After all, it&rsquo;s not an uncommon occurrence in a bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Condensation forms when the hot, moisture-laden steam created by running a hot shower or bath comes into contact with the comparatively cold surfaces in the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thermal energy in the air is transferred down the temperature gradient to the colder surfaces. When this happens, the air molecules stop moving so fast, allowing them to stay closer to one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that there is less space for water molecules to fit between the air molecules and water is forced out as condensation. <\/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\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface.jpg\" alt=\"How water molecules and air reacts to a colder surface, thermal transfer and condensation on bathroom walls\" class=\"wp-image-33107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface-960x700.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface-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\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface.jpg.webp\" alt=\"How water molecules and air reacts to a colder surface, thermal transfer and condensation on bathroom walls\" class=\"wp-image-33107 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface-960x700.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface-150x109.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-water-molecules-and-air-reacts-to-a-colder-surface.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the condensation is not abnormal, although <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/best-ways-to-reduce-bathroom-moisture-a-complete-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"271\">high levels and long drying times are problematic<\/a>.

Yellow is the most common color you will see in a bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with mineral deposits, the discoloration of condensation as a result of mildew growth is <strong>not going to be apparent at first<\/strong>. I mean, mildew doesn&rsquo;t start growing after one steamy shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An exception would be if you moved into a house with old bathrooms that already have mildew growing on the walls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s the mildew itself that lends color to the water droplets, so only once mildew is growing will your walls appear to sweat yellow\/brown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Condensation glistening on top of mildew can make the water look yellow\/brown<\/strong>, but in these cases, you are more likely going to be focusing on the actual mildew growing on the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>mildew spores can be picked up by the condensed water<\/strong> and drip down onto walls that are not obviously mildew-covered. The spores lend a tinge of color to the water, which can appear yellow\/brown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps these spores are being <strong>picked up from places that are less visible<\/strong>, e.g., the ceiling where it&rsquo;s covered by the light fitting or the wall hidden by a storage unit or the toilet cistern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, don&rsquo;t just write off this possibility if you don&rsquo;t initially see any mildew. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heating Appliances Can Cause Wall Discoloration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources of heat can also be the cause for the yellow\/brown sweat. Here, we are not talking about hot water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather, we&rsquo;re referring to bathroom heaters, heated towel rails, water heaters (some people have the space to <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/gas-water-heater-installed-bathroom\/\">keep these in the bathroom<\/a>), and even <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/gas-dryer-installed-bathroom\/\">dryers that are installed in the bathroom<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>White <strong>paint can be readily discolored by prolonged exposure to heat<\/strong>. The paint starts to break down and can turn a shade of yellow. It may even start to crack or marble, like an old statue. <\/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\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust.jpg\" alt=\"Peeling paint and rust\" class=\"wp-image-33104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust-960x700.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust-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\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Peeling paint and rust\" class=\"wp-image-33104 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust-960x700.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust-150x109.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Peeling-paint-and-rust.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if excessive condensation is not a problem in your bathroom, i.e., your ventilation system is doing its job, there will still be some water droplets forming on the the walls.

She spent weeks scrubbing the walls and ceilings, pouring countless buckets of yellow water down the drain per wall and section of the ceiling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presence of an <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/smoke-bathroom-fan-on-notice\/\">extractor fan often leads smokers to smoke in or near their bathrooms<\/a> when they are not able to access an outside area or if it is too cold or wet to open a window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, when the extractor fan is turned on, it will pull in a &ldquo;fresh&rdquo; air supply from adjoining rooms. In a chronic smoker&rsquo;s house, this air is likely to contain cigarette smoke, and the bathroom walls are thus exposed, even if the cigarette was not smoked in the bathroom itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the bathroom walls are perpetually <strong>bombarded with the tainted smoke, the particles settle onto the surfaces<\/strong>, and over time, the buildup will become more and more noticeable as a yellow\/brown stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As most bathroom walls are painted in light colors, this discoloration is going to become obvious quite soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When condensation settles over the stains, it can look like the walls are sweating yellow, either by <strong>magnifying the discoloration or by picking up and carrying the yellow residue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleanup Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Rid of Mineral Deposits and Soap Scum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have yellow\/brown mineral deposits or a buildup of soap scum, you should be able to clean these off the walls with <strong>basic cleaning techniques<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some mineral stains will be harder to get rid of than others<\/strong>. It depends on the minerals being deposited, the amount, and how long they&rsquo;ve been caked to the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soap scum should be pretty easy to clean off, but if it leaves behind stains, then these can take a little more effort to eliminate. <\/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\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge.jpg\" alt=\"Cleaning a bathroom wall using a sponge\" class=\"wp-image-33102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge-960x700.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge-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\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Cleaning a bathroom wall using a sponge\" class=\"wp-image-33102 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge-960x700.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge-150x109.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cleaning-a-bathroom-wall-using-a-sponge.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-8\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by gently scrubbing the wall with a <strong>soft-bristled scrub brush<\/strong>.

However, you have to be careful because if you use a solution that is too strong, you will end up further staining your walls yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you&rsquo;ve already cleaned the walls as well as possible. Mix one cup of bleach and a gallon of water inside of a bucket. Dip a clean sponge into the mixture (wearing gloves to protect your hands!) and wipe down the yellow surfaces with it. You should start to see the yellow change color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use a <strong>razor blade<\/strong> to scrape the soap scum off of the walls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Bleach and a soft-bristled brush are also excellent at clearing up yellow toilet stains.

If you just paint the damaged spot or wall, the chances are good that you will end up with a patch that looks different to the rest of the room. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/is-bathroom-paint-worth-it\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2012\">bathroom paint<\/a><\/strong>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning Up Smoke Stains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cigarette smoke stains can be removed using <strong>warm white vinegar<\/strong>. For dark stains, use it neat or undiluted; for minor stains, you can mix up equal parts warm water and vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important for you to use warm vinegar (or vinegar solution) because the yellow stains caused by cigarettes can become sticky or hardened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you may be able to remove the cigarette stains using a <strong>household detergent<\/strong>, preferably one designed to <strong>combat grease<\/strong>, such as a dishwashing liquid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is particularly effective if you invested in a <a data-lasso-id=\"1531\" href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/is-bathroom-paint-worth-it\/\">high-gloss bathroom-specific wall paint<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the <strong>degreasing detergent<\/strong> is not working effectively on its own, you can try <strong>adding some baking soda<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The quantities would be 0.5-0.7 fl. oz. (15-20 ml) of detergent and approximately half a cup of baking soda for every gallon of water you use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Removing stains will also always involve <strong>time and elbow grease<\/strong>, so don&rsquo;t get disheartened if it takes a while or even a few cleaning sessions to see significant results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevention Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have your walls all nice and clean again and that pesky yellow\/brown &ldquo;sweat&rdquo; has stopped forming, you need to look at how to prevent the situation from happening again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preventing\/Controlling Condensation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bathroom Exhaust Fan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/choose-bath-fan\/\"><strong>bathroom exhaust fan<\/strong><\/a> that vents to the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/does-a-bathroom-fan-need-to-vent-outside\/\">outdoors<\/a> is by far the best method of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-bathroom-fans-reduce-humidity\/\">keeping the humidity levels in check<\/a> and, in turn, preventing excessive condensation from forming on the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-fan-cfm-calculator\/\"><strong>size the fan<\/strong><\/a><strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bath-fan-duct-length-dimension-table\/\">duct<\/a> correctly<\/strong>&mdash;it&rsquo;s more important than you might think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fan that is underpowered will struggle to exhaust the moisture fast enough, and an over-powered fan will require <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/makeup-air-necessary-bathroom-fan\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"25821\">makeup air to prevent depressurization<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to make things <strong>as easy as possible<\/strong> install the Panasonic fan pictured below.

It is a simple way to release moisture from your bathroom and avoid letting it sit on your walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all bathrooms have windows, but they will have doors. So, if you <a data-lasso-id=\"1530\" href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/12-tips-to-keep-bathroom-dry-without-a-fan\/\">don&rsquo;t have a bathroom window<\/a>, you&rsquo;ll have to <strong>keep the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/should-you-keep-the-bathroom-door-open-or-closed-after-shower\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"117\">bathroom door open<\/a><\/strong> during or immediately following your shower or bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the warm air can escape the bathroom through an open door, it can be almost as effective as an open window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wipe Down Everything<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a dry <strong>towel to wipe off the condensation<\/strong> and water droplets from the surfaces of your bathroom.
