Spell check says there is no such thing.

I had the exact same problem... some of the paint ended up peeling, as well, so I went ahead and repainted the top half of the bathroom walls with an exterior mold-resistant paint and it's held up far better than I expected. It's been almost six months since I did that and I haven't seen a speck of mold.

Paint the walls and ceiling with some Mildew resistant paint! It is not perfect but it helps a lot. The paint costs more but it is worth it. My friend use to take a sponge mop and dry the ceiling with it by sponging off the excess condensation.

A different language.



Eli, keeping mold in check in the Pacific Northwet is about controlling humidity. In other words, you need that exhaust fan working, or else it's always going to be a losing battle. As mold is now considered to be a health issue, I think you should discuss with the landlord about getting that fixed (reasonably at first).

That's the whole thing, the bathroom wasn't ever built with one.

Looks like it pretty much just boils down to common sense stuff. I was hoping there was an easy solution, like something I could spray on the walls that was more permanent than bleach.
