Mould in bedroom and painting

27col

It's no good treating the symptoms until you have treated the cause of the symptoms. The room is obviously being maintained at too low a temperature. Thus encouraging the formation of condensation.

As a lot of other posters have pointed out, cure the problem first but coming from my father with 50 years in the trade, he says forget the expensive rubbish, give it a very good wash with bleach, really strong bleach, to kill the spores then thoroughly dry and then paint with a good gloss. If after this you want a matt finish, go over it after. :beer:

We recently had a similar problem, though we also have a built-in wardrobe, which i noticed the tenants before us had taped up the vent holes.
Thus we freed up the ventilation and then used Plasti-kote Stain Sealer White 400ml prior to painting.
Instead of paying £1 for it, we took a print-out and used the the B&Q price promise, so only cost us 90p.
3 weeks on and everything is good, with no signs of the mould returning.
