How do you prevent mold after a bathroom renovation?
What’s even mold lol I don’t quite know that
1. Ventilation
Install a good exhaust fan that vents outside, not just into the attic.
Keep the fan running during and after showers (10–15 minutes at least).
Open windows when possible to increase airflow.
2. Moisture Control
Wipe down wet surfaces after showers—especially tiles, glass, and countertops.
Fix any leaks immediately (faucets, pipes, showerheads).
Use waterproof or water-resistant materials, like porcelain tiles or moisture-resistant drywall (greenboard).
3. Material Choices
Choose non-porous tiles (porcelain, glazed ceramic, or glass) for walls and floors.
Use epoxy grout instead of standard grout; it’s mold-resistant.
Consider mold-resistant paint for ceilings and walls.
4. Routine Maintenance
Clean the bathroom weekly with a mild cleaner or vinegar solution.
Keep shower curtains or doors dry when not in use.
Inspect corners, grout lines, and behind vanities regularly for early signs of mold.
