GOOD VENTILATION is the key to keeping your bathroom fresh, clean, and mold & mildew free. Always turn your fan on before you start running water for a bath or shower and LEAVE IT ON for 20 mins - half an hour after you're done to adequately remove excess humidity from the air.
This will keep mold off your ceiling, windowsills, bathtub or shower stall, and other disgusting places it likes to live.
Believe me- it's much easier to turn on a fan than to scrub mold off bathroom surfaces.
let's do it!!

I've gotten into the habit of turning the bath fan on [& off] along with the light when I go into / out of the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteIt's second nature, and it really doesn't raise your electricity bill or waste energy if you remember to turn it off. ALSO bath fans these days are made to be super energy-efficient.
