anti condensation paint
I am trying to shift some black mould from inside bedroom wardrobes
(back on to outside wall) which I believe to be a problem with condensation. It's very hard to shift having scrubbed with bleach and then fungicidal wash. I have seen anti condensation paint for £30 (shop doesn't have the smallest tin) My question is - is it worth applying this paint if there is still the sign of black mould? Does the surface have to be totally free of mould? thanks a lot, Andrew |

Does the surface have to be totally free of mould? If it is definitely condensation (which does sound likely), and not some other cause, I'd recommend you stick up expanded polystyrene 'wallpaper' (B&Q etc) - does the job very well, by reducing the temperature gradient between the outside wall and the room air enough to prevent condensation forming. That, and/or increasing ventilation and airflow within the wardrobe somehow. David |
