  3. Using a spray bottle with your choice of cleaning solution, apply the cleaning solution directly to the mould affected ceiling and allow the solution to sit for 5-10 minutes. 
  4. Using your microfibre cloth, gently scrub the mould off of the surface applying more of your cleaning solution as required.
