Thanks to the L-shape of our small bathroom, water vapour tends to congregate in one area, which suffers from a gradual build-up of grey-black mould on the ceiling and on the tile grouting.
Also there is a terrible mould patch behind a cabinet that is on the wall in that area - to the extent that I will have to take it down.
There is a small extractor fan (in the other part of the bathroom) but this is pretty ineffectual. We do however open the windows wide every time we shower and leave them open for 20 mins afterwards: I doubt whether another extractor fan would be as effective as that in ridding the place of moisture?
Anyway at the moment we clean the mould off every month or so with general cleaning products, although I have just bought the Dettol for mould in case it gets more stubborn.
Is it worthwhile regrouting the tiles and repainting the ceiling with 'mould-resistant' products or are they rubbish?
