Mold (not mould) is usually caused by inadequate ventilation.

Dettol mould very good for that. You just spray it in a closed from air bedroom , leave it and you don’t need to scrubbed it even. A bit of smell of bleach, but going away quickly

Hi

I would wash off the mould with bleach, then unibond the wall, then paint over. Moving forward make sure you open your windows during the day, this should stop the condensation and mould growing.

Good luck

The anti mould products are just bleach in a spray bottle.   I use an old bottle and refill with bleach whenever I notice a spot....

"Mould" is correct, not mold.(See the Dettol bottle). Please stand corrected
