Mold on the Ceiling?
Okay, our bathroom is absolutely disgusting. We have plans to remodel eventually, but for now, we have to live with what we have. Anyway, we now have some mold forming on the ceiling. Does anyone know how we can rid of it?

We just use a bleach & water solution on ours. Remembering to put on the fan before we shower helps a bit. We just did our br over and puts some Kiltz primer on I'm hoping will help. It's frustrationg I know.

bleach and water solution........ keep well ventilated. When you remodel consider putting a fan in to pull out moisture

If your ceiling is smooth painted (not a popcorn finish or anything like that) I second (or third LOL) either bleach and water or a 1/2 and 1/2 vinegar and water solution is what I used. Worked well.

The bleach and water should work well. I agree ventilating the bathroom will make a big difference, even a portable fan might help a little.

We had that problem in a bathroom that had no vent. It was an apartment so there was no option to remodel. We cleaned it with bleach, then painted over it with KILZ primer.

Bleach water and a sponge mop to wipe it down with. I do it all the time. My bathroom has been remodled recently and with just the window and no fan it's not enough even though they assured me it would be.
