Mold, mildew, and water damage are all caused by excessive moisture—which is naturally found in all bathrooms. If you want to prevent moisture from building up and causing damage to your bathroom’s surfaces, you’ll need to make an effort to keep your bathroom dry—especially in the wet areas, or the shower and tub.
A simple way to do this is by hanging a squeegee over the showerhead. Remind the whole family to wipe down the tub, shower, and wall surrounds after showering or bathing. Alternatively, you can open a window and turn on your bathroom’s exhaust fan while showering to let the humidity and moisture escape.

Let the shower to rinse this off and you’ll spare yourself from the need to wash the shower curtains or shower enclosure doors as frequently.
