Evil Mold.........

Hi everyone....

Having a mega problem with Mold in my apartment.
I had the Bathroom decorted about 4 months ago and it needs doing again!

For some reason I'm getting Black/Grey "Ghost" patches on the paper, Its not on top of paper looks like it's inside it.

The paper on the wall is proper Bathroom paper and I ALWAYS have the window open!

Dunno what to do I need to redecorate but it will come bk >.<

 

It sounds like the wallpaper needs to come down to me too. Treating is an obvious option, but if it's bad in the drywall(if you have drywall), it might be an option to replace the drywall in the moldy areas after determining/fixing the probable cause, otherwise it'll just be back.

Additional venting in the room might be helpful too--but I don't know if this is the problem.

 

I had a similar problem to this in an apartment I was living in.

They didn't replace the drywall, they just treated it with bleach and then a formal wall mold treatment and it came back within 6 months.

You really need to stab this problem in the backside and I'd take every step necessary including replacing the dryawall.

Check the fan/ventilation system to prevent future occurences as well.

That's my advice to ya, Good Luck!

 

If it keeps coming back, replacing the drywall is your best bet. You can have it replaced with something called green board that is water proof and should be more resistant to mold. I believe that's what my sister did in her bathroom when she was having problems with it.

 

Get rid of the wallpaper...and here are causes of mildew and molds: poor air circulation, low or non-existent lighting, warm and humid temperature.

For cleaning, you can use water and a solution of bleach,scrub bathroom shower walls,doors, etc with a stiff brush.
