I worked well and very fast, restoring the ceiling to new condition. Condensation is collected in the fuzzy stuff, creating a great environment for the mildew. After trying several different methods, I have settled for the simpleist one. A solution of half bleach, delivered onto with a small size of roller. You can cover the area under with a sheat of nylon but there is not much of dripping if its done sensibly. The roller must roll or be in the container. You will need about a quart of solution. Try to stay away from metals. Try to stay away from metals. Zoltan
