Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Jun 16, 2020 6:51 pm The bathroom is bound to be humid, I get it, but since I put the washer and dryer in it, it's worse than ever, mold is starting to grow. I can't put the two anywhere else but I'm not that keen on sitting around and cleaning mold each time it grows either. Any advice?

Ceiling exhaust fan/s with the window either open by 50mm or add in a screen mesh to window to keep air coming into room to refresh air that is being pulled from the fan Re: Too much moisture 4Jun 17, 2020 6:19 pm If you don't already have a fan, install a bathroom exhaust fan, these are specifically designed to handle the load and provide sufficient air flow for what you need. Another option is to set up a dehumidifier with enough capacity to draw moisture from the air according to the size of your bathroom. If you are looking for a cheaper option, just install a screen mesh on the window so that you can leave it open as much time as you can, preferably 24/7, without bugs coming in. I hope that you made sure to clean the mold infestation right, by the way. I'd recommend 3% concentration hydrogen peroxide, it's much more efficient as opposed to bleach and white vinegar.
