Mold prevention wiping down surfaces.

Bathrooms are a breeding ground for mold, but with a little proactive care, you can keep your space fresh and healthy. First, ensure proper ventilation by running your bathroom fan during and after every shower or bath. This helps reduce humidity, which is mold's best friend. If you don’t have a fan, consider installing one or opening a window to let the moisture escape. Next, regularly wipe down surfaces like shower walls, sinks, and countertops, especially after use. Pay special attention to corners and grout lines, where water tends to collect. Additionally, fix any leaks promptly, whether from a sink, faucet, or showerhead—these can lead to hidden water buildup that encourages mold.
