Mold Prevention Tips

If you have seen mold in your bathroom, this may cause you to worry.  Showers and baths can create lingering moisture. Without the proper ventilation, excess moisture can cause mold to grow. Also, if you have a leak in your pipes behind the walls that you can't see, this can contribute to mold growth.  

A few simple steps to prevent mold in your bathroom: 

1. Properly ventilate your bathroom. If you have a fan, make sure it is on or open a window while you shower or take a bath. 
2. After you are finished, allow the fan to run for at least 30 minutes to allow air to circulate. 
3. Use mildew-resistant shower and window curtains. 
4. Wipe down your shower after use to remove any lingering moisture. 
5. Once a month, wash your shower curtain.
6. Damp laundry should not be left on the floor. 
7. If you notice any leaks, try to get them repaired ASAP.
