How do I kill mold in a bathroom?

Question : How do I kill mold in a bathroom?
I’m renting an apartment and my bathroom has mold. The renting office made us sign a specific mold clause before hand. It seems as if they knew they had mold and just painted over it because the mold showed up very quickly after we moved in.

How do I get rid of it without paying thousands of dollars to a specialist? It’s on the ceiling so it’s really hard to reach.

bleach, then let sit for a couple of minutes then buy a broom from the 99 cents store and brush the walls.

Are you looking for a toxic chemical disinfectant that effects your lungs and nervous system to get rid of the mold or are you interested in finding a safe, non-toxic disinfectant to remove the mold?

first you need to get it appraised … some mold spores can be really hazardous for your health….
Second talk to a lawyer or check the (www.consumerist.com) articles … if your landlord knew before renting that you had a mold issue he is liable at least for the cost of repairs. (and if it is hazardous to your health you’ve got an even better case)
If none of the previous works.. bleach might get rid of the surface mold, but to get rid of it use Muriatic acid… is not really hazardous (but make sure you use gloves and a mask) … a shower of acid will rid you of even the worst mold… where I live you can buy it in the hardware store…

Spray a dilution of bleach and water using a plant mister.

Remember to wear protective clothing and goggles, particularly when spraying up to the ceiling.

Bleach will kill mold. I used 100% bleach on a nasty type I had in the basement after a flood. Its hasn’t returned.

Don’t pay thousands of $ $ $ . Bleach is very affordable.

Good Luck.

you can find the actual measurements of bleach and water off the Internet but I also found out that Lysol spray is real good too. you spray it on the mold and let it dry and repeat as often as possible. try to keep water and humidity away from that area and the Lysol will work.

clean w/ bleach, then paint over w/ oil-based KILZ primer. that SHOULD stop it from leaching back onto the surface. THEN paint w/ regular ceiling paint.

with a knife or maybe even a gun if you don’t mind cleaning up the mess

**edit**don’t listen to the person before me, never paint over mold – unless you WANT black mold – seriously – use vinegar or bleach!!

The only way I know to kill mold is to first purchase mold killing paint. I’m pretty sure it isn’t too expensive. Anyway you paint over the mold and then let that dry. Then paint over it with regualar paint. If it is black mold it can cause health issues. Good Luck!
