A lot of people are at a loss for how to deal with mold and simply choose to ignore it for the time being.

So if you’re planning on possibly remodeling your bathroom, look out for mold and fix the problem.It’s so Easy for Mold to GrowMany of us don’t realize just how easy it is for mold to grow. Mold spores are in the air, both indoors and out. Any moist spot gives mold spores something to stick to and a means to proliferate. Be on the lookout for leaky pipes, buckling flooring or walls and condensation. Flooding and spills should also be avoided.Fixes for a Moldy BathroomThe bathroom is by far the most mold-prone room in the house.
