5 Tips To Help Prevent Mold And Mildew From Tarnishing Your Bathroom Walls

  1. Structural issues can be a major factor that is triggering the spread of mold. The first places to check would be window and floor seals. It is also important to seal tiles properly. Your unique designs will be rudely interrupted if mold crops up in between them. The steam of a shower combined with a tendency to throw a towel onto a radiator to heat up and dry will allow moisture to evaporate into the air and settle.

Mold is a visual eyesore and also spells bad news in terms of health. It is also a repeat offender, meaning that it takes more than a quick scrub to oust. In fact, some methods used to wipe away the problem will actually cause it to resurface faster. Whilst, you can’t eradicate your home from this menace, you can intercept its next move.

 

  1. Firstly, you will need to locate the most populated mold hot spots throughout your home. Identifying where moisture should and shouldn’t be is a large part of the battle. Initially, it can go unnoticed, you may soon begin to notice a reveal some of its true colours. The first is a strange, pungent odour and where this persists can be a better indicator than the appearance of the bacteria itself.

 

  1. Bathrooms are notorious breeding places for legions of mold. We offer them not only an often-warm environment but also food from our own bodies! Fortunately, this can be prevented in the long term relatively easily. All it will take is a bit of perseverance, some rubber gloves, and a bucket. Ensure that you mop up any moisture from condensation as soon as it accumulates.

  1. You are fighting a losing battle if your bathroom lacks adequate ventilation. An extractor fan has the ability to combat the peak of humidity that will ensue following a long and relaxing shower. These fans normally need to be turned on prior to using taps, showers or baths and will allow any air to fully escape.

 

  1. Mold destroying products usually contain harmful chemicals that can be just as offensive to your noise as the mold itself! Apply vinegar to the affected areas, leave for around an hour, rinse and wipe away. You will also need to break out some elbow grease for this too.
