Experiences with anti-microbial paint in high-humidity areas: Successes and failures

I’ve been experimenting with natural ventilation strategies alongside using BioShield Clay Paint in my bathroom. Keeping the window open for a few hours a day and using a fan has surprisingly kept the humidity levels down. The paint has been holding up well, and the room feels more comfortable.

That’s great to hear about EcoGuard working well in your basement. I’ve been considering it for my bathroom but was worried about the humidity. Did you apply any special primer or just went straight with the paint? Also, how often do you run the dehumidifier?

Interesting! I tried a different brand, GreenShield Anti-Microbial Paint, in my kitchen. It worked okay for a while, but after about a year, I started noticing some mold spots in the corners. Maybe it’s the ventilation or perhaps the paint’s effectiveness wears off over time. I’m curious if EcoGuard has any long-term guarantees or if it’s just a matter of time before mold appears.

I’ve been using EcoGuard in my laundry room for about a year now, and it’s been holding up pretty well against the moisture. I didn’t use any special primer, just made sure the walls were clean and dry before painting. I also keep a small fan running to improve air circulation, which seems to help. Has anyone tried combining these paints with natural ventilation techniques, like cross-ventilation, to see if it enhances the anti-mold effect?
