    Painting cement block shower
    How do I clean and repaint a cement block shower that is used daily. It has mildew
    And the paint is chipping off. Also, what kind of paint should I use. Thank you.

    1. Use a spray bottle to spray bleach on the mold/mildew to kill it.
    2. Use a wire brush to scrub it all down best you can. You'll want to put a lot of elbow grease into it to get it scraped well.
    3. Use a high quality exterior masonry paint on the cement block.

    Never, ever put bleach in a spray bottle. It will knock you out with fumes. Been there, done that.

    Pouring it doesn't hurt? This post is 7 years old.
