Mold on ceiling

I humidify every night, but the mold has spread all at once to the ceiling. I am panicking because it spread so quickly.

I cannot stop humidification. My throat can't stand the dryness. First of all, I have to clean it, but it is the ceiling, so I wondered how to do it.

I think it is too much to spray bleach, but do you guys have experience with this kind of thing ？ Please tell me how to clean it, what cleaning tools and chemicals I should use, and what to do in the future. Please do.

Wow, even with just a humidifier, mold can grow
Well, if you do it every night, it will grow
It sucks to sleep in a room like that
You risk getting asthma or lung problems

I sometimes wear a mask when I sleep
And my breath humidifies it because my nose is cold and I can't sleep.
But too much humidification is not good for bacteria growth, so I take off the mask when I wake up in the middle of the day.　

If you keep using the humidifier after cleaning the mold as hard as you can,
it will be the same thing all over again.　

Do you ventilate properly during the day ？

We had a lot of mold in our bathroom in the winter when it rained ､ I asked my landlord to clean it, but the same thing happens every year.　　I can't handle it myself,
I have to broom off the mold first, then clean it with a chemical, then paint it, then spray it with anti-mold spray just in case, and can't use the bathroom until it is completely dry.　

If you are a woman, it would be hard to get on a ladder to clean the high ceiling.　You could have a professional do it and use a mask instead of a humidifier ？

If that's not possible, you'll have to move to a place that's mold proofed.

If your throat can't take the dryness, what do you do when you leave the room and go to the front ？
bleach won't get the mildew out （ lol ） you have to use mildew special （ lol ） you may not realize it but the back side of the carpet has mildew too

I don't know, I don't have a carpet.

Humidification is only for sleeping, so going out is not relevant. Which product is dedicated to that mold ？

On TV they sprayed bleach to take the color out of the mold. I know it is just for looks, but I asked because I don't know how else to do it.

Once completely dried, the mold will disappear.

Wow, sleeping in a room full of mold ？

Even if you don't have a rug, you have clothes in your closet ？ They're all moldy

You can't dry them completely, or rather, how can you ？.

I humidify every night and the mold has spread to the ceiling at once. I'm not sure if it was

a problem until now.

It's probably the same as the mold in the bathroom ？
Clorox will take it out. But it's hard to spray on the ceiling, so you'll have to put it on so it doesn't drip. Chlorine is dangerous if not done with good ventilation. If it is spread over a large area, it is better to do it little by little. The bathroom was fine with the Clorox because the bathroom material has a water breaker finish, but I'm worried about whether it will damage the ceiling in the room or not, or whether it will stain the ceiling. You can try it for a bit ？ You should wipe it with water well after the mold is removed. Since you will probably sleep there with the humidifier on.

Thank you, Clorox.

Yes, I thought it was difficult to spray. Yes, I thought it would be difficult to spray it, but I have two kinds of Clorox, one for cleaning the kitchen and one for cleaning the bathroom. I'm spending my daytime with the windows open for better ventilation and the heater on for the time being.

I am surprised that this is the first time this year, but I think it is also because this year I spend most of my time in my room during the day and didn't leave the windows open much because of the cold.

You can wrap a paper towel around the end of a long stick and fasten it with a rubber band, put enough Clorox on it so that it doesn't drip, and dab it on the mold ？ When you wipe it off, put water on it as well. I did my own bathroom like this and it was amazingly clean. But a few years passed and the mold grew back, so I did it again.

Even if you could remove the mold by asking here, it would be the same if you keep using a humidifier.

Mr. Clorox, sorry for repeating myself. Thank you. I was only thinking of spraying, but I can reach it with a stick. I will try it. Thank you ！

17, yes, that's why I want to clean it.
