Tampa Bay humidity is great for palm trees and not so great for bathrooms and closets. A few habits help a lot.
Bathrooms
- Run the exhaust fan during and after showers
- Squeegee shower glass and walls
- Leave the shower curtain spread out to dry
- Wash bath mats and towels often
Closets and laundry
- Avoid packing closets tightly so air can move
- Never leave wet laundry in the washer
- Keep the washer door open between loads
AC and vents
- Change AC filters on the schedule your system recommends
- Dust vent covers and returns
- Keep indoor humidity in check with the AC or a dehumidifier
If you spot mold that keeps coming back or covers a large area, contact a mold specialist. Regular cleaning helps with surface mildew, not the source.
