<![CDATA[Moudy toilet]]>My house toilet is very mouldy, especially the ceiling. Washed and painted it just last year but it is mouldy again. Is there any special kind of paint to prevent mould?


We leave the toilet/bathroom door open after every use but still the toilet smell moudy and the towels are affected too. :frustrated:

I guess my main concerns are (1) clothes wearing out / losing shape more quickly and (2) whether it will become a white elephant 😛
Just happens that I now have a lot of space for hanging out clothes to dry. Without the indoor drying space, I am sure I would have gotten a dryer already.
(1) Don't notice this happening, though if you have a lot of stretchy or knitted fabrics, they may get overstretched, or shrunk if the temperature is too high. I would put them in separately at a lower temperature.
(2) I love having one even though I don't use it all the time. I mostly hang everything to dry, but use the dryer for large or heavy items (sheets, towels, jeans, etc) just for 10-15 mins, to make sure they are dry before storing. And when it rains non-stop like now, I hang everything for a day, then put it all in the dryer to finish off.

I almost got rid of the dryer… ok I shall make more use of it. My dryer been with me more than 10yrs but seldom use.

Before you start cleaning the area, be sure to wear a protective mask and gloves so that you don’t touch or inhale the mould spores.

Clothes dryer is a good investment. It is nice to have warm and completely dry clothes in the current weather.

To save space, U can opt for a dryer that stacks on top of your current washer (provided it is a front-loading one).

Has anyone bought a clothes dryer as a result of the rainy weather? I am tempted.
What are your concerns for not getting a dryer?

It’s a wonderful investment for a busy mum. The new generation of dryers don’t ruin clothes, especially with extra gentle cycles available. Also, with open electricity market, electricity bill is not high at all. I choose to use the dryer during my electricity provider’s off-peak hours, saves a lot of $$.

With rainy season happening few months every year in SG, dryer is a major life changer.

Our toilets have windows and I installed exhaust fans in our toilets too. 7 years no mould and recently got mould on the ceiling. Arghhhh.... Is it because of the recent cold weather? So the solution is to clean it with vinegar every 2 weeks?
Maybe just paint it over with anti-mould paint. That should kill the existing mould & keep away new growth since yours is relatively dry.

My current toilets which face the west sun - fantastic - no mould!!

Whereas those which don't are more prone to mould
West sun, shower area will dry very fast.

We dont get much sun except one side which has been mostly covered. I don't quite like sun but these few years I hope for more sun.

Anybody has tried vinegar/bleach/tea tree oil to get rid of the mould? Did the mould come back after a few weeks?

I've used vinegar and water. I guess as long as the acidity or chemical lasts, the mould will not regrow. But over time, the acid will be washed away. The spores are airborne, so as long as the environment is damp, the mould is likely to grow. Try to ventilate as much as possible (difficult now!). Once the rainy season is past, it should be better.

Vinegar + water.. ok thanks..

This is usually present in condos.


I see less mould growth compared to my previous window-less bathroom. But I still need to clean it roughly 2 weeks. Highly recommend Mr Muscle brand spray (anti-mould bathroom cleaner). It contains bleach, so the smell is very strong. Need to air the room and ask people with asthma to stay away. Spray, leave on for 10 minutes, then wear a mask and go in to rinse it all off. Minimal scrubbing needed cos the bleach is so strong. Essentially I just use the shower head to rinse the soapy suds off. Done.

Next home I get, will insist to install a ventilator.
