My Top 5- Worst Things About The Many Hours I Spent Cleaning Mould Off The Ceiling On Saturday

1. It was many, many hours
2. A big droplet of pure bleach fell in my eye
3. I didn't have a ladder. Up on stool, down off stool. Repeat endlessly.
4. I'm so unfit that my arm 'muscles' are still screaming in agony
5. The bedroom still smells like bleach.

Ben, I can think of something even worse to add to your misery. It was all for nought - all you've done is, well, bleach the mould, not kill it. Living in one of the mould capitals of the country I can confirm that it will just come back.

The thing to use is Oil of Cloves. You get it in a very small bottle from the pharmacy and it seems ridiculously expensive. But you put a few drops in a squeeze bottle filled with water and spray your walls, wipe off, respray and leave to dry. Smells (strongly I add) a lot nicer than bleach too.

Thanks- if it comes back again I'll give that a go
