Smelly bathrooms can affect the complete environment inside your home while making it extremely difficult for you to stand in such a difficult environment. Muggy showers, flush toilets, running sinks, and irregular drips can add up a high humidity to the wettest room in your home.
With major moisture, various potential issues such as mold and mildew, unbearable smell, peeling wallpapers, and others can make you feel irritated.
Luckily, with proper bathroom ventilation, you can keep the required check on the humidity and its resulting issues that can affect you severely.
Here are some of the ways to avoid extreme dampness buildup in your bathroom.
Most handy DIYers are aware of the project when there is a need to use the existing vents and electrical connections to replace the old bathroom fans with the newer units. When working with electricity is not within your comfort range, you can let the professionals handle it, who can efficiently do the job as needed. You can even get a pro who can help you install a fan in the bathroom that lacks one. This project needs extensive electrical wiring and the installation of vents running to the roof.
Let your bathroom vent fan run throughout your bath or shower, and make sure to leave it at least for 15 minutes after you are done to compile air out of space. It would help if you can turn on the fans right after you are done with showering or bathing that can provide the device with enough time to vent all the shower team. If your morning is completely hectic, make sure to install a bathroom vent fan with an automatic humidity sensor. These units can effectively detect when humidity levels are extremely high and switch the fan on and off.
If you have a shower door, leave it open while letting the running fan circulate air throughout the entire space. It can work great to get the shower doors, walls, floors, and ceilings to dry more quickly. If you have a curtain, avoid leaving it pushed all the way to one side but keep it all the way to one side when you step out of your bathrooms. Keeping the fabric primarily flat and eliminating the folds that trap the entire moisture will prevent mold and mildew spores from getting doubled. Make sure to keep the curtains closed most of the way while leaving the crack so that the fans can circulate the air inside the showers. Lastly, if your bathroom doesn’t have a fan, you need to take advantage of the door or windows that can let the air out of the room. Whenever weather provides permission, open up the windows during your shower or bath to leave the windows open for at least 15 minutes after you go out of your bathrooms. If the windows are not an option, keep your bathroom doors open – just a crack if privacy is an issue. After a shower, you just need to open up the door all the way once you are done going out of your bathrooms.
