Start with your first coat of paint, firstly painting around the edges of the wall or ceiling using your paint brush. The single most important step of any painting project is to prepare the surface before painting, as any professional decorator will tell you.

You should, of course, try to ensure that areas with a high risk of mould developing are properly ventilated too, but if further ventilation isn’t possible, then anti mould paint is your solution. Anti-damp paint works as a long-term solution, though buildings with serious moisture problems may require additional coats. If this is the case, using an anti-mould paint may be your best option for combating the mould problem.It also doesn’t affect the washability of the substance it has been added to, enabling the mould-free decoration of rooms with the colour of the occupants choosing.

The resulting finish is fully washable and can be maintained using any suitable mould-cleaning spray.
