What causes mould?



Mould grows best in damp areas, such as the bathroom and kitchen, but also in cellars and sheds. Moulds develop where there is lots of condensation from warm air in combination with little or no ventilation.
For example, black mould in the bathroom caused by hot steam that floats down onto tiles, grout and windows after showering. In addition to the bathroom, the kitchen is also a favourite place for mould to grow due to the hot steam when cooking and insufficient extraction.



3 tips for preventing mould in the bathroom

No problem with mould in the bathroom but you want to prevent it from forming? Below are a few tips for preventing mould.

1. Warm up the bathroom before showering
If you have a heater in your bathroom, this is ideal to prevent black mould in the bathroom, shower or ceiling. Turning on the heating before showering means less condensation will form on the warm walls and this greatly reduces the chance of mould in the shower and in the bathroom and therefore also the need for using a bathroom mould remover. 

2. Ensure good ventilation in the bathroom after showering
Even though you should warm up the bathroom before showering, it is important to ventilate well afterwards to get rid of all the moisture. And if you have a fan in the bathroom, make sure to use it during and after showering to help prevent mould in the shower. The moisture will not remain in the air and the chance of black mould in the bathroom is reduced.
