Prevent Mold in Your Bathroom
Your bathroom is the perfect breeding ground for mold to grow. A room that holds moisture and heat, it provides just the right conditions. Simply taking a shower or bath creates moisture for mold to thrive in. Fortunately we can help you to prevent mold from growing in your bathroom.
Tips to Prevent Mold
- Open a window or run your bathroom fan after taking a bath or shower. Do this for a minimum of 30 minutes. This will create enough ventilation so that moisture is reduced.
- Get rid of hiding places for mold such as cloth shower curtains, wallpaper and damp bathroom rugs. Make sure to dry out rugs after use and wash them often.
- If you have a shower door, keep it open after taking a shower to help it dry.
- Clean your bathroom daily with a cleaner that contains bleach, it doesn’t have to be extensive cleaning every day but just a simple wipe down.
- Keep your bathroom as light as possible. Keep your blinds up as much as possible. Mold loves the dark so keep your bathroom bright!
- Keep your bathroom towels hung up, resist throwing them on the floor after your shower. Keeping them dry will prevent mold.
