If there is wallpaper and it is seeping through the wallpaper. Do I have to remove the wallpaper & kill the mold then get new wallpaper? How do you kill mold on the wall?
mold can be a very serious and dangerous problem in your home. if you don’t have an exhaust fan in your bathroom this could be the problem, but you do need to find out the cause of the mold otherwise it will be back no mater what you do. at the very least you need to cut a hole in the wall (about hand size) and look at the back of the piece of drywall that you cut out, then with a small mirror and flashlight look inside the wall for signs of mold or mildew. you should wear gloves and a dust mask when you do this. some forms of household mold are very dangerous and sometimes deadly to humans. what your inspection reveals will determine how to fix it. if you need more info at that point feel free to e-mail me and i will answer your questions.

If it is coming through the wallpaper then it is already through the sheetrock. You are going to need to take off the sheetrock and clean the inside of the wall with 1/2 and 1/2 soluton of bleach and water or 2tsp tea tree oil (Wal-Mart Pharmacy) in 12 oz water, or 1tsp neem oil in 1 cup water. Spray liberally, wipe down with paper towels, let air dry then put up new sheetrock.
If you have that serious a mold problem in the wall then you have a leak and that needs to fixed before you can fix the mold issue.References :

Yes, you must remove the wallpaper to kill the mold. Then use a paint with mildewcide instead of wallpaper after you kill the mold. Use a mixture of 1 cup bleach to 1/2 gallon of water to kill the mold. Leave it on the wall untill mold is gone, then respray and wipe down. Use the bleach water solution once a week to keep mold out. Wallpaper is a breeding ground for mold. Good luck!References :
