How to Prevent & Remove Mold from Bathroom Walls & Ceilings in Peccole Ranch, NV

One of the most common substances to besmirch tile and grout is the mold and mildew growth. Generally common in bathrooms, but susceptible on any tiled floor in your home, mold and mildew can be especially challenging to remove. Mold does not need much to develop; moisture, darkness and a food source is all it really needs. In some cases of severe mold growth, most homeowners require a professional to thoroughly clean and salvage the tile and grout. With this in mind, we at Silver State Floor Restoration would like to expound on mold growth and how you can prevent it.

What Causes Mold on Bathroom Walls & Ceilings

Many people forgo the use of ventilation fans while making use of laundry rooms and bathrooms. Without the vent fans, the moisture and warm temperature content can feed the mold spores. Another cause to a mold outbreak is leaky toilets, faucets and pipes and when they are left unrepaired, the water exposure can easily lead to mold. Wood, wallpaper, grout, drywall, rugs, paper products, and fabric, among other cellulose materials, are extremely susceptible to mold when left damp.

Check for Mold Behind Shower Tile, Under Bathtub & More

It is always a good practice to inspect the bathroom as you clean it for any mold growing anywhere. Inspect the area under sinks, and in between products that typically occupy the cabinet space. Also look around exhaust fans, and around bathtub and shower grout and fixtures.

Mold Prevention

During the course of your shower or bathing, or while doing the laundry, be sure to use your exhaust/ventilation fan and leave it on for at least 30 minutes after you have finished. Get a ventilation fan installed in your bathroom or laundry room if you do not have one, and ensure it is repaired if it is not operating properly. To control the humidity levels under 50%, use your air conditioner or dehumidifiers. Either wash or replace mildew resistant shower curtain often. Avoid leaving bathroom paraphernalia in the shower wet including body wash containers, shampoo and conditioner bottles, bath toys, wash cloths or loofahs and shaving razors. Any bathroom rugs and nonslip shower mats should be washed frequently.

Mold Removal

Strip away any caulking or sealant is inflicted with mold and get it replaced. Do not mix cleaning products but responsibly clean your bathroom with mold cleaning products. While cleaning to help reduce chemical odors and to help air out the bathroom, open any windows and flip on the ventilation fan as it will also reduce mold occurrence in areas that might have been neglected. The mold can be costly to contain is it grows quickly under favorable conditions and can get easily out of control in little time. Once mold takes root, most the time, the material needs to be cutout. However, with professional assistance, you may avoid costly replacements.
