what can be done about mold on the painted ceiling of my bathroom?

Answer 1

I use a 1/2 and 1/2 bleach/water solution in a spray bottle from watering plants and spray it till it beads up and wait the mold will be bleached out but be careful to vent the smell is really strong and wear googles too. also clear anything you don't want bleached as well like the floor mat, towesl etc out of there until your done

Answer 2

I agree with Larry L.

I only want to add that to prevent this from reoccurring, make sure the ventilation system is working in the bathroom to avoid condensation build-up, and repaint the ceiling with mold inhibiting paint...it is a hardware store item.

Good luck with that.

Wash the ceiling with a mop soaked in a soluton of one part washing soda to six parts water. Rinse and dry well.

Here's a link for a website where you can buy washing soda if you can't find it in your local store: http://supplyhero.com/Search.0.9.htm?SearchText=washingsoda

Another mehtod is to use a solution of 1/4 cup bleach in a glalon of water. Wear protection for your eyes and clothes when doing this. Rinse well and dry.

Oil repels moisture so you might want to wipe your ceilings occasionally with with a little baby oil. Use a covered sponge mop to make it easy. Don't forget to use that bathroom vent fan, if you have one, while showering to keep the moisture down.

They sell special paint for bathrooms at homedepot to prevent mold.

Answer 5

We had to repaint our bathroom. Use Killz primer. It will block the mold from coming back through. It also blocks cat smell, and cigarette yellowing from seeping through the paint.
