Ventilation is most important for preventing mold growth in bathroom in your future, as mold is encouraged by the moist areas.

If you see any signs of leaking or damp then it might be a good idea in investing in sealing the gap to prevent future mold growth.

Regular cleaning

A filthy bathroom can build-up more bacteria and mold growth. Taking time and giving the bathroom a weekly clean can reduce the likelihood that you’ll ever have a mold problem. Make sure that you remove as much dust as you can as this is a food for mold and growth will increase. If you’re a lazy, then spraying a little vinegar around mold-prone areas will ensure that you never have a problem.

Mold resistant bathroom product, like paint, grout caulking, are becoming ever more popular in the market today. They may be a little pricey but can save you a lot of money in mold repair and removal bills.
