Mould in the bathroom can be more than just an eyesore: it’s a health risk and can damage your property. At Bathrooms4U, we know how important it is to keep your bathroom fresh and clean, so here are practical, easy-to-follow tips to prevent mould and keep your space mould-free.

Ventilate Properly

Good ventilation is key. Always use your bathroom extractor fan during and after showers to remove moisture from the air. If your bathroom has a window, open it whenever possible to increase airflow and reduce dampness.

Use a Dehumidifier

In bathrooms with to humidity, a small dehumidifier can make a big difference by pulling excess moisture out of the air, especially during colder months when windows stay shut.

Choose Mould-Resistant Paint and Materials

When redecorating, use mould-resistant bathroom paint and waterproof grout. These products resist mould growth and protect your walls and tiles.

Clean Regularly with the Right Products

Use a bathroom cleaner with anti-mould properties. Pay close attention to corners and behind fixtures.

Fix Leaks Promptly

Drips from taps, showerheads, or pipes add moisture continuously. Get any leaks repaired immediately by our experienced team to avoid hidden mould problems.

Keep Towels, Mats, and Shower Curtains Fresh

Wash towels and mats regularly and hang them to dry fully. Replace or clean shower curtains often, especially fabric ones, to prevent mould from taking hold.

Use Shower Screens Instead of Curtains

Showers with glass screens tend to stop water spreading across the bathroom floor, helping to keep floors and walls drier.
