Q: Why is it better to use bathroom paint in a bathroom or ensuite?
A: Bathroom paint contains a biocide which is very effective against mould growth which can attack and cause degradation in ordinary non bathroom paint. This is caused by moisture and steam.
Q: I have green mould on the outside of my house. Can I just paint straight over it?
A: No. All mould growth be it green, red or black has to be treated with fungicidal wash before painting.
