Bathroom mould is widespread and may occur for a variety of reasons, but before you hire a Certified Mold Inspector, you should know that you can safely clean or remove on your own and when you need a professional mold inspection company.
Surface Mold -
Surface mold is frequently seen in areas with inadequate ventilation and excessive humidity. When steam from a hot shower condenses, the moisture, coupled with organic materials (wood/body oils/soap/dirt), creates the ideal environment for mould to thrive.
The surface mould can be cleaned and disinfected with a powerful household cleanser. If the surface is physically intact - grout and tiles are not broken, walls and baseboards are firm.
The key to mould removal is to not only remove the mould, but also the source of the mould so that it does not return. To avoid the recurrence of surface mould in your bathroom, follow these guidelines:
- After a shower, check that the bathroom fan is working properly and keep it running for 30-60 minutes.
- After a shower, open a window to let moisture escape.
- To prevent overspray during showers, secure the shower curtain.
- Dry any condensation and accumulated water as soon as possible.
- Clean all surfaces, including grout and under the toilet, on a regular basis.
- Before water can seep behind the wall, fill any grout cracks.
- Repaint with mould and mildew-resistant paint, including the ceiling.
