Causes of black mould in the bathroom

Black mould in the bathroom usually develops from a combination of moisture and inadequate ventilation. Bathrooms are naturally spaces where a lot of water is used, creating conditions favourable for mould growth.

• High humidity: Showers and baths often leave moisture lingering in the room.
• Poor ventilation: When damp air isn't extracted properly, mould can develop faster.
• Irregular cleaning: Trapped moisture and dirt increase the risk of mould formation.
• Leaks: Prolonged moisture from leaking pipes or damaged sealant can encourage mould growth.

Prevent mould by ventilating well, drying surfaces and maintaining the bathroom regularly. We recommend ventilating your bathroom well during and after use, drying wet surfaces as much as possible and cleaning regularly with suitable products. Additionally, check for leaks periodically and always follow the manufacturer's care instructions.
