mine, in th bathroom, has gone a little mouldy and off coulour. what is the best way to sort this out. bleach? soapy water? please advise, thanks.

Take it all out, it is so naff and a fire hazard and gives off noxious fumes when burning!! If you really feel the need to keep it just wash it with sugar soap and re-paint it!!

yeah, thing is, i think its holding the ceiling up!!

Paint it with "Kitchen and Bathroom" Paint

As Ratter 15 suggested take it out. We had some in a few rooms when we recently moved. A good plasterer will replace it with kosher stuff which does not take too long and is not too expensive.

Nicer to look at as well.
