Common Problem Areas
Grout lines, caulk around tubs and showers, behind toilets, under sinks, ceiling near exhaust fans, and walls in poorly ventilated bathrooms.
Prevention
Run the exhaust fan during and after showers, fix leaks promptly, keep grout and caulk in good condition, and address any persistent condensation.
When Surface Cleaning Isn't Enough
If mold returns after cleaning, spreads, or appears on the ceiling or drywall, it's time for a professional inspection.
