How to Remove Mildew From Painted Walls in a Bathroom

    • 1). Put on rubber gloves and fill a bucket or the sink with hot water. Add a cup of bleach.

    • 2). Scrub the walls with a scrubbing sponge and the bleach/water mixture, working from the ceiling down. Use the soft side of the sponge to avoid scratching the paint and giving mildew a new place to hide.

    • 3). Wipe down the cleaned areas with a soft cloth and dry them completely. Pour out dirty water and make a fresh solution when the water becomes cloudy to avoid spreading mildew to other surfaces.

    • 4). Wipe down fixtures, counters, tile and grout with the same solution. To keep mildew from returning, you clean every surface in the bathroom.

    • 5). Control humidity in the bathroom to keep surfaces dry or dry them quickly after use. Install a dehumidifier, turn on air conditioning, use fans in bathrooms for 15 minutes after taking a shower or open windows when weather permits. Even when humidity is high after showering, moving air encourages evaporation and strong light also will keep mildew from redeveloping.
