Eliminate Mold-Causing Moisture from Your Bathroom
No matter where you live, high moisture in your bathroom makes mold difficult to control. Eliminate moisture by taking these steps:
- First, after a bath or a shower, squeegee water off the shower walls. That eliminates at least three-fourths of the moisture that supports mold and mildew growth.
- Second, run your fans during your shower and for a half hour after.
- Third, seal grout lines annually with a standard grout sealer.
To get rid of current mold, scrub with detergent and water, then let the surface dry completely. Or use a solution of 10% bleach and 90% water (a stronger bleach solution will not give better results).
If the fans aren't clearing out most of the moisture after 10 minutes, your fans may not be moving enough air. Ask an electrician for the right fan for your size of bathroom. Call us if you need the name of a good electrician to help you buy and install the right fan!
