Bathrooms can be a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, especially with the presence of moisture and often, tight spaces. While your bathroom fan may help control normal odors, the real reason for an exhaust fan in your bathroom is to control the moisture. Odors, although embarrassing, will not normally damage your bathroom. Moisture, on the other hand, can cause a lot of problems for any bathroom. Fresh-air intake for a bathroom is key to avoiding moisture-related problems like mold, mildew and material damage. To be sure that you’re keeping your bathroom safe from damage and other risks, be sure that you’re keeping it well ventilated with a bathroom fan and these easy tips:

1. -Use the fan every time you enter your bathroom and leave it on for at least 20 minutes.
2. -Keep fresh air moving by leaving at least a half inch gap under your bathroom door.
3. -Install proper exhaust venting with smooth internal surfaces and few bends to ensure best air flow.
4. -Pick a fan motor to suit the size of your bathroom.
