How do you get rid of mould on your walls and ceiling? And then once its gone how do you keep it away?
We have mould in our bathroom and I've used exit mould on it a couple of times which gets rid of it but it always comes back in a few months. We keep the room as dry as possible with a dyhumidfier in there all the time but it still get mouldy. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have the same issue in my bathroom.
We use exit mould on it once a month. I'm saving up for some of the resene paint that wipes clean when you get anything on it (works with mould too) ------------- Alex, Thomas and Lily http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Exit mould is just bleach in a fancy package.
I've been watching lush house on the living channel and that lady always uses oil of cloves and water in a spray bottle. That kills the spores and then you just need to clean it off |

Thanks for the ideas. It is such a hassel and is so unhealthy I imagine. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

You really need to dry your house out with a HRV system or similar to stop it coming back, I was forever cleaning mould out of my bathroom, had a HRV system fitted in May and there is not on speck of mould in my bathroom (or anywhere else). An extractor fan would help to a degree as well, or if you can be bothered, I never could, then dry the tiles/walls etc with a towel after you have had your shower so the water doesn't sit on the surface for ages.
Also you can use white vinegar to get rid of it rather than bleach, use some to clean then spray some on and leave it to air dry and that helps it not come back as quickly (still only about same as exit moulding it though) -------------

Oh how I miss the HRV we had in our auckland house! just cant afford it now. I make sure that the bathroom window is open and the dehumidifyer is on and it helps with the steam.. but yea, extractor fan is good too, just make sure its not a ceiling one cuz they just suck the steam out into the roof space instead of outside. ------------- Alex, Thomas and Lily http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
