No bathroom is immune to mold!

In our last Mold post, we laid out how and why Mold grows. Specifically, Mold loves a warm, damp place to grow and there is no better place in your home for Mold then your bathroom. So, how then do you prevent mold from appearing in your bathroom!

Understanding how and why mold grows in a bathroom will help to prevent its appearance. Bathroom mold is most commonly caused by excessive dampness. So try these tips to keep or clean it out.

1. Steam moisture is the biggest reason fro mold growth. It is important to run your exhaust fan while you shower or bathe. Let it continue to fan out the moisture for twenty minutes after you bathe as well.
2. Squeegee the tile and your bathroom wall to rid it of excessive moisture as well. Also, make sure the tile is waterproofed with a standard grout sealer.
3. If you currently have mold, use the 90/10 water / bleach blend to scrub it away and call the professionals at SERVPRO of Lufkin/S. Nacogdoches County to check for any unseen mold in your crawl spaces or attics.
