I do two-minute task after every shower and my bathroom stays mould-free
Bathrooms and showers, in particular, are prime environments for mould to take hold, given the combination of heat, moisture and poor ventilation. Routine activities such as showering and bathing produce considerable amounts of steam, significantly increasing air humidity.
TL;DR
- Bathrooms are ideal environments for mould due to heat, moisture, and poor ventilation.
- Showering and bathing increase air humidity, leading to dampness on surfaces.
- A daily two-minute task of squeegeeing wet tiles and shower screens prevents mould by removing excess water.
- This simple routine helps eliminate moisture that mould spores rely on.
- Squeegeeing also prevents watermarks and limescale.
- Dehumidifiers and natural dehumidifiers like baking soda and salt can help reduce indoor humidity.
- Lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda can be used to remove limescale and soap scum.
