Mold that propagates from exterior moisture and through the wall to the interior surface, cannot be corrected with paint. "Out of sight, out of mind" doesn't work with mold contamination, which is thriving inside the wall.
Benevolent Protector can it affect you if its inside the wall??
Benevolent Protector how do you stop it ?
Eyre Borne thanks for the reply. I livei n a condo very small studio unit, and I dont know why this is very prone to molds, I open the window and exhaust in the bathroom but still, every food I live on the table (inside a tupper wear) gets mold in 48 hrs. I mean I know I shouldn't leave it there but still 48 hrs is too fast, not to mention I had a huge mold problem few months ago that started in the shower heater. I don't use that anymore because of that.
Only true way is to investigate why and where it is,smash plaster off to brick,repair outside walls or roof eves,maybe install another vent in the area and re-plaster wall/walls or ceilings then seal with mold resistant paint 👍👍👍
Exactly. The first step of any mold remediation job should be to not listen to a single thing this video says to do because it's completely wrong in every way. One of the worst videos I've ever seen about treating mold... Holy moly
You still manage to look debonaire even while killing household mold! Love your videos.
haha thank you :)
Debonair? He's wearing an awful shirt with a tiny collar, and the top button is buttoned, just screaming for a necktie or bowtie to arrive. That's "debonair"?
usernamemykel you obviously don't know what debonaire means... It's not about what you wear, but rather how you carry yourself.
Debonaire: courteous, gracious, cheerful, having a sophisticated charm.
So he can still be dressed in such a way that is not deemed ”good looking” and still be debonaire. This would be due to that fact that being debonaire is more of a character/personality trait than what you wear.
But is he offering truly helpful advice about mold mitigation? The answer is no. Mold needs to be assessed and mitigated by specialists - not some random guy offering highly questionable advice. This is a band-aid fix that could actually be more harmful than helpful because what mold you actually see can often be just the tip of the iceberg. If not handled in a timely fashion, mold can continue to grow and cause much worse problems further down the line.
I would have used the word 'camp'.
Simple household bleach will do the same if not better..spray onto mold from a spray bottle leave for 30mins then wipe off with damp cloth..job done!
This was such a helpful video! But you also made it quite entertaining and funny to watch. All the other videos on mould had me falling asleep! Thanks for all the tips!
Thanks so much! Good luck with yours :)
Oh my god you’re my favourite, I just came across this video thinking it was a really professional educational video and you’re wiping the mould off with a blue sock 😭😂😂😂
My family still doesnt believe that its the mold on my walls that made me sick for once or twice a month for 3 years. Luckily i found out that its mold and not dirt on the walls and removed it with bleach. After another 3 years now, it is still growing and I have to maintain it. I just tried white vinegar instead of bleach and it doesn't work.
You have to rip out that drywall. It keeps growing because it's in between drywall and beams and outside chipboard.
Alexis Bunce it is cement solid wall
Hey do u still get sick because of the mold ?
@@glowNINE particles from the mold can get into your lungs and cause breathing illnesses.
i think it's given me chronic fatigue syndrome lol
I have all four products to tackle condensation mould in bedroom tomorrow! Tip video thanks! ✨
Hi how did it work out?
I’m glad I came across your video as we have a similar problem I must get some of those sprays . I think I will wear a mask as you really should have. Thank you for a very informative video 👍
Very informative. By the way how is the treatment went on after all these 4 years. If possible, please update with a follow up video. Thank you.
It came back worse than before and he now has a respiratory condition
I've got this problem so bad in my bathroom. And I'm dedicating my day off this week as "attack the mould day" so I will use some of these tips and look out for these products. Thank you for sharing xx
Thank you Amy! I’ve done another video on bathroom mould & another to minimise condensation in your home which both might help too! Good luck!! :)
;÷'
How did it work out?
Before ya’ll kill that mould ya’ll have to figure out where the humidity is coming from and get that fix first
Did the mould come back?
Mr Carrington please give us an update on this mould issue. Would love to see how these products worked for you.
Great glove trick. Watched a lot of youtube vids (as I'm sure you recognize) and nobody has ever mentioned this. Very original!!!
Glove trick is great. But I would throw Any brush away after using on mold. Great trick though. Has saved me time and money over the years.
Also, you can use diy lukewarm water spray with 2 tbsp bicarbonated sodand 1 tbsp or 2, of white or apple cider vinegar, it works a lot
There is a powerful mold remover spray which I used today, it is so effective. disappeared in 5 minutes without me having to even scrub the wall.
What is the name of it?
What’s the name

Can you use the same products to cover water marks??
Hi love you I’m sort your life out show!! Any tips on cleaning mould off upvc window - I have done the window frames but spores are really stuck in there above windows but still on plastic
Also mould on skirting boards
Thank you !!!
I love the glove tip. Could you give an update of the wall please Mr Carrington.
Hello Margaret! Yes of course. The wall is in good shape. No sign of the mould returning :)
I use contractors grade x14. It is bleach but much stronger than household bleach. Spray it on and mold disappears before your eyes. Warm soapy water after and your done. If you have staining i use Kilz stain blocker. Then the paint you actually painted the wall with to match the existing color.
very entertaining, you had me in stitches so many times. Keep up the good work
My apartment has mostly gray mold all over the walls and ceilings and it was due to me being away from the apartment for a few months. I had my windows closed but had a ceiling fan on but it wasn't on high. I'm located in a very humid area. Will Zinnser primer work getting rid of the mold? I have used vinegar to try to get rid of the mold... spray it on wall and ceiling and wait an hour before scrubbing it with a bristle brush. In the areas with a good amount of gray mold, I was able to remove maybe 50% of it. It would then always come back. However, the big areas with a lot of gray mold which is throughout 2 rooms... I barely removed anything at all. Would this mold killing primer be all I need to remove the mold? So I just paint over the ceilings and walls and that is it? I have a ton of mold in these 2 rooms... apartment is just these 2 rooms. I heard you first need to kill the mold first... so that would mean spray vinegar on every ceiling and wall area with gray mold... then scrub all the areas... and even though the gray mold is still clearly visible... you then wait maybe an hour before you go and paint the wall and ceiling with this? The thing is I have a lot of gray mold throughout the ceiling and wall in one room... the other room it's mostly on the walls. The wall and ceiling is cinderblock or possibly concrete I believe. Can you give advice on this?
What type of wall were you working with, drywall, wood, or cement? I have humidity and mold problems on cement walls.
we also have mold on a cement wall :S
Wow your mold is baby mold compared to my house 😅
I had it on my nbathrrom ceiling... I tried killing off the black mould with white vinegar then painter over with zinsser bin I kept the area dry whilst doing so but a week later the paint starting falling off my ceiling, I'm mad as hell not looking forward to doing the job again and prayyyying I can get rid of it this time
thanks for the video but as far as I know, the extra layer of paint that you put under the finish layer isn't going to stop the mold by any means. Because the main reason for the mold to build up in the first place, as you said, is the moisture coming from inside the wall and that needs to be fixed from the other side
The pipe was fixed 👍
@@MrCarrington nice. I live in a very humid and somewhat cold/cool area and I have mold all over my apartment. A few days ago, I realized they are probably the main reason why my nasal allergies have gotten so worse over the years.
I'm going to clean that shit up this weekend. :)
Looking for how to deal with mould and came across this video by chance, you look so different!!
Good advice as usual 👍
Check out an Irish company called Proud Paints, their paint is supposed
to have a 20 year guarantee that no mould will come through & it's suppose to kill it too, check them out
@@alrockman2131 great thanks, will give it a go! Mould spray, bleach, bicarbonate of soda all didn’t work.
@@ElibelDublin it says on their Website use the wash spray first then the paint, people have sent me msgs on Facebook about using it for 3/4 years and mould still hasn't come back, even the info on their website looks promising,
@@ElibelDublin where ya from by the way
If you didn't wash the sock, that might be the reason. I generally try to wash every textile piece I plan on using, either on myself, or for cleaning, if it's store-bought. Yes, I wash all new clothes.
You have a great voice and take over David Attenborough job 😂
I tried all types of zinsser but mould eventually came through again, found an Irish company called Proud Paints and it's amazing paint, they even give a 20 year guarantee that mould won't return, I painted it over a year ago and no mould yet
@alrockman9817 … would you recommend the Proud Paints … I have a bad mould mildew issue in an old house and I need to do some interim solutions … was going to go with Zinsser until I read this comment. Have found the proud paints website so was going to go with them ? Thanking you
How can I identify mould when my wall is painted deep blue? I have this huge splotch of grayish white stuff that just doesn't go away no matter how i clean it or keep my room ventilated, and I'm not sure if it's dusts or mould .
Very good video, but please wear a mask when using chemicals and removing fungi or bacteria (even though you mentioned the mask), because people will try to do this w/o a mask and possibly end up with SERIOUS upper respiratory problems.
I have a pair of converse that have had orange mold stains on them for years. How can I get them off?
So the mould didn’t come back at all?
To be honest i used washingnup liquid lol work great :)))its located in my pouch erea witch get cold and damp so now i leave door open and the house warms it up no more damp :)))
Hello Mr. Carrington.
We have a condensation mould problem in our kitchen, up in the corner of the room, on the wall, and would rather 'do it ourselves', than pay a fortune for someone to come in and do the job.
*BUT* ....
Can you tell me, all this time later than when you originally posted the video, *do you have any mould re-occurrence at all, in that area, please* ?
We can't afford to make an expensive mistake by buying products that will turn out not to do the job, *so am asking for an honest update on the mould in the corner of your room* .
Many thanks in advance ~ Cobs.
It hasn’t come back (also kept that area well ventilated).
@@MrCarrington Many thanks for the reply and so speedy a reply too! That's confirmed it.... we're ordering all the sprays and paint and we'll do everything exactly the way you did your problem.
Many thanks for your help and ... *keep up the great work* !!!
Regards ~ Cobs. x
Look, the most natural and cheapest way to get rid of mould mildews and humid is buy bags of activated charcoal from amazon, free delivery too....
I want to remove the mold from my popcorn ceiling on my bathroom I don't want to damage it, is this product is wip free
hey there, curious as to how the products have worked over the last 2.5 yrs since you made this vid. Has it actually prevented regrowth of the mold?
Nothing came back. I also moved a piece of furniture away from that corner so it stays ventilated
@@MrCarrington great, thank you for the info! :-)
@@MrCarrington hello, I have condensation mould on the wall and on the ceiling but it’s only in 1 room and not in any other room
How about vinegar
Very helpful video . Thanks
Good video. Thanks
Have condensation mould in one room only how should I remove it
Can I use bleach to clean before I use the mold spray?
Situation is such-:
- The wall is near to the bed and the bed sheets and pillow and cover falls on the wall and its discolour or make the colourful wall as black. How to remove the mould from wall as it looks bad.
- If wash with soap its discolouring the wall and we cannot colour it again and again.
Thankyou.
HG Mould Spray
@@jsarratt1 yup tats why i am using that.
Thanks for a great informative video delivered with honesty and humour x
many thanks mr carrington a excellent video and fantastic presentation im going to try this for my bedroom and kitchen thanks again all the best
Thank you, this is helpful.
You're welcome Hanna! :)
3D mould😁. Thanks so much, you have just reminded me to get from the sofa and go and clean my bathroom ceiling, but only after I have finished watching your vlog.
Cheers for this! Do you not need to remove any paint after the mould spray? Or wouldnt it appear thicker then. Also wondering what changes would I have to make to do this for a ceiling? I.e. to prevent the paint dripping off? Thanks
zahir2k check the other side of the wall or ceiling if possible he doesn’t speak about it but that mold is coming from somewhere most likely inside the wall there could be a lot more on the other side often people think they got it all but they leave a bunch of mold only to keep growing. I’ve done mold repair in homes and it can be plenty of places we can’t see unless the walls, floors or ceilings are opened up to inspect. One more thing once mold gets in drywall it’s best to replace it never really can get it all if it’s gotten bad. Cheers
CaseHeads G Thanks! Do you know how to get mold out of cement walls and the floor area touching the walls in a basement? As well as proper duct and air cleaning
The floor is cement as well without a finish and one open drain in each of the three basement rooms
This is the latest primer that is more ideal for treating mold in 2022 : Zinsser Rust-Oleum 276087 Mold Killing Primer Quart White 32 Fl Oz2022
There is a heavy mould on my ceiling n wall right infront of the ac duct in my bedroom, n im hating it
Are dehumifers worth using and do they kill mold already in a room or do they just stop new mold appearing also is salt effective and ok to use in dehumifer that has Crystal's in top of dehumifer when Crystal's have run out I have mold in my bedroom and I use dehumifers and I dont wanna have to keep buying more dehumifers
Hi, dehumidifiers don’t kill mold they reduce moisture in the air. I’m not sure about salt or crystals I’m afraid.
@@MrCarrington what are dehumifers used for I'm confused sorry about what they are used for so do they stop new mold appearing
@@taramiller70 Dehumidifiers are used to reduce the amount of moisture, (humidity) in your home. Mould needs higher levels of humidity to grow and spread, so although dehumidifiers don't generally kill mould, (although some can kill mould spores in the air which is a good thing), they do greatly reduce the moist conditions that mould likes to grow in and therefore help to prevent or reduce mould growth. I hope that helps.
@@juddery thanks that helped so If I continue using dehumifers they will stop mold I'm confused my mum said they dont work is she right or wrong
@@taramiller70 Dehumidifiers can certainly help in the battle to prevent mould, but they don't generally actually kill mould and as with many things, how much it helps, greatly depends on various factors. What is causing high humidity in your home, (is it condensation or a leak for example), whether there is a much larger mould problem in your walls, floors, ceilings etc., that can't be reached, how good the dehumidifier is, (some are total rubbish and not worth bothering with, while others are extremely good at removing moisture from your house) and also if the dehumidifier if powerful enough for either your size of home or the amount of humidity if you have quite a lot. I'd say that your Mum is probably both right and wrong, depending on all of those factors combined and the specific use case. For example, if you have a lot of moisture/ damp in your home, then expecting a small, low powered dehumidifier to make any difference, is probably going to end in disappointment. Generally speaking, if you're thinking of buying any product, including a dehumidifier, do plenty of research on what is available, read or watch reviews on each product and get the best one you can afford, while making an informed choice. It's important to realise though, that a dehumidifier on it's own, won't get rid of existing mould, but by lowering the amount of humidity in your home, it can definitely help to prevent it coming back, but you have to have one that is capable of doing a good enough job for your specific situation.
Are you related to Jordi El Nino Pola by some chance?
Mr C, the question about the clip is…..did the mould grow back???!!! Laura x
No :)
Good news! Guess what I’m buying this week? Thanks for taking the time to reply, be safe, Laura x
thank you great vid
Did it come back?
Did it work? Can you do an update video on this?
It worked! :) nothing to update really, it’s all good now
Is repainting it 100% necessary???? Thanks
You might get away with just cleaning it off :)
Thanks
Oh good lord! You look about age 15 😱 good skin care pays off 😉
There is a moisture scource behind the wall.
Thank you kindly friend
Hello #MrCarrington - I think i have some mold on my surface ceiling and it is pretty much. I am dedicating my weekend to remove this however, i would like to know, how you know if there is something behind it? I mean if you clean the one on the surface and there are something behind the wall/surface, will it still come back? Spread?
Regards, Daniel.
Possibly but mine didn't return so if you can kill it first then paint over hopefully it won't return if you keep the space well ventilated. Best of luck :)
Daniel Pedersen best to open up the area and look on other side and if there’s mold and it’s went thur the drywall best to replace the drywall very hard to get it all out of drywall once it’s there. Cheers
Iv got abit of mold it's come off but left my ceiling all marked and dirty having to scrub it drives me mad 😂😂
If this is the first time you're using these products though....we'll never KNOW if it stops it from coming back :( You're nice though...really sweet.
#MrCarrington These Are Great Cleaning Tips For Mold Excellent !
Dwight Slemmons thank you so much!
Hate to break it to you... but you probably have much much more on the backside of that surgace
Do you know how to get rid of it?
Seems like it due to how spread out it is.
@@LadyFourteen you cut that area out.
Hi how do i get rid of mold from wallpaper? I recently had the children's bedroom decorated and had applied insulated underlined paper before applying normal paper over it. Recently i noticed small black marks are appearing
I’ve not experience that but try wiping the surface to see if it comes off and ventilating the room. It sounds like the wall isn’t breathing so extra ventilation might be needed. Hope that helps
Hope that worked
Jordi?
Hi.....Can we have an update if these products work thanks
You broke the mold!
meganjerai haha brilliant!
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Mask, gloves, protective clothing, etc... Especially working with toxic chemicals and toxic mold. Make sure you dont touch everything around you, cross contamination!!! From the wall to gloves, to your mouth when coughing, your tools, clothes, pets, drinking cup....
I blame the building industry where starting without proper insulation on the ground leads to higher humidity inside the bricks, walls etc...not the condensation related to a human factor, thats a bull ...., so landlords do not have to spend their precious money for innovations. But feel sorry for them anyway.. ..ask other builders inside Europe.
Will Apple Cider Vinegar help?
Scrape it first nope you spread it, not wearing a mask not smart.Should have used the mold spray first and left it to dry naturally so it could kill the mold.then used the paint.I like many of your vids, but the first part isnt advisable.
Omg that's just the tip of the mold berg. That's less than .05%
❤❤❤👍
Don’t forget to Wear a mask
Haha you funny yup👍😊but you do cover things I like💯
Mold can be a very serious issue and needs to be examined
and mitigated by specialists - not some random guy who
obviously does not know what he is doing.
This man is not doing anyone a favor by offering his band-aid fix.
What one SEES can be the tip of the iceberg. It’s not to be taken lightly.
There are much better videos on TH-cam on this subject, posted by specialists.
I appreciate it can be, however it can also be a surface issue due to lack of ventilation. I am not a specialist but since doing my fix it has not returned after 2 years. Thank you for watching :)
Some people need "band-aid" fixes because their landlords don't give a fuck, and they can't afford and/or aren't allowed to hire a pro.
Damn bro you r mfuckin PRO💯
this not work, stop mold in a wall is not as simple like this.
It stops surface mold. Never said it stops inside the wall.
I was cringing the whole time where’s the face mask and the glasses for the eyes? You need to use a face mask and gloves specifically for the mold. You could get sick and have respiratory problems or health issues permanently for being negligent dealing with mold is no joke ! And after that you throw everything away ! You also need to disinfect the floors after dealing with mold !
Can you make some more plant videos.
And if you're like us your whole house isfull of mold this paint is £80+ per tin ...it won't stop mold coming back as the mold stays in the brick in the wall so your so wrong
you need to wear mask...and gloves!!!
Why so many adds oh yeah greed
Why for the love of God use a chisel and not a cheap as$ scraper?
NOT A GOOD IDEA SERIOUSLY?
you cannot kill mold by painting over it and this is an irresponsible thing to tell people. You have to remove the source of moisture and water intrusion and remove affected things like drywall and killing mold does NOT make it non toxic and non allergenic. Sad
No mask no goggles no brains bye….
