Tackling Mould in Your Bathroom

Nobody wants mould anywhere in the home, and it doesn’t only look and smell bad, but it is also bad for your health. Places in the home with higher moisture levels are going to be more susceptible to mould and of course the bathroom is the most obvious place in the home for mould to form due to this.

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to deal with mould and to prevent it from appearing in the first place…

Improve Ventilation in the Bathroom

Ventilation is a must to reduce the risk of mould developing, as it stops moisture from becoming trapped in the room. If you have windows in the bathroom, open them after a shower or a steamy bath. Always use the extractor fan if you have one and also use a dehumidifier if the bathroom is particularly damp.

Use a Mould Resistant Bathroom Sealant

Sealant can deteriorate over time and this can be the perfect place for mould to form. Use a bathroom sealant like this https://www.ct1.com/product_application/sealing-your-shower-tray-with-bt1-bathroom-sealant/ to replace areas where it has gone mouldy. Remove old sealant and mouldy areas first with a scraper so you have a fresh clean area to work on.

Clean any Existing Mould

If you have mould in the bathroom already, you are going to need a special spray that targets mould in order to get rid of it. Look in particularly damp areas, nooks and crannies and around the windows to identify all the main areas where mould is more likely.
