  • Use TSP, that will take care of everything. Let dry thoroughly before you prime.

    Be sure you address the issue of the mold before painting. Mold is caused from darkness and moisture - is there a leak? Also, use Kilz primer after you clean it up before painting.

    Use TSP following the directions for paint prep.

    Buy a sponge mop and use it on the ceiling. This will save your back and neck from misery. You will have to go back over with cloth but only a light quick wipe down after the mop.
