Clean with a mold and mildew remover like Jomax House Cleaner and Mildew Killer by Zinsser. Since it's a bedroom you definitely don't want to take chances. Prime with Kilz Original, it's oil based but is so much better for something like this. Then paint with a ceiling paint.
Hi Patricia - So sorry to hear about your home. There are several ways to get rid of mold, but most importantly, you need to address the root cause to keep it from returning. 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
