Almost everyone has to deal with molds at some point, mold growth is very common and you don’t really notice them until they’ve grown fully and start to spread out. So that’s why the prevention of molds is better than treating the problem in the first place. If you know what causes this growth then you can prevent it, right? Well it’s not that easy, especially in places like the washroom, we know that molds form due to moisture and it is pretty hard to get rid of moisture in the bathroom, nevertheless, there are still some things you can do to minimize the risk as much as possible.

How to deal with them?
Waterproofing the walls is one way to go about this matter, use a semi-gloss paint coating for the walls, this would form a hard surface so molds can’t really grow on these types of surfaces and as for the floor tiles, you can use a grout sealer to waterproof the linings on the tiles. A shower screens Sydney would be better compared to the framed doors, in framed doors water can collect under the seals but in the case of frameless bath screen, there are no areas for water to build up and it’s also much easier to clean. At the same time make sure that there are no leaks in the door, as that would defeat the whole purpose of even having a shower door.

No matter what preventive measures you take, it will be useless if you don’t regularly clean up your bathroom, you should clean it at least once a week. Use an appropriate cleaner to clean the tub, toilet, sink, glass splashbacks Sydney, and doors. If your restroom mirror is removable, then remove and clean it at the back too but make sure that it dries properly before hanging it back. Also, don’t forget to wash the rugs every month.

If you still experience mold issues then you have to check up on your plumbing system, sometimes tubs and sinks fail to drain properly thus causing water to accumulate and lead to molds. Ensure that your faucets are closed properly and that there are no leaks, as this might also cause the mold issue at hand. And finally, make sure that you don’t stuff your bathroom with stuff, the likelihood for the formation of molds are pretty high at this condition, because one, the items can be wet and second, you won’t be able to see the molds forming due to the place being so packed.
