Do you have an exhaust fan?
I don't
This is a paint KILZ. This covers the mildew and will prevent the return.
I've seen Kilz and other sealers that are labeled to prevent mildew. Increase you air circulation to remove humidity, too.
Thank you. I will look for that.
Install an exhaust fan. Vinegar will kill the mold spores. You need to clean, prime then paint.

You never ever "paint over" mold or mildew.
Hi Cathy - Not addressing your question specifically, but if you have mildew due to moisture in the bathroom, you are opening up yourself to mold. This article focuses on the bathroom, but is an overall great article that covers methods of how to remove mold, if bleach is safe to use, and how to prevent it from coming back. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
