If you have black mold, it could be hazardous to your health, and growing in places you can't treat. You may want to consider bringing in an expert who can determine what the problem is.





If you'd rather just deal with it and hope for the best... Scrub the area down with diluted ammonia. Spray thoroughly with lysol or a similar product. Paint over with Kilz.





In order to prevent more mold, you probably need to check to make sure that your bathroom vent is working and properly installed. The fan in the bathroom ceiling removes excess moisture before it can cause problems... After showering, turn on the fan to remove the steam, or you'll just have more mold.
I recommend a product known as Physan 20 or Triple Action 20. I heard it is the same formula created by two brothers who split the business and went separate ways. You can search each of these and find links to buy them.





The product is safe to use, and kills mold and mildew. I've used Triple Action 20 in a dilute form to kill plant diseases like Anthracnose, and Fire Blight. It is amazing!
Tilex is actually bleach-based. So, you can go with a home-made product, if you want. Make a diluted mixture of bleach and water (you can fill the sink with it) and mop your ceiling and walls with a sponge-mop. You can fill your tub with a few inches of clear water to periodically clean out the sponge mop. Empty your sink and tub (bleach solution shouldn't sit too long on any chrome or other metal in there...drain, etc. ) Wait about 15 or 20 minutes until the black stuff disappears. Then, refill your tub with clear water to help rinse off the bleach solution with that same mop. This is all assuming your walls and ceiling are painted with a washable paint. If your walls are tile, you can spray (fill one of those plastic mist bottles ) them with the solution, let it sit for 15 or 20 minutes, and rinse. If that doesn't work, it is safe to apply straight bleach to tile (especially necessary for the grout because that fungus gets into the porous material), wait 15 or 20 minutes, then gently scrub with a scrub-brush or rough sponge. (Gently...this can get messy because the scrubbing may make splatters.) Open any windows or doors in the bathroom for necessary ventilation while working and while the solution is doing it's thing. Wear protective gloves, and be careful not to splatter on your clothing (white spots!) and especially not on your face. (If you aren't confident in your technique, you may want to put on some protective eye-glasses. You absolutely don't want to get bleach in your eyes...there should be warnings on the bottle about what to do if that happens.) Again, all surfaces should be rinsed well afterward with clear water. The fumes can be unhealthy, and can actually lightly bleach fabrics in the area.


Of course, this is all assuming that black stuff is fungus, although I don't know what else it might be.


Good luck!
bleach water
Have you tried a bleach spray or bleach and water mixture. Love it in my bathroom. Use it weekly.
Yes, it's clorox . If it's on your walls or ceiling, which I get here, I put a squirt of dish soap and clorox together in a bucket and use a mop thats wrung out and hit the ceiling and walls.





I have had luck with Clorox Cleanup for the grout on the tile around the tub. Might have to sit awhile. Open the windows, or get out, don't hang around in a small area.
there is a tilex mildew remover but it doesnt smell nice i would use a 10% bleach solution and the rough side of a sponge
Tilex or bleach and a rough sponge.
Tilex mold/mildew works great. Be careful where you spray, it's essentialy a spray bottle with bleach
I use undiluted bleach from a spray bottle. Protect you eyes and don't breath it in...


Rinse it off after about 10 minutes.
i haven't found a chemical at the store that works as well as the bleach/water spray bottle... just use it in a well venataled area and dint use a lot of bleach.. let it sit for 15 minutes then rinse off....
I would suggest Bleach and Water. After you get all the Black marks off the ceiling. Maybe you should paint it with a enamel,or gloss, I had the same problem, and since we painted ,it has been OK.
mold from the moisture, put clorox in a spray bottle and spray the walls and ceiling and floor of the shower each time after you shower. put a small fan in the bathroom and point it at the shower and let it blow in there for at least an hour or all day if you wish.
you can use various things to clean the infested areas, yes I said infested mold is actually a living organism.





Clorox/bleach is a cheap way out.Might want to clean with a timbor or moldicide.





The main reason you accumulated mold growth is because of inadequate ventilation. If you are going to try and tackle this yourself make certain you wear a respirator.
