Unwelcomed Decorations, A Guide to Prevent Mold.

We think of water as a transparent fluid. Now and then you might find bits of rust or mineral from the tap in your glass, so you throw out the water and draw a fresh glass. Whether piped into your home or bottled, that water comes from a ecological system that contains living organisms like Fish, Plants, Snails and insects. Water and air are both fluids and are mixed by a cyclic movement called convection.
When water is layered by temperatures, the warmer water at the surface, close to the air has more dissolved oxygen then the cold water below. Different mild organisms thrive at different depths. Among these organisms is algae, mold and even disease causing bacterias and amoebas. Legionnaires disease is a sometime lethal form of pneumonia caused by a type of bacteria.
One way we can cut down on potential hazards in the home is for a healthier bathroom. The toilet is one source of potential problems, if a toilet smells of sewer replace the wax ring. If condensation occurs, as the outside of a toilet drips, put a tray under the tank. The condensation is occurring due to the temperature difference in the room compared to the toilet itself. The running of an exhaust fan or dehumidifier mat help the situation.
Another source of problems is the shower, keep the shower curtain inside the shower to ensure no water escape. Remember to change the shower curtain periodically. Keep shower doors clean of slime with a mild bleach solution. The bathroom rugs should be cleaned regularly. Be sure your bathroom is adequately ventilated by a window or exhaust fan. Keep heat and air registers dust free in all bathrooms. To minimize mold growth, you can clean a bathroom surface with a mixed bleach solution. Clean off mold only while wearing a NES niosh mask and ventilating the space. If you use well water, get a radon water test kit. Keep all bleach and other cleaning products in secure metal Storage Cabinets.
One final tip in preventing the growth of mold in a bathroom, in addition to controlling moisture is to limit potential nutrients by keeping dust at a minimum. Tear toilet paper at the perforations to prevent shredding and use talc products not cornstarch to a minimum.
