Ask Mrs. Clean: House Cleaning, Stain Removal and Organizing Tips

[motherlylydia]

Alright, you get out off the shower and the rug in the floor is wet. what do you do so it wont mold or stink. I layed down a dry towel also, but it seem to get soaked also. I thought about getting another dry towel and just soaked up all the water and put carpet power on it. Does this sound like a good idea? If you have a better idea plz do tell. Thank you take care.

Personally, If it's so moist or damp in the area already as to make me concerned about mold, I'd actually hang a towel over the shower glass or curtain rod and dry off in the shower before I step out of it.


A dry towel which can be frequently changed is also helpful to remove moisture, I would definitely not use carpet powder without vacuuming it up to remove completely.

A build up of damp carpet powder might cake up and cause you even more issues.

You can also help reduce mold in the bathroom by slightly cracking a window to keep the air circulating. Mold growth is encouraged by damp, warm and dark environments.



Good luck to you!

Mrs Clean!

Hi
To me it seem like you are taking a shower with no shower curtain, or your shower curtain is not tucked in, while you are taking a shower, I recommend since your floor rug is getting wet, that you invest in a rubber bath mat and put that in front of the place were you are taking a shower, put a towel over the rubber bath math and that should keep your rug from getting wet, I also would recommend that you even get a longer shower curtain and a nice thick liner this will also help eliminate the possibility of you damanaging the floor. Good luck and hope this information is helpful

Even though we don't experience a lot of mold in our area outside the house, bathrooms are always a bad source. Keep your plastic shower curtain liner inside tub while showering and let it dry off before putting on outside of tub.
