The Causes of Mildew<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moisture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, moisture is one of the main causes of mildew. Whenever a room has a high humidity level, mildew will form and spread. Whenever you have a shower, you\u2019ll notice the room gets moister. This is why turning the fan on after you finish is important as it eliminates the moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, your bath mat, bathroom rug, towels<\/a> and shower curtain will grow more mildew, so you must stay on top of cleaning duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is, our fast and reliable laundry services<\/a> are available to handle your laundry! We are just one click away so if you need your towels or bathroom mats washed, we will take care of it! No stains, hassle and no more mildew growing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darkness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darkness is also a cause of mildew growing. Places like closets, attics or rooms with little sunlight will grow mildew. We highly recommend you constantly clean your house and closets to prevent mildew from latching onto your clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure you keep the doors and windows open as this allows in natural light which eliminates mould and mildew. Good air circulation also helps to maintain a consistent temperature in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also recommend you air-dry your clothes inside out<\/a> facing the sunlight as this will eliminate any mildew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
