How do I prevent mold in my bathroom?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Run the exhaust fan during and for 30 minutes after showers. Wipe down wet surfaces after use. Keep grout and caulk in good condition. Fix any leaky faucets or toilet connections promptly. Use a squeegee on shower walls. Keep bath mats and towels dry. Consider a dehumidifier if your bathroom stays damp.

Why It Matters

Bathroom mold can damage surfaces, create health risks, and lead to costly remediation if ignored.
