Review on 🎨 RUST-OLEUM 02754 White Perma Interior Paint: Long-lasting 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) by William Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked great for mold in a wet bathroom.

We had a serious mold problem in one of our bathrooms that had been painted a non-gloss eggshell paint by the previous owner. Unfortunately, the ventilation in this bathroom doesn't work well and there is a lot of steam on the walls and ceiling after a shower. We tried spraying with vinegar and water and then bleach and water mixtures and scrubbing the mold off, but it left unsightly stains and eventually the mold grew back. After looking at online reviews, we purchased Zinsser Perma-White Mold and Mildew Resistant Interior Paint. We first sprayed a bleach/water solution on the existing mold to kill it and wiped it off with a sponge. (I read that you can skip this step). Then, after the bleach and water mixture dried, we painted over it with Perma-White. We applied an extra coat after the first coat was dry just to keep everything even. We had no problem painting the ceiling - the paint lays flat and the small volume was perfect for our bathroom (only about 60 square feet). It's been 3 months and still no sign of mold (we're in the middle of summer, very hot and muggy). Normally now would be very bad. We are very happy with the purchase.
