Inadequate Bathroom Ventilation Could Be Making You Sick

Do you have an exhaust fan in your bathroom? Do you run it each time you take a bath or a shower? Do you let it run for at least 10-15 minutes after you’ve finished bathing? If you answered “no” to any of these questions, your health could be at risk. Why? Find out below:


Ever wonder what those little black spots are on your ceiling or in the actual shower or tub? Chances are it’s mold. Mold thrives in warm, humid climates and you guessed it - your bathroom is the perfect breeding ground.

What’s so bad about mold? Mold and mildew can cause throat irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation or even respiratory issues for those who are more sensitive. Suffer from asthma? Then you definitely want to keep your home mold-free.

How can keep mold from growing in the bathroom? Running your bathroom’s exhaust fan is a MUST! This device helps to remove excess moisture from the air making it more difficult for mold to grow. We recommend starting up the fan as soon as you get into the bathroom and leave it running for 10-15 minutes following your bath or shower.
