How to avoid Mold buildup in bathroom curtains

[snowleopard]

There's a buildup of mold in the bathroom curtains after a couple of months. Is this normal? The exhaust fan is on during the shower. Will it be better if the curtain is half open after shower to allow the steam to get out? Or should the fan be on for a few minutes more after showering?

One thing we should know with molds and mildew is that both like it much in areas that are dark, wet and warm. That is more likely our common bathroom. So after shower it is best to rinse a little bit our walls and the curtain with a cold water and remove as much water as you can. then you can leave the door open and the curtain well spread to speed up the drying process of the walls. Turning on the fan will also give a big help in the process.

a good and lasting solution is to use anti-mold paint i think boysen has a good product but cant remember the name. i used it in our bathroom and vuala no more molds, our bathroom does not have windows only an exhaust fan and before it easily gets molds just after paimting.REMEMBER MOLDS are DANGEROUS!!! it can casue respiratory ailment so remove it as soon as posible and children are easly suseptible to pathogens such as molds.. If they say that the paint is not for wood(if ur walls and seiling are made out of wood like ours) remember to paint it first with a primer like flat wall enamel so dat the anti mold paint would stick....

hope this helps..
