    A little bit of clove oil in water is pretty good to get rid of mould. I'm sure if you google you'll find the correct proportions.

    The other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".

    Mould not the only problem in this thread.

    M is for mould....M is for moisture. No moisture...no mould. So simple.....even a mould could understand it.

    qld,
    dont listen to all those others. Leave the lights on all day and all night, it wil do nothing to inhibit the growth of the mould, but it will keep me in a job
    I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

    I beg to differ with the flaming.

    I would suggest that it is only the method in doubt; the theory is fine.

    What he is suggesting does work in confined spaces.

    Living in a QLD type humid climate some years ago left shoes, leather coats etc in the cupboard covered in a grey film of mould. Installing low wattage lights behind covers at the bottom eradicated the problem.

    Kiwigeo is correct, in that you must dehumidify. However, by slightly raising the temp in an enclosed space, you reduce the RH, which has a similar effect. It also induces air circulation, which helps.

    Doubt if it will have any measurable effect in an open room, though.

    But then I doubt that one of the dehumidifying absorbers would work either?

    Answer would need to be a dehumidifying air conditioner, I would say.

    I got some desk lamps pointed a few inches from the wall in some particular trouble spots. What do you think about that

    I think thats fine, It will stop the paint from yellowing and as the heat creates drying and air movement it will help stop mould. pitty that the method used is the most wasteful. But if thats your thing, go for it.
