I have a square inch of mold growing above the shower on the painted wall. What can I use to clean that with? It seems to be growing.

This happened to me to. Mold growth seems to be becoming more prevalent these days.
The best thing to use is bleach because it will kill everything. But be careful to wear a mask or something to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breath in the spores.
Also, it is possible that you have a small air leak and that when the steam condenses on the wall it meets with the cold air and causes mold to grow. You should look into sealing that part of your wall. Caulking will do the trick.

Dilute household bleach in water about 50/50
You may have to remove paint and paint with mold resistant paint if the mold is behind the paint

Here is a link to the EPA, environmental protection agency, it is the guide for mold clean up.

helps reduce all three of the major forms of air pollution: particles such as pollen, pet dander, dust, and cigarette smoke; microbes such as mold and bacteria; and gases and odors. That's especially critical since the Environmental Protection Agency consistently ranks indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health.

i like the lysol mold remover, think that its works better than bleach for the bathroom and it doesn't smell as bad as bleach. let it stay on at least 10 mins. before you rinse.
