5 Simple Solutions to Mold Prevention
Mold is often a problem in bathroom because the space is small and not always well- ventilated. You can reduce mold in this room by:
- Keeping a window open while showering or bathing.
- Installing a properly sized ventilation fan that will remove moist air, dry our your bathroom, and prevent mold growth. New fans can typically operate continuously and quietly while using less energy.
- Replacing your old shower curtain liners, as they can attract streaks of mildew and can be difficult to clean. As soon as you notice your old liner starting to droop and mold, replace it with a new one.
- Sealing air and water leaks with caulk or expanding foam.
- Purchasing a “daily shower spray” that will help keep mold and soap scum at bay. But a word of caution: They are usually gentler than heavy-duty shower cleaners, but can sometimes still be hazardous to children. So, just to be safe, keep all chemicals out of their reach.
