Everyone talks about how much time a family will spend together in the kitchen or a family room like a den. Another room where family members spend a lot of time, not together, but alone, is in the bathrooms in the home. If you have a large family that shares only one or two bathrooms, it can be a really big challenge to keep them clean and in good working order all of the time. Bathrooms are where many germs and viruses can be spread easily when they are not kept as clean as possible.
Bathrooms are also one of the most common and easiest rooms that can develop mold growth. Around the shower or bathtub surround, sinks, and the toilet are all great spots for mold to show up. The reason for this is usually because of the humid conditions that can take place in the bathroom every time people bath or shower with hot water. All of this hot water creates steam and steam is moisture and moisture combined with warmth and the proper food source will create mold.
There are ways to avoid mold growth in bathrooms. Exhaust fans are one of the most essential items to have installed in bathrooms to prevent mold. Exhaust fans should be used every time bathing or showering is going on. The fans will pull the moisture up into the vent and carry it through the duct work and out of the house. This is so essential to help prevent not only mold, but it also helps to protect your paint, wallpaper, and woodwork in the bathroom.
Sometimes even when a bathroom or a kitchen has exhaust fans, it is still not uncommon for mold to make an appearance. The exhaust fan that is installed might not be large enough to pull all the moisture out of the air fast enough and this means that if enough moisture is left in the air, mold can develop. Another way that an exhaust fan might not prevent mold is simply because people forget to use them. They are there for a reason and if they are not turned on while there is steam in a bathroom, mold will grow.
If your bathrooms do not have exhaust fans, get one installed that will be adequate for the size of your bathroom. If you have them already, make sure your family uses them every time they bath. Keep your bathrooms as clean as you can using disinfectants regularly to kill mold before it has time to get started. Also watch for mold development on the walls, ceiling, and the baseboards of the floor.
