How To Treat and Prevent Mould on Walls and Ceilings
This video guides you through removing mould and protecting walls in damp rooms. Condensation from showers often causes black mould spots on ceilings and tiles. The footage demonstrates a straightforward process to clean the area and seal it against future moisture damage.
The first step is preparation. The video shows how to apply a mould killer spray generously to the affected patches. Use a cloth to wipe away the black residue and clean the surface. This removes spores that standard cleaning might miss. Wait for the wall to dry completely before proceeding to the painting stage.
Open the tin and stir the paint thoroughly to distribute the protective compounds. The video shows using a synthetic brush or roller for application. Apply the first coat evenly to the wall or ceiling. This layer acts as the initial barrier against humidity. Leave this to dry for four hours. Apply a second coat to seal the surface fully. This increases the protection level in high-moisture zones.
The demonstration features Ronseal 6 Year Anti-Mould Paint to show the final white, matt finish. Allow the paint to dry for twenty-four hours before using the shower or bath. This maintenance task keeps rooms looking clean and prevents damage.
