Protect Your Bathroom From Mold
In almost anything, prevention is always better than cure.
While it’s invisible to the naked eye, the accumulation of mould in the bathroom happens with heat and moisture. Mould can be prevented, if not totally stopped.
Although this prevention can be done by you, you might still need plumbing services in Vancouver BC for your bathroom for the reason that there are times when moulds are formed due to the occurrence of leaks in your toilet bathroom. Shaul’s is a plumbing contractor in Vancouver BC that offers not only plumbing but also heating services in Vancouver BC.
As your trusted plumbing and heating contractor in Vancouver BC, we have listed helpful ways to prevent mould in your bathroom.
Keep Everything Dry
- Using a dry towel, wipe down the wet surfaces inside the bathroom every after use. You may also use a spray cleaner and go over every corner of the tub, sink, and toilet.
- Using a squeegee, dry mirrors, windows, and walls. And be sure to wipe everything until dry.
- Wash your towels, bathroom rugs, and shower curtains regularly, and replace them frequently.
- If you keep bathing products like bottles of shampoo, loofahs and bath sponges, and bath toys inside the bathroom, be sure they are dry.
- Fix leaks around sinks, pipes, faucets, showerheads, and toilet tanks. Fix them right away the moment you see one. If you can’t attend to them, you may call in a plumber.
Provide Proper Air Circulation
- Open the windows and close them during and after taking a bath. When cleaning the bathroom, you have to open all the windows.
- Put the exhaust fan on while you bathe or shower. Keep it on for half an hour after you’re done. The fan should be filtering the moisture from the air and sending it to an outside vent.
- To lower the humidity, if you don’t have an exhaust fan, a dehumidifier or an air conditioner can help. Both can control the level of moisture in the air.
Now that you‘ve known these ways, there is no more room for mould to accumulate in your bathroom. Aside from being clean, you also value preserving a healthy environment.
