    We have had a slight mouldy problem in our room and bathroom since we got new windows, despite keeping the airer bar bit open, leaving windows open when showering etc. The special paint not seeming to work, might try the tea tree idea- well DH might!

    A quick tip that I came across on MSE, that has helped for me is to put a dish of cheap salt near affected areas to suck up the moisture.
    I have damp in a corner in my extension. Last time I cleaned it up I put a plastic tub of salt down and it has definately stopped/slowed it down.
