Wipe down Shower Doors after every use to
Prevent Mold and Mildew Growth
By: Mark J. Donovan
Bathrooms and shower stalls are notorious breeding areas for mold and mildew
growth. Humidity levels in bathrooms are high due to hot water shower use, and
if the moisture is not quickly dispersed via evaporation or ventilation, mold
and mildew will begin to quickly grow. Mold and mildew growth can be observed by
either dark lines or slimy growth forming on the shower doors and walls.
Besides wiping down shower doors and walls with a squeegee or towel after
showering, it is also necessary to periodically wash the shower doors and walls
with a disinfectant to prevent and remove any mold and mildew growth.
Make
sure you wash every nook and cranny of the shower stall. In particular, wash in
corners and along shower door seams where water has the tendency to collect.
Frequently when wiping down the shower stall after use, these areas are not
sufficiently dried. Consequently it is these areas in particular that show signs
of mold and mildew growth.
Besides wiping down shower doors and walls, also make sure the bathroom has a
properly working bathroom fan that is vented to the outside. In addition, make
sure it is used during showers to quickly vent the moist air to the outside of
the home.
By
using a bathroom fan you can remove the moisture laden air quickly and slow the
growth of mold and mildew growth.
So before your bathroom begins to
grown mold and mildew fungus, make sure you develop a regular routine for wiping
down wet shower doors and walls. And in addition, pull out the disinfectant
occasionally and always use a bathroom ceiling fan when taking a shower.
