The bathroom can be one of the busiest rooms in the house and it's often where we take care of our daily health and beauty. Sometimes, it's also the preferred place for mold to take up regular residence when it stays too moist or stagnant. Leftover water from showers and baths, as well as hidden sources of water that build up when there's a leak or poor ventilation, can lead to mildew and mold – which you may not always notice if it's lurking in deeper corners or behind walls. What starts off as soap scum or a layer of mildew can eventually turn into darker mold, if it's not removed.
Most bathroom mildew and mold is more unsightly than dangerous. But, people who are sick, have allergies, asthma or other respiratory sensitivities may react to mold spores that break off in the air. Read more about the different kinds of mold you find in the bathroom and how to clean up to improve not only the look, but also the air in your bathroom. |
