    One thing I forgot to ask does cat litter help?  I have heard putting some in a sock can help.
    Waste of time really as the bathroom is always going to be a moist environment. The only thing that works, as mentioned, is good ventilation and extraction.
  • Just my opinion but I'd avoid the conditions for mould growth rather than look to anti-mould paints etc as there will be always parts of the bathroom that aren't treated. 

    Keeping that extractor fan running as long as possible (ie keeping the light on if it is connected to that) and keeping the door open to allow ventilation is better.

    De-humidifiers are a reasonable investment, I have one in my bathroom although I have a window because it gets really cold in the winter with the window open and doesn't help dry it out when it is cold. 
  • Bleach will remove it but it won't keep it away. Try to keep the area ventilated and dry of condensation.

    I eventually solved the mould problems in my properties by using an anti mould paint additive I found on line from a companyy called Buildware. It was different to others I had used in the past. Seemed a better product overall. Also a massive winner for me was that the 50ml bottle can be diluted into up to 10 litres of paint, whereas all others I have come across are for at most 5 litres of paint. I use it whenever I paint but also in my rented properties.
