Porch Ceiling......

Mold......ugh!!!!


Cleaned with bleach water......


Whole porch done!!!


For the first time in six years, the ceiling to the front porch decided to get covered in mold.   The thought of cleaning it was just making me crazy.  Chuck had seen on TV some stuff that said..." wet it and forget it".  So off to Home Depot I go.  There is was....a bottle that would make 2 gallons by adding water....for $16.99!!!!!!  Well, I bought it, thinking all I was going to have to do was spray it on the ceiling and it would magically make the ceiling all nice and clean again.  Wrong!!!!  I sprayed it on and nothing at all happened.  I sprayed it again and nothing happened.  Chuck reads on the label in small print that it could take up to a month for it to work.  WHAT??????  Who wants to wait a month to see if it was going to work???????  When I clean, I want it clean NOW!  So, I waited a week and then dug out the sprayer, the bleach and the sponge on a the long handle out from the basement. I put on my old clothes that I paint in, a bandana on my head, a surgical mask and a pair of safety glasses.  Just spraying the bleach water took most of  the mold off but I had to go back and dip the sponge in the bleach water and wipe the whole ceiling down.  TA DA!!!  A pretty blue ceiling again.  I just hope it takes another six years before the mold comes back and I have to go through all that again.  The moral to this story is.....nothing takes care of mold but good ole BLEACH!! Don't waste your money on anything else.
