Help! Ceiling mould

5 replies

BluePeterVag · 11/05/2021 00:12

My bathroom ceiling has developed several patches of black mould. I can’t get a ladder to where I need to clean it properly because one part is over the bath and the other is over the shower cubicle and there is no room. Consequently it has spread.
How can I clean it from a distance without getting the product landing on me?
What should I use to get rid of it?
I don’t understand why we are getting mould on the ceiling, we leave the window open all the time (WFH so home during the day), we have a dehumidifier on the landing and a bathroom extractor fan which we use when bathing or showering. What else can I do once it has been cleaned up to prevent it coming back? Would mould resistant paint on the ceiling really work?

We’ve had lots of bathroom ceiling mould problems, and the HG mould spray was amazing at clearing it up. It did come back, but only after a long time, and was easily treatable again.

We have had some problems with mouse. I used mould spray but it came back, so I also use a dehumidifier after baths and showers, and have treated that part of the room with anti mould paint. That seems to have worked!

Thanks. I am ordering some HG Mould spray and then will look at anti mould paint.
I’m not sure there is anything more we can do to prevent it as the room is well ventilated but I need to kill what is there
