How to Improve Ventilation in Your Bathroom

Proper ventilation is essential for spaces constantly exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms. Good airflow can help prevent serious issues, such as mold growth, rot and poor indoor air quality. It can also help ensure your space always smells fresh. 

Improve ventilation in your bathroom using these expert tips. 

Open Windows Whenever Possible

Allowing fresh air to enter through windows can help reduce humidity and moisture in your bathroom. If the weather is nice and privacy isn’t an issue, open windows while showering or bathing. Leave them open for at least 15 minutes when you’re done. 

Don’t Leave Shower Doors or Curtains Closed

Does your shower have a door or curtain? If so, make it a habit to keep it open after washing up. Doing so will allow the floors, ceilings and walls to dry faster. It’s also a good idea to keep your exhaust fans running if you have any. 

Invest in Quality Exhaust Fans

High-quality exhaust fans are among the best investments for your bathroom. If you have a bathroom without windows, the more reason you should have fans installed. Your equipment should be adequately sized for the room to prevent mold and mildew buildup. Consult professionals if you’re unsure which unit is most suitable for your space.

Eliminate Pooling Water

Wet bathroom floors can be dangerous, especially for your older loved ones. Wipe puddles of water on the floor immediately. It will go a long way in preventing slip and fall incidents and help reduce the likelihood of mold growth.
