Why Does My Bathroom Get Mould So Fast?

March 2, 2022

Mould is a fungus that can create difficulties in your house, particularly in the bathroom. It is not only unappealing, but it could also lead to a number of health problems as well as severe damage to the property. So, why does mould grow in bathrooms, and what steps can you take to prevent it? Read on to learn some practical tips to stop mould growth today.

What Causes Mould Growth In Your Bathroom?

The dampness and warmth in your bathroom create a humid atmosphere, which becomes an optimal location for mould spores to thrive. Each time you take a shower or bath, or just wash your face in hot water at the washbasin, you're creating this ideal environment for mould to grow. Mould is fueled by other microscopic microorganisms and particles on the surfaces of your bathroom and in the air, causing it to spread quickly.

How To Prevent Mould Growth?

1. Purchase A Good Fan

The first action you should take is to ensure that every bathroom in your home has a good ventilation fan. Vents extract moisture from the air and release it outside. A fan can serve as the first level of protection against mould and dampness.

2. Ensure Your Bathroom Is Well-ventilated

After a shower, open the windows and the bathroom door for as long as possible, as much as possible. Install a ventilation fan on the ceiling and turn it on anytime the bathroom is used. Moisture can be controlled via climate control or a dehumidifier.

You could even place a jar of damp control stones in the room and change them on a regular basis, this is a good option if you're looking for a more low-tech solution.

3. Regularly Check For Mould

Mould may sneak into your bathroom without you noticing. This is prevalent in areas that aren't cleaned on a regular basis, such as behind toilets or underneath sinks.

Mould thrives in wet, musty environments, so if you smell a damp odour, act quickly. Check for leaks at the bottom of faucets where the seal may have eroded. Remove the bath side panel and look for cracks around the plumbing, which could cause water to pour onto the floor.

4. Keep Your Tiles Clean

It's important to clean and dry any damp surfaces, especially after use, including the bathtub and shower. After each use, you should also hang your towels to dry, allow the bath curtain to dry completely by pulling it out to its entire length and thoroughly clean the shower screen on a regular basis.
