The steam produced during a warm shower can lead to dangerous and unsightly mold growth among other problems. The only way to counter this is through ventilation. The bathroom door can be an important factor in ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article will explore why keeping a bathroom door open is a better solution to humidity and unwanted mold.

It can also cause <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/why-bathroom-walls-sweat-yellow\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2353\">yellow stains on the walls<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/yellow-brown-spots-bathroom-ceiling\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"8345\">ceilings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can make your bathroom look a lot older than it is. It can also make it look dirty regardless of how often you clean it, which is very frustrating and disheartening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixing the damage is time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You will have to first remove the old paint, plaster, or wallpaper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then you will need to clean the surfaces as you cannot paint, plaster, or wallpaper over dirt&mdash;it interferes with the adhesion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the walls and\/or ceiling are clean, you can paint, wallpaper, or plaster (and paint or wallpaper).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also be expensive. Depending on what you buy, you can end up paying between $20 and $100 per gallon. Most bathrooms require 1-2 gallons. This is if you do the work yourself and it also assumes that you have all the painting hardware necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring someone to do the paint job will incur additional labor costs as will buying paint brushes, trays, and tape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, if you do not address the source of the humidity, you are looking at an endless loop of repair as the new finishes become damaged in the same way that the old finishes were damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Structural Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moisture causes wood to rot and metal to rust.

At best, you will only need to replace individual beams, which will cost about $100 per beam. Worst case scenario would be a full replacement of a section of the framing, which can set you back thousands or even tens of thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process is extremely invasive. You have to remove the drywalling or ceiling boards, trim, and insulation. You may also have to move or remove wiring, piping, and ducting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do it yourself, but you will still have to pay for rubble removal and specialist consultations when it comes to the infrastructure (pipes, ducts, and wiring). The cost of drywalling materials can also set you back thousands even if you do the installation yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on how extensive the work is, you may even need to move out of your house for the work to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indoor Mold Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are thousands of species of mold. In my article about <a data-lasso-id=\"85\" href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-to-prevent-mold-in-the-bathroom-three-steps-to-keep-mold-away\/\">preventing mold in bathrooms<\/a>, I talk about the most common different types of molds in our homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But despite all of their differences, they share at least one environmental growth requirement. Mold <a rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"86\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/sites\/production\/files\/2016-10\/documents\/moldguide12.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">cannot survive without moisture<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bathrooms are not the only spaces vulnerable to mold in a house, but they are the spaces that are most vulnerable. Bathrooms tend to be relatively small, exposed to significant amounts of steam at least once a day every day, and, unless they&rsquo;re being used, they&rsquo;re often completely dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/sciencing.com\/does-mold-grow-faster-in-the-light-or-dark-13420833.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"88\">combination of moisture and darkness<\/a> makes the bathroom a prime target for mold and mildew. Spores can spread exceptionally fast, and if they&rsquo;re left to grow, they can cause serious health problems and unsightly damage to your home.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dangers of Indoor Mold<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inhaling or touching indoor mold can be problematic at best. At worst, it may necessitate a hospital visit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While those with allergies, sensitive respiratory systems, or compromised immune systems are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/lung\/mold-mildew\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"89\">at the most considerable risk<\/a> of experiencing the mold-related symptoms, perfectly healthy individuals can also suffer from long-term mold inhalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic.jpg\" alt=\"most common health complaints associated with mold infographic.\" class=\"wp-image-34036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic-960x700.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic-150x109.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic.jpg.webp\" alt=\"most common health complaints associated with mold infographic.\" class=\"wp-image-34036 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic-960x700.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic-150x109.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/most-common-health-complaints-associated-with-mold-infographic.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most common health complaints associated with mold include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Sneezing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watery eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rash<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty breathing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Asthmatic individuals and small children are also particularly prone to mold exposure.
