Removing Mold and Mildew Stains
  Mold and mildew spores are everywhere and there is nothing you can do about it.
You can, however, prevent them from growing to a point where they become visible and create a potential health hazard for you and your family.
Mold and mildew spores thrive in darker, warm, humid environments and prefer porous substances like flat paints, wood and textiles.
If left unchecked for too long, they become very difficult to control and can even permanently damage and discolor many surfaces.
Many people complain about unsightly mold and mildew stains on walls and ceilings in their bathrooms, bedrooms, closets and kitchens. But, no matter how embarrassing this problem may seem, you must realize that simply repainting or cleaning mold and mildew stains off surfaces is not the solution. Without finding and addressing the cause, your problem will quickly and surely reappear.
Improving ventilation and natural light, using dehumidifiers to control moisture levels, properly caulking your house to prevent rain from getting into the walls - these steps are a must.
Then, once you've eliminated the source of the problem, removing mildew stains is easy:
- Spray the affected area with a mixture of 1 part bleach / 3 parts water and let it sit on the surface for 10-15 minutes
- Rinse the surface with water and let it dry
- Apply 1 coat of anti-mildew primer and let it dry
- Apply 1-2 coats of washable paint - its smooth, non-porous surface is hard for spores to attach to. Plus, this paint can be easily washed to remove dust, dirt and soil that accumulate on the surfaces and are common mildew foods.
Finally, even though most quality paints are mildew resistant, you may want to buy and mix 1-2 packets of mildewcide additive directly into the paint, to use in the most persistent mildew prone areas - for an extra protection and peace of mind.
