1. Improve light and ventilation
Mould cannot grow in dry and brightly lit areas. So improving ventilation and light is an important first step to getting rid of mould. Keep windows and doors open as much as possible and consider a ventilation fan to remove steam while showering.
To improve bathroom light, remove blinds and curtains and replace with opaque glass. You don’t need to replace the glass, simply pick up an opaquing film to stick onto the glass. You might also consider a skylight or sky tube to increase natural daylight in the bathroom. Some sky tube kits are easy to install and you can do yourself.
2. Remove mould on tiles and grout
