Top 5 Reasons Why Mould Spreads In a Bathroom

April 20, 2022 · Cherry · Leave a Comment

Did you know about 70% of homes have mould problems?

That number is probably much higher than you expected. But it’s a problem that pops up quickly and can be challenging to take care of.

One common area mould is found is the bathroom. If you’ve seen it in yours, keep reading to learn five reasons why it might be there so you can see what changes to make.

1. You Don’t Have a Fan

Having a fan in the bathroom helps reduce the chances of mould by eliminating moisture.

Typically the fan will run while someone is showering. Instead of having steam build up and coat the bathroom, it’s sucked outside. A process like this reduces the amount of moisture within the room.

If you don’t have a ventilation system like a fan, installing one can make a big difference.

2. Wet Items Are Left Laying Around

While leaving around wet towels and bath mats might seem like nothing more than a cleanliness issue, they can create a bigger problem.

When wet items are left sitting, it increases the moisture level in the air as the water evaporates. So you can end up with mould on your towels and other things as well as the walls of the room.

3. Leaks

If your sink or shower are leaky, this can be a significant contributor to mould buildup.

The leak might seem small, but even if you’re collecting the water, there could be an even worse leak you don’t notice. Plus, open water in a room leads to more moisture in the air.

If you have a leak, getting it taken care of immediately can prevent mould from spreading or growing in the first place.

4. Not Cleaning Enough

A minor mould problem can become a big one if you don’t clean regularly and thoroughly.

Strong cleaning supplies like bleach can help kill the mould and prevent more from cropping up. You can find more strategies for getting rid of mould once you have it and preventing it in the first place here.

5. You Always Have the Door Closed

While it’s understandable why you’d want to keep your bathroom door closed, having it closed 24/7 can lead to issues like mould growth.

Airflow can help lower humidity. So leaving your bathroom door open, even a little, can help prevent moisture from being trapped.

Keep Mould Away With These Tips

It is possible to be one of the 30% of homes that don’t deal with mould. The first step is acknowledging practices you might do that can lead to mould growth. The second is changing them and sticking to a good cleaning routine.

If you follow the advice found here, mould shouldn’t be something you end up dealing with any time soon!
