Taking a week off to do some "Spring cleaning" at my mum's house.
Due to the cold and long winter, the kitchen window was kept shut and the extractor fan (on the window) is crap, the walls (wallpapered and painted over by housing association) and kitchen cabinet doors has a build up of cooking smoke/steam/grease stains from the cooker (no extractor hood).
What should I do...
Paint over the stains or "wash" over the stains with a vinegar/water solution and then paint over?
Exactly the same thing in the bathroom, window kept shut and a crappy extractor fan (on the window), half the wall is wallpapered (other half is tiled) and painted over, there are signs of mould - black spots near the window and ceiling due to condensation build up. Also the radiator was painted over 10 years ago but now the coat of paint is cracking up/peeling.
What should I do...
Wipe down walls/ceiling with some disinfectant and then paint over? Paint over the radiator?
Also what paint should I use as both rooms still gets a lot of moisture even with the window open.
Thanks
