Bathroom

1. Ventilation. Install and use an exhaust fan to reduce moisture while taking baths or showers.
2. Floors. Remove carpeting and use tile, vinyl, wood or linoleum flooring. Use washable rugs.
3. Walls. Remove wallpaper and install tile, or paint the walls with mold-resistant enamel paint.
4. Shower and tub. Towel-dry the tub and enclosure after use. Scrub mold from the tub, shower and faucets with bleach. Clean or replace moldy shower curtains and bathmats.
5. Toilet and sink. Scrub mold from plumbing fixtures. Repair leaks.
