Mildew all over plywood walls

[DC5]

Hi all just revisiting this as we are about to put insulation in, trying to decide what to do - worried that putting any product on degrades the glue in the ply?! Not sure what to do!

A very light spray of bleach will kill the mould but be barely wet, and so just dry off within minutes.

The difficulty is finding a household spray with bleach , but they exist. You have to look at the small print. Dire warnings on the back are the easy clue.

I make my own. You can get thin bleach from Amazon if you can't find it in supermarkets. Dilute at least 50/50 with water. You can spray it with a garden watering sprayer (eg Pump type Hoselock) but it will damage the sprayer over time if you leave it in the sprayer and don't rinse it out.  

 

Think I would spray and then roller it with a paint roller to get even cover and dry off any runs. Plenty of ventilation to let it dry out.
