What is the best way to dry out our attic. While putting away Christmas deco I noticed black mold on the ceiling. We don't have the money to pay a professional to get rid of it. And with the cold weather it isn't drying. We stopped using the bathroom vent which put the moisture in the attic in the first place. I just need some info on how to get it completely dry before we start to get rid of the mold. The bathroom vent is now going blowing outside..this is a big mess no leaks from the roof just from the moisture from the fan.

If you can get to it, try spaying it down with a diluted bleach solution. Then see if the dry winter weather kills it off.
You may have already removed its source of moisture and depending on how much there is it may die off on its own.
You should check it periodically to make sure it doesn't get any bigger.
Happy Sunday!
