It makes cleaning the bathroom harder, especially if there is added buildup of dirt and slimy grime from humidity that has nowhere to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bathroom moisture can be reduced by using a ventilation fan or keeping the window open while showering.

the same issues can be at play in both kitchens and basements as well. <strong>Still, the bathroom is often the toughest spot to control.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bathrooms are small and often closed off with one or no windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem, though, is that nearly all homeowners would agree that air-sealed walls and high-quality, airtight windows are beneficial for a multitude of reasons, including saving energy &mdash; and thus, money &mdash; and staying warm during the cold winter months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for bathrooms, an airtight wall means that each time you shower, that moisture gets trapped in the wall without a way to evaporate and dry out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And with no way for water to evaporate, it will sink into the wall, condense, and create layers of moisture, leading to mold growth, ruined or falling out tiles, damaged walls (<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/homeenergy.org\/show\/article\/nav\/ventilation\/id\/1374\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"214\">source<\/a>), and <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/why-bathroom-walls-sweat-yellow\/\" data-lasso-id=\"215\">unsightly yellow stains<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, the question remains: how do you go about reducing moisture without having to rebuild your bathroom &mdash; or your whole home layout for that matter?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are essentially a few basic ways to go about doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first is to find a way to eliminate moisture altogether. The second is to provide adequate, high-quality ventilation, which can be achieved in multiple ways.&nbsp; And the third is to work to clear the air of moisture as it begins to build up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clearly, the first option isn&rsquo;t much of an option at all for bathrooms because moisture is inevitable<\/strong> &mdash; unless we avoid showering, which, of course, is not something most of us would agree to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the first option negated, we are left with figuring out a way to both provide proper ventilation to avoid the inevitable challenges that come with water and humidity and utilize added measures to help clear the air of excess moisture as it occurs.&nbsp;<\/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\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles.jpg\" alt=\"Wet blue floor tiles\" class=\"wp-image-34260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles-960x700.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles-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\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Wet blue floor tiles\" class=\"wp-image-34260 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles-960x700.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles-150x109.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Wet-blue-floor-tiles.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expelling Moisture from Your Bathroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, we talked a bit about the placement of your bathroom in your home. But where your shower and bathtub are located in your bathroom matters, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During winter months a poorly insulated exterior wall that is adjacent to a shower can make it easier for mold to grow. As the wall is colder and water settles in the grout between tiles, it can stay there long enough for mold and mildew to build up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And, while you may not immediately be able to see that buildup, the moisture behind the tiles can damage the exterior walls of your home over time. <\/strong>Better placement and construction planning ideally puts your shower on an interior wall to avoid this problem, but this is not always possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your shower is on an internal wall or an external one, <strong>proper ventilation is key to prevent mold growth, and ventilation is the first step in ridding excessive moisture from your bathroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">The Importance of Ventilation in Moist and Humid Environments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Without ventilation, humidity sits in the air and finally settles on the walls and ceiling of your bathroom. <strong>Ventilation not only <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-bathroom-fans-reduce-humidity\/\" data-lasso-id=\"216\">reduces humidity <\/a>but also prevents damage and other health issues that could arise from a lack of ventilated air, including those sourced from mold and mildew.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mold and mildew can create pretty big problems<\/strong>, and they tend to thrive in moist environments, making your bathroom an especially suitable home for both.

Another option is to open the bathroom door when showering if you can, this will aid in air movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A more complicated fix that will require significant investment is considering windows with warm edge technology, and mirrors that can be heated to keep the surface warm and reduce condensation.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, before we talk more about those two options, below are some simple tips and tricks that will also help (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk\/info\/blog\/deal-bathroom-condensation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"229\">source<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Reduce the amount of time you are in the bath or shower.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wipe down shower doors, mirrors, fixtures, and other surfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a cooler shower, but turn up the thermostat to 70 degrees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be sure that your <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-open-close-round-ceiling-vents\/\">vents are open<\/a> so that air can move in and out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Air out damp towels and bathroom mats outside of the bathroom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the above solutions aren&rsquo;t quite providing you with the results you want, the next step is to consider mirrors, windows, and even a floor with technology that will keep those surfaces warm and reduce condensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are mirrors available that have what are called &ldquo;demister&rdquo; pads, which are essentially heating pads on the reverse side. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n    <a data-amazonimages=\"\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"B&amp;C 72x30 Inch LED Lighted Bathroom Mirror with Touch Button for Color Temperature, Brightness&amp;Defogger, Memory Dimming Function, Anti-Fog Ultra-Thin Wall Mounted Mirror, Vertical\/Horizontal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07GC5PWB6?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31HQjWeBSwL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"B&amp;C 72x30 Inch LED Lighted Bathroom Mirror with Touch Button for Color Temperature, Brightness&amp;Defogger, Memory Dimming Function, Anti-Fog Ultra-Thin Wall Mounted Mirror, Vertical\/Horizontal\" title=\"B&amp;C 72x30 Inch LED Lighted Bathroom Mirror with Touch Button for Color Temperature, Brightness&amp;Defogger, Memory Dimming Function, Anti-Fog Ultra-Thin Wall Mounted Mirror, Vertical\/Horizontal\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31HQjWeBSwL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"B&amp;C 72x30 Inch LED Lighted Bathroom Mirror with Touch Button for Color Temperature, Brightness&amp;Defogger, Memory Dimming Function, Anti-Fog Ultra-Thin Wall Mounted Mirror, Vertical\/Horizontal\" title=\"B&amp;C 72x30 Inch LED Lighted Bathroom Mirror with Touch Button for Color Temperature, Brightness&amp;Defogger, Memory Dimming Function, Anti-Fog Ultra-Thin Wall Mounted Mirror, Vertical\/Horizontal\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will keep your mirror warm as you shower so that when the moisture in the air comes into contact with the mirror surface, it will stay clear of condensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to windows, some newer, more innovative, high-quality windows come with warm edge technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple terms, warm edge technology refers to a window that is constructed with multiple layers of glaze, rather than one layer in older, more traditional windows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As a result, these windows conduct less heat as well as lower variations in cold, resulting in lower levels of condensation (<a href=\"https:\/\/thewindowsource.net\/products\/windows\/warm-edge-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"230\">source<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more way to reduce condensation is to consider repainting your bathroom with a special type of paint that is designed to deflect water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In essence, the water does not stay on the surface of walls as readily, reducing condensation, and thus reducing potential paint damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve worked through your ventilation, considered a dehumidifier, and learned about ways in which to reduce condensation, you should see a noticeable difference in the level of moisture in your bathroom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we&rsquo;ll talk about a unique product called a moisture absorber.

There are various types, and you&rsquo;ve probably seen a simple version inside of your most recent pair of brand-new shoes or amazon package.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-moisture-absorber-does-work\/\">effectiveness is limited in the bathroom<\/a> due to the high humidity levels, but it an be a good temporary or contributing measure to controlling moisture in the bathroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Silica Gel and Calcium Chloride<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both silica gel and calcium chloride work to remove moisture from the air through a process called &ldquo;adsorption.&rdquo; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the simplest of terms, adsorption simply refers to the process in which liquid molecules adhere to the surface of a solid, or adsorbent, removing moisture from the air (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Silica_gel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"231\">source<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those tiny little packets you see inside new shoes or in packaging material work to keep moisture at bay, but you&rsquo;ll also often see &ldquo;Do Not Eat&rdquo; written on those bags as they can be dangerous if ingested.&nbsp;<\/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\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack.jpg\" alt=\"Desiccant silica gel pack\" class=\"wp-image-34264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack-960x700.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack-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\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Desiccant silica gel pack\" class=\"wp-image-34264 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack-960x700.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack-150x109.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Desiccant-silica-gel-pack.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-8\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some moisture-absorbing products contain silica gel, rock salts, or calcium chloride, as do some dehumidifiers, for the simple reason that they do work well to reduce and remove moisture from the air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In general, these products, in and of themselves, are not recommended for large rooms such as your bathroom. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An exception would be if used as part of your dehumidifier or another product that uses these compounds as part of a container that, in effect, collects moisture from the surrounding area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clay Absorbers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Clay is another way in which to absorb moisture from the air, though its effectiveness is quite a bit lower than other methods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of clay is relatively inexpensive, less toxic than some other moisture-absorbing options, and can reduce the level of dampness in a small area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, for very humid locations such as a bathroom, it is not going to get the job done quite as well as you need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, essentially, moisture absorbers do indeed work. Whether they will work well enough for the size and humidity level of your bathroom is debatable.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One place that they do work well in a bathroom is on windowsills, especially if your windows are older or wooden. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can set a moisture absorber on the window sill, and it will help to keep the small area around your windows drier, with less condensation buildup as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Tackling Drafts to Help Reduce Moisture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It almost seems counterintuitive that an unsealed draft in your bathroom can lead to added moisture buildup, but it could be part of the problem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we are talking about drafts in the case of bathroom moisture, we are mostly addressing leaks that allow moist air to enter into the walls and ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When this happens, that moist air will enter into those areas and potentially cause damage.<\/strong> These are not necessarily do-it-yourself, fix-it problems, but ones that you may need to address with a professional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you notice mold forming in the attic above the bathroom, there is a good chance that the moisture from the bathroom is leaking into the cold attic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Excessive moisture in bathrooms, basements, and kitchens is a very common problem with bathrooms being one of the worst.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, there are ways to reduce all of that moisture. These might be simple steps like remembering to turn on the bathroom fan, keeping windows open, taking shorter showers and hanging towels elsewhere to dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More significant investments would include a high-quality dehumidifier, adding additional ventilation fans, or investing in warm edge technology windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start small first. You may be surprised as you discover that the simplest of steps will help to reduce discomfort and damage before you need to look into bigger, more extensive solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Too much moisture in the bathroom can make taking a shower feel like a chore.
