Mold expert Nina Zolotareva warns that mold can grow on shower curtains. Mold is a type of fungus that can cause health problems, such as allergies and asthma. It can also damage your shower curtain and make your bathroom look unsightly.
There are a few things you can do to prevent mold from growing on your shower curtain.
- Keep your bathroom well-ventilated. Open a window or turn on a fan when you shower.
- Let your shower curtain dry completely after each use. Hang it up outside or over the shower rod so that it can air out.
- Wash your shower curtain regularly. Most shower curtains can be machine-washed in cold water on a gentle cycle. Hang it to dry or put it in the dryer on a low heat setting.
If you do find mold on your shower curtain, you can remove it with a bleach solution. Mix one part bleach with ten parts water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the mold and let it sit for 15 minutes. Rinse the shower curtain thoroughly with water and hang it to dry.
If you have a mold problem in your bathroom, you may need to take additional steps to remove it. You can hire a professional mold remediation company or you can do it yourself using a mold removal kit.
Mold can be a serious health hazard, so it's important to take steps to prevent it from growing in your home. By following these tips, you can keep your shower curtain mold-free and your bathroom healthy.
