- Mold and Mildew – Mold and mildew are commonly found within the bathroom because it is the perfect environment for the two to thrive. Mildew is unpleasant looking and has the capability of spreading quickly. Certain surfaces like fabrics, grout, caulking, and wood are more susceptible to mildew than other surfaces. The spores from mold and mildew are capable of traveling through the air and directly into the lungs – which may detrimentally impact breathing. To combat mold and mildew, you should thoroughly clean the bathroom within 20 minutes of taking a hot shower. If you have a serious issue with mold and mildew, you should hire a professional to clean it away and consider installing a new bathtub and/or walk-in shower with new walls into the room.
- Showerheads and Faucets – showerheads and faucets have the ability to make us very sick. This stems from poor water quality, and bacteria. If harmful microbes develop on the showerhead or the faucets, they may make their way into the air. When you mix that with the steam from the shower, you may find that you become quite ill. To avoid this, clean and replace your showerheads and faucets on a regular basis.
- Broken Bathroom Fan – The bathroom is a room that becomes steamy and has an excessive level of moisture. This is why it is imperative that there is a fan that works in the room. You must ensure the fan is working properly and is not covered with dust, dirt, and mold. If you have a dirty fan, those substances will be recirculated in the air and you will breathe them in.
