does,n smell very nice but it works or you could add some lemon in it.
