Preventing Mold

The best defense is preventing mold from occurring in the first place. Keep in mind the following tips for keeping mold out of your bathroom:

• Use your bathroom ventilation fan when you shower or bathe, and leave it on for 30 minutes following the end of your bath; if you don’t have an exhaust fan, install one.
• Keep household humidity levels below 50%; an air conditioner or dehumidifier can help.
• Use a mildew-resistant shower curtain, and wash or replace it frequently.
• Don’t keep bottles of shampoo or shower gel, toys, or loofahs in the shower, as they provide places for mold to grow and hide.
• Wash your bathroom rugs frequently.
