Mildew/mould in bathroom - how to get rid

[Enko]

We have a small bath/shower room with a fan installed no window. A real problem with mildew and currently dh spends time about once a month wiping this off with a bleach solution.. The ceiling is to high for us to be able to reach to wipe after a shower and as we rent we cant really paint anything on it.

Any suggestions for what to do to keep this at bay? Doesnt look that good and also we would like to not have to use so much bleach.

The mould is caused by damp due to steam from hot water condensing on cold walls. The remedy is to adeqately heat and ventilate the room. Your fan appears to be ineffective. Is it possible to check why that is? Also, bleach does not prevent mould returning. Mould cleaner that you spray on and leave to dry, apparently kills the mould more effectively. I know you say you cannot paint, but maybe your landlord would agree to redecorate using antimould paint. It is mixed with cork which makes the surface less cold so the steam does not condense on it.

Fan hasbeen changed whilst we were here and they say it is the correct one.

Unsure landlord would agree to use antimould paint..
We do spray with anitmildew spray but it doesnt seem to work at all.

Try HG mould spray, OP.

Brilliant for Black mould and brown spots in bathroom. No scrubbing required.

Suggest you invest in a dehumidifier. Check out threads on good dehumidifier.

You are currently battling with cleaning and what you need to do is concentrate on prevention instead.

Put the dehumidifier in the hallway near the open bathroom door. I did this when I had my old bathroom. I kept it switched on all the time. It would switch on every so often to test the moisture level. If it was above the level wanted, it would stay on until the moisture level dropped.

Dehumidifiers are brilliant and wished I'd got one years ago. They also help if you need to dry laundry indoors.
