Mould is a common sight in bathrooms, since bathrooms are often warm and humid, the ideal conditions are created for mould to grow. Most bathrooms tend to lack ventilation, which increases the risk of mould.
If your bathroom is not regularly cleaned and ventilated, mould will have an easy time finding its way into your bathroom. Kleen Slate Services is a professional mould removal Perth company.

Tips to Prevent Mould From Growing in Your Bathroom
Follow these guidelines to ensure you keep mould at bay from entering and growing in your bathroom:
1. Keep the air in your bathroom dry using an extraction fan. This will help prevent moisture on surfaces. A window opening to the outside of your house also helps.
2. Clean surfaces often. Regularly wipe down walls and floors to eliminate mould spores and keep them from growing.
3. Use a sealant on areas where moisture can seep in, such as around showers, tubs, and sinks.
4. Check for leaks and repair any plumbing issues in your bathroom to prevent water buildup which creates a preferable condition for mould growth.
5. Let in natural light and use an extractor fan while showering to reduce condensation and moisture.
6. Wash your bathroom rugs frequently and hang up damp towels and bathroom rugs in dry, ventilated areas.
