Do you know what paint can mold?

2 Answers

Any paint or painted surface can ‘mold’ or grow mold/ mildew in certain conditions. A can of Latex paint, sealed properly and kept in cool, dry conditions should last for up to ten years. Once a container of paint has been opened, however, bacteria and mold can multiply much more easily.

Painting over mold may cover up the dark patches where the mold is growing, but it will not eliminate the problem. Mold is a fungus that will thrive where there's enough moisture to encourage its growth. .
