Mold in the bathroom is a common issue, and there's a right way and a wrong way to deal with it. Here are some tips.

Mold can be an ugly and unwelcome sight in any bathroom, and this living organism can cause health problems—especially for those with respiratory problems and allergies. What’s more, a small patch of mold can spread behind walls, under flooring, and above the ceiling, leading to possible rot, structural damage, and costly repairs. Therefore, getting rid of mold in the bathroom is crucial in stopping its potential spread and lasting damage.

"Mold doesn’t necessarily stay confined to the bathroom," says Hector Stewart, CEO of Baltimore HCS Home Cleaning Services. "If not addressed, it can spread spores to other areas of the house and start growing there, as well."

When cleaning mold from your bathroom (or home in general), safety is always paramount. Prioritize wearing protective gear, and don't hesitate to bring in the professionals if need be. Nonetheless, the task is worth the effort: "Preventing mold in the bathroom will protect the investment in your home’s materials and finishes," says Stewart.
