Everyone is aware that mold thrives on lingering moisture. Rooms that provide access to water and are not well-ventilated are in danger, and your bathroom is at the top of that list.

There is water in use in the bath area throughout the day, and of course doors and windows are shut and/or curtained. These conditions are very inviting for a colony of mold spores.

Mold can, and will, grow on numerous types of material in your bathroom, such as shower curtains, wallpaper, drywall, grout, and flooring. It is unsightly, smells bad, and can cause health effects. Once it takes hold, it is impossible to eradicate completely, so your best bet will always be to prevent it from the outset.

Here are three tips on how to prevent mold in your bathroom:

Make sure your bathroom is properly ventilated. Use the vent system and fans anytime your tub or shower is in use to keep down the moisture in the air. Leave these running for at least 30 minutes after their use is over.


Wash items in your bath regularly. Rugs should be washed and completely dried on a regular basis, while your shower/bath walls need to be wiped down and dried as often as possible. Cleansing and drying the walls and floors in the bathroom after use are also great ways to keep mold from gaining a foothold in this space! Purchasing a dehumidifier can be a really great idea, too - especially for bathrooms that see a tremendous amount of use or seem to be especially difficult to dry out.


Use mold resistant materials. Paint, flooring, and even shower curtains can all be purchased containing mold resistant materials, and these can go a long way towards keeping your bathing area mold free. Why not get a head start?
Here at SERVPRO of Brunswick, we are here for you.
