For me, you need to be really wary of the speed at which you do this job. If its left too long, this could take quite a while and it could exasperate the issue. If you don't act with sufficient haste, moisture could get into your furnishings and mean you'd have to replace them (at great expense! I h...

I had a similar problem with beige and brown coloured walls but wasnt allowed to repaint as they matched my wifes best pillows and curtains so we were stuck with decor like the set of a biscuit advert. I cant wait to break the eggshell out ASAP!

Im not sure you can avoid that. My missus managed to get a few patches of dye on our mattress topper and wooden bed frame, and neither stain would come off for love for money. If your door has been treated previous, you could have some luck with some sugar soap but I wouldnt hold your breath

This definitely sounds like mould to be, bit too much moisture in the air. Moving the bed could help but remember to check your furnishing.

You're telling me pal. Had a nightmare when I was double coating my bedrooms in my house. The stuff reeked and clung to everything. I had to toss out the best memory foam mattress money could buy because the smell was choking me and the missus at night. I wont be making that mistake again

This sounds to me like your painter has used brushes, rollers etc which he's previously used on woodwork and not treated the brushes adequately, meaning that the gloss get painted in with the emulsion, creating the pungent smell that hangs before. I managed to do that in my bedroom and my missus cou...
