I think what you are doing is good as any. Only thing I can think of doing proactively is using the same mop to wipe ceiling occasionally with weak solution of bleach water and alow to air dry. Wiping remove's dirt necessary for mold growth and the tiny amount of bleach left behind make's the surface inhospitable for mold. Doing this when ceiling is already damp from condensation make's job go faster.

Thank you klem, appreciate your follow-up. I used a comb of 409 and mold & mildew killer w bleach. After cleaning, I had to go back w a diff lightly dampened sponge mop and wipe off the residual. I still could not get into the individual grooves which still has some mold in them, but 99% of the planks have all been thoroughly cleaned. It took me 4-5 hrs of tough angle cleaning. I am going to have to find a better way to do this or more importantly, prevent it ??

Thanks for everyone's suggestions and help - tstex

Call or email the support line of clear coat manufactures to ask if (A) any of their products contain mildew inhabitor and (B) if such additives can be added to clear coat before application. Paints containing mildewcides are available from most all brands but I'm not sure about clears.

will do -thanks klem - ill post back what I find

Excellent. Meanwhile,can you folks around Houston help us North Texans settle a debate over "Row vs Wade"? We had 12" of rain in Sept which is 10" above average and so far Oct is looking like it might be even wetter.

Really glad to hear of the excessivie rains to recharge the aquifers, fill the lakes and reserviors, rejuvinate the wildlife, provide good deep soil moisture and settles the dust and elimiates the fear of extended drought time. Droughts are really stressful and usually always prolonged over the anticipated recovery time. Re R vs W, I am told not to take another life...it's pretty clear to me.
