Are you constantly battling mold growth in your bathroom? You're not alone! Here's how to kick it to the curb and create a healthy space.

Bathrooms are typically the dampest rooms in any home, and despite your best efforts, you may find yourself in a constant battle against mold. That’s because mold only needs two things to grow and spread: water and a porous surface. “Bathrooms are typically moist environments and many surfaces in the bathroom, like tile grout, drywall, wallpaper, shower curtains, even cabinets can allow mold to grow,” says Tony Abate, a certified mold inspector.

Finding mold in the bathroom is more than just an unsightly nuisance. “When moist air in the home promotes the growth of mold and mildew, this can lead to respiratory problems and more serious illnesses,” says Richie Drew, VP of operations at One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning. Identifying and preventing the cause of mold growth is important so can keep your bathroom healthy and clean.
