    niki what do you use to do this please our bathroom ceiling needs doing.

    I've used all sorts over the years, but I've found something that appears to sort it properly: Polycell 3in1 Mould Killer. I got it from Homebargains before Christmas. I think I've seen it as a spray, but I have a litre bottle of it which you apply with a paintbrush. You need to wear gloves and eye protection, personally I also wear a mask or at least cover my mouth just in case. 6 months on from doing a particularly bad area of the kitchen ceiling and still no regrowth :D:j The bit on my frog list is above the cabinets and around the window which are hard to get to, but they'll get done soon, when I decorate my kitchen :D
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    I had a really bad night.. my back and hips are very painful :( I doubt I'm getting much sorted today.

    On a plus note.. we got a note through from the council yesterday (I only just read it) they are doing free collection of bulky items on the 22nd and a few other dates so I shall be flinging with a vengeance to take full advantage of that service.. :D.. broken mower and 2 dining chairs in the shed can go first.. and there is already a dead bed out there! ..

    OH out with DS1 6-11ish tonight so I am doing bedtime on my own.. and he is taking the 2 horaces ice skating this afternoon.. DD2 going too to 'help'. Tiddles at after school club until 4:15 so DS2 can go for her.

    DW on.. OH bossed :p

    Off to the loo and spray the bathroom a bit.. I have 2 full laundry baskets to lug downstairs and 1 load to hang out.

    OH can dress the beastlings!

    Depends how often you will wash and how quick to dry. I would do a wash everyday and dry in tumble so 10 would be plenty....I'm not having anymore babies though :D
