How do I clean mould off a wall before painting?

I’m looking for advice on how to clean the walls from the mould before painting and then what paint or paint additive to use to prevent the mould occurrence.

Our Recommendation:

  1. To remove the mould we recommend Fluxaf Mould & Mildew Stain Remover. This is a spray that you leave on the surface for 5 minutes and then wipe the mould clean.
  2. Follow with two coats of our Ray’s Primer.  This paint is a shellac-based primer with excellent blocking & sealing properties. It’s available in 500ml, 1L, 2.5L and 5L sizes.
  3. We also stock an anti-mould solution for adding into paint called VC175. One bottle can be added to up to 10 litres of paint.
