How can you cover black mold stains?
Nidia, Biker Babe asked:
My mom’s bathroom has poor ventilation and the walls are always full of black mold stains, how can you get rid of them or cover them up, even better, how can you make them go away? I’ve tried mold and mildew resistant paint and it still comes back! What can I do? Tile is out of the question, the bathroom is too small. The walls are just concrete and paint. Please Help!

First to retard the growth always wash down with a mixture of water and bleach. Keep a spray bottle handy in the room and everyone can wipe it down and keep ahead of it. Then use Kilz to cover the stains, allow it to dry really well and paint over with a kitchen and bath paint which resists mold. Then keep the areas wiped down with the clorox mixture. It will always come back over time but the bleach does slow it down and makes the paint job last longer. The kilz forms a barrier between the old stains and the new paint. You may put a small fan in there and always leave the door open when no one is in there and have the fan on during humid weather. Otherwise just keep the upper hand and it will be less often for painting the entire room. I ran an apt. complex and we had to use this to stop mold in lower apts. and around windows also. Good luck.
Follow Miss Mary’s advice but you really need an exhaust fan to take the excess moisture to the exterior air. Just spreading the moisture on a broader area can still cause problems.
u get rid of them with one half bleach one half water in a spray bottle the way to keep them out is to keep the area well vinalated
