Attempts with an extractor fan ceiling heater and opening the window in an all tile bathroom have proved inefficient, so I intend to use undiluted bleach and hope it works. Grateful for all your comments. Milli very useful information, which i am going to try when the weather gets a little less frosty.

I would make sure I had the window open, and if you can't reach the ceiling you could use a mop. Mold is very toxic. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> A mixture of bleach and water.

I was just getting ready to sign out of Yahoo! completely just now & ran across your question so I had to answer because I have just gone through the EXACT thing here at my friend's house! It was only above the shower head at first, shortly after he moved in & started showering daily. (I believe it had been empty for sometime before he bought it, so of course there was no sign of mold anywhere at that time) After some time during the first summer after he moved in, and it's actually been 2 years on the 1st of June this year since he moved in, so the mold appeared over the summer & that is odd in itself where we live here in the Denver, CO metro area because we're just a very high altitude desert & we honestly have very little humidity (or rain or clouds!) during the summer mostly. Humidity tends to be single digits....it is VERY dry here. I tried using some regular bathroom (shower kind) cleaner which didn't work. Plus I'm not able to reach the ceiling so I was also trying to use a mop on the ceiling after I sprayed it. Of course mops-unless they're sponge ones-want to go DOWN & getting any part to touch the ceiling aside from the handle was a pain & worthless. I tried all other things on the mold, too. Especially the products that claim to kill "mold and mildew"!! I finally tried the bleach sprayed directly on the mold & I did get onto the edge of the tub to scrub what I could with the rough side of one of those sponges, but couldn't reach all of it because it had continued to grow, regardless of my efforts. Until the BLEACH!! BLEACH!! That was my solution finally! I noticed one day after I'd sprayed the mold with the bleach but didn't even try to scrub it. I think after maybe only spraying it twice with the bleach very well & it hasn't returned at all. And after taking so long to find something to work, I don't remember for sure when I first used the bleach, after the beginning of this year I know, but it didn't take any time at all for all of it to disappear. Thankfully. I sprayed then let it dry then sprayed again the very first time I used the bleach, so you may want to try it. Just don't plan to stay in there long because the smell will kill you!! But do try to scrub as much of the moldy area as you can after you get it good and VERY wet with the bleach. After that I just try to remember to spray some bleach once in a while now to keep it away & so far it's worked great!! Hope you have the same great luck with this as I have!!! Good Luck....that mold is nasty!!<br><b>References : </b><br> I put pure bleach into a spray bottle, absolutely no water with it, and before you spray your ceiling with it be sure the nozzle is set to "spray" and NOT "stream".

Ours say Mold and Mildew remover. I think it's by Lysol. Just use this or a solution of 1 part household bleach to 3 parts water. dampen a rag with this and wipe away. the mold should come off easily. in case of grout (the white cement stuff between tiles) you can use a scrub or a brush to really get in there. mold is caused by moisture so if you don't treat that, it'll keep coming back. make sure the area is well ventilated and always dry.<br><b>References : </b><br> I'm pretty sure there's a commercial product available in a spray bottle.
