How do you keep your bathroom walls from getting moldy?

Our bathroom was redone fairly recently (within the last 5 years) and the ceiling and tops of the walls are spotted with mold! Ewww! I don't recall that happening before, at least not to this degree. How can I get rid of it? And how can I prevent it? Is there a certain paint or a certain type of drywall that prevents this sort of thing from happening?|||Bleach will remove it and deter it coming back. Next time you repaint use a special bathroom paint. If possible install an extractor fan and ventilate, ventilate, ventilate.|||First, place vinegar in a spray bottle and spray directly on the mold. Wait a few minutes and then wipe off- the mold should wipe off with it. I chose vinegar because it is non-toxic, cheaper, and is not harsh like bleach (meaning your clothes will not suffer from bleach stains). Lowe's Home Improvement store will assist you in finding a fungicidal/mold resistant paint. This paint can be clear or colored. If you have an exhaust fan, it will remove excess humidity thus preventing mold. Ventilation is crucial so that mold will not have the ability to grow (also, shorter and cooler showers).|||Clean it with a product first and then from now on - whenever you take a shower, etc Dry The Walls. All that water? It wears them down, water always erodes. My family invested in a "Squegee" you can purchase all sizes of these at Lowes, Home Depot, etc and squegee the excess water off your tiles.|||There is a special product that you can buy that you spray on you wall to get rid of the mold. You can buy it at Lowes, Menards, or Home Depot.|||A 50/50 mixture of bleach and water will kill and remove existing mold. You need more airflow in this room. Moisture breeds mold.
