Do you ever get mold in your shower grout? Or do you smell something musty when you walk into your bathroom? Bathrooms are notorious for providing the perfect environment for mold. Mold is not something to be taken lightly. It can greatly impact your health. There are some simple steps to help prevent mold.
For one thing, make sure your bathroom exhaust fan works well. This will remove the moisture from the air and release it outside.
Regularly wash your towels, bathmats, and shower curtains, as mold spores like to grow on these damp items. Also, allow clothing items to air-dry a bit before throwing them in your hamper. Do you have a leaky pipe? Clean up spills, and fix the leak as soon as possible.
Clean your bathtub or shower on a regular basis. If you have shower grout, scrub that with a natural agent, such as vinegar, or a mold-cleaning chemical. You can also make good use of a squeegee after showers to get off excess water from the walls. It’s better to prevent mold growth than have to deal with fighting it later.
