Does anyone know of a ceiling paint that would avoid moisture affects to the ceiling? Our bathroom is getting mildew from the steam from the shower. We even have 2 fans in there. One in the center of the room and 1 over the shower. It hasn't helped?
We want to avoid ripping apart the celing and starting over so trying to find a solution before it's too late.Bathroom ceiling paint to avoid mold/mildew?
At the hardware store you can get a packet of stuff called Killz that you can mix (thoroughly!!) into any brand/color of paint. The packet is like the size of a single-serve salad dressing packet you get at a restaurant.
Be careful with it, though. My wife got a droplet in her eye when she opened the package, and that was not a good thing.Bathroom ceiling paint to avoid mold/mildew?
First, try cleaning your ceiling with bleach to kill the existing mold. Then, you can try using a paint with zinc, which is a mold preventative. I would also recommend going with a gloss or semi-gloss paint, as it will not soak in water like a flat paint.
Good luck!
all paint stores sell packets about two bucks that they will put in the paint to stop the mold i used it in my bathroom when i painted three years ago and it solved the problem
