Mold often lurks in the most unexpected places in your bathroom, silently thriving and potentially harming your health. Here's a breakdown of common bathroom items where mold can be found:
Shower Curtain & Liner:
Consider switching to a microfiber shower curtain that you can wash regularly with a non-toxic cleaner and EC3 mold solution. Opt for water-repellent fabric to reduce the areas where mold can colonize and grow.
Loofas, Scrubbers, & Cleaning Tools:
Replace loofas, scrubbers, or cleaning tools regularly and ensure they fully dry. Avoid leaving them in moisture-prone areas that can encourage mold growth.
Bath Mat:
Swap your bath mat for microfiber or, even better, a dry earth bath stone. These options are non-toxic, antibacterial, and dry within minutes. While bath stones may require a bit more investment, they effectively deter mold growth and bacterial buildup.
Bath Toys:
When choosing bath toys for your toddler, look for BPA-free, non-toxic, and airtight options. Rubber toys with holes can allow water to seep in, leading to rapid mold development. Make it a habit to frequently wash, fully dry, and replace these toys as needed to ensure your child isn't exposed to mold.
Toothbrush & Holder:
Toothbrushes can serve as a breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria, including mold. Consider using an electric toothbrush with a UV base, changing the brush head monthly. Swap out your toothbrush holder for a ceramic one with a dry earth base or a UV base for daily sanitization.
Towels:
Choose GOTS certified organic cotton or microfiber towels and ensure they are fully dry before folding or between uses. Regularly wash them with a non-toxic cleaner and EC3 mold solution or your preferred mold-reducing solution.
Toilet Brush:
Trade your plastic toilet brush for a non-toxic dry earth brush with replaceable heads. Plastic toilet brushes can harbor bacteria and toxic chemicals, and they can become messy, sitting in a pool of chemicals and germs, ultimately encouraging mold growth. A recommended choice is Full Circle's Scrub Queen Toilet Brush.
These seemingly harmless items could be silently hindering your health and well-being, potentially leading to health issues due to hidden mold contamination. It's essential to take proactive measures to address and prevent mold growth in your bathroom.
