Mould on en-suite ceiling

6 replies

I have a very small en-suite which has a fan which we always use when showering but in the summer I noticed some mould spots on ceiling. I stupidly left it as things were manic at home and now with winter central heating on it seems to have taken on a life of its own. Any ideas on how to get rid please? have tried neat bleach

HG mould spray is fantastic. You could maybe wipe it on rather than spraying upwards.

Do not use bleach it feeds mould apparently. Get the astonish mould and mildew spray it’s great.

Thank you so much for your help. That bleach helps it grow. May explain why it is has massively grown. Thank you both so much

Second HG mould spray. Be careful though - I put dust sheets over sink and toilet to catch the drips.

Bleach does not help mould grow!

HG mould spray is fab, then re-paint with a bathroom paint, and increase the ventilation, maybe run the fan longer while ensuring window and door are closed after a shower and then leave the window cracked open the rest of the time.

Make up a baking soda and white vinegar solution in a spray bottle and then clean the mould off with that. It is natural and safe way of removing it! Using chemicals like bleach and mould and mildew remover is going to be very toxic and in a small bathroom like that, you don't want to be breathing in strong fumes or having it drip everywhere. That's how I cleaned mould off my bedroom walls when we had damp problems last Winter and it still hasn't come back now (fingers crossed it never does).
