Causes of moulds
Fungi in the bathroom often arise from high humidity and ventilation, causing moisture to build up. Leaks can exacerbate the problem and make the solution more complex.
(Condensation) moisture
Een hoge luchtvochtigheid in de badkamer ontstaat door dagelijks gebruik van douche en bad. Wanneer de ruimte niet goed wordt geventileerd, slaat waterdamp neer op muren, plafonds, ramen en spiegels.
Especially rough materials such as untreated walls and ceilings provide a perfect breeding ground for mould. Even smooth, plastered surfaces are not completely immune to condensation and mould growth.
Leaks
Besides moisture and condensation, a leak can cause mould. Leaks often occur around the shower tray, bathtub, toilet, drain or even in water pipes near exterior walls.
This makes the problem more serious, as the leak needs to be repaired before the mould can be effectively removed.
The consequences
Mould in the bathroom seems harmless, but it can lead to persistent problems. A lick of paint only temporarily masks the problem; the mould remains present and spreads. This can negatively affect both your home and your health.
Property damage
Untreated mould can cause permanent damage to walls, ceilings and wooden surfaces. This leads not only to an unpleasant appearance, but also to structural problems and depreciation in the value of your home. Moreover, long-term mould can require expensive repairs.
Possible health issues
Mould can have a negative impact on your health. The air can become contaminated by mould spores, which can cause symptoms such as sore throat, tightness of the chest or fatigue. For people with allergies or respiratory diseases, such as asthma, the effects can be more severe.
Always consult a medical specialist in case of complaints and check reliable sources such as GGD Leefomgeving or RIVM for more information.
THE solutions!
You can fight mould in the bathroom yourself or have it treated by a professional. It is important to choose the right approach depending on the extent and severity of the mould growth.
Removing it yourself
Home remedies such as baking soda, vinegar or bleach can help with incipient mould. Soda is mild and safe for small amounts of mould, while vinegar can be effective against mould in the shower. Bleach works well for mould on joints and sealant edges, but has caustic properties and can damage surfaces.
Always remember: Never remove moulds dry to avoid spreading spores, and wear protective clothing such as gloves, goggles and a mouth mask.
Call in a specialist
Does the fungus keep coming back or is it in an advanced stage? Then it is wise to call in a specialist. Experts have the knowledge and equipment to tackle the cause of the problem and provide a lasting solution.

Schimmels herkent u aan afwijkende kleuren, een bijzondere structuur of een muffe geur. Zwarte schimmel is het meest voorkomend in badkamers, zichtbaar als donkere vlekken met een sponsachtige structuur.
Witte schimmel is zeldzamer en lastig te zien op witte tegels, maar heeft een pluizige uitstraling. Roze of oranje schimmel verschijnt vaker op muren, plafonds of douchegordijnen en heeft een slijmerige of droge textuur.
The most common locations are the kit edges, joints between tiles and near the shower drain. The shower head, shower curtains and the inside of the shower stall are also sensitive areas.
Furthermore, mould often occurs near or on the tap, around the toilet and on bathroom tiles, walls or ceiling. Even under the bath mat or near the exhaust valve and window frame, mould can form.

We do not recommend removing mould yourself. According to the RIVM and the GGD, mould can cause health problems. Moreover, the cause remains, so the mould quickly returns.
Yes, but we do not recommend this! Before you paint over it, it is important that the mould has been treated and removed. Do you not do this? Then the mould will quickly come back and go through the paint.
No, mould does not disappear on its own! Although less moisture can slow the growth, the spores remain present and can multiply again with an increase in moisture.
Does mould keep coming back? Then there is probably an underlying moisture problem. This could be due to insufficient ventilation or leaks at the sink, bath or shower tray, for example. Solve this first to fix the problem permanently.
