How do I remove mould spores from an inside wall?

researcher

We've just removed a workstation from the corner of a north/northeast facing wall (in place 5 years) - and found some patches of black mould in the corner. I've scrubbed it clean and treated it with Milton sterilising fluid and loads of it has gone, but there are still some very stubborn patches. Before we repaint is there anything else I can do to make sure all the spores are dead?

Thanks

I have this problem with my bedroom :eek:

Put neat teatree over it and leave to air for a week or 2 before repainting. If we get some nice weather that'll help dry it out. I do remember leaving the central heating on full blast for a couple of days to help dry it out. screwfix.com do a fantastic anti-mould paint that you can use as an undercoat (use over the whole wall not just the affected patches to kill off any stray spores) before repainting. The anti-mould paint does work. I did this 8 years ago when i moved in and it hasn't come back. (for which I'm very grateful as I've since had my baby sleep in that bedroom iykwim).

Lakeland Plastic do a really good mould remover but I think the main ingrediant is bleach.

Thick bleach does the trick in my bathroom, scrubbed in with a nailbrush and left for a few hours. The thin economy bleach won't work though.

I have also used bleach in the past. I rubbed it in, left it for a short while and washed it off.

Any good large paint stores (Wilkinsons, B&Q ect) will sell a spray on to cover wall stains.

I have used it in the past and it is very good. The problem is I can not recall the name of it, but they will be able to advise you.
