I have some dusty (NOT mildewed nor moldy) spots on my bathroom ceiling
that I would like to clean.

However, in my past experience, residue from soaps provides food for
mildew and I ended up with mildew in the spots that I had cleaned with
soap.

What kind of cleaner or detergent can clean a bathroom ceiling without
leaving residue that mildew can feed on?

I like Spic/Span for washing walls and windows. I suspect the mildew
has a lot more to do with dampness and inadequate vent. than with soap.
Just clean it and rise it. If there is an A/C vent blowing onto a
wall or ceiling, it can cause condensation and then mildew from the
continual dampness. Got exhaust fan?
