MOLD ATTACK Improving ventilation is the long-term solution, either by opening windows immediately after a steamy bath or shower, installing extractor fans, or fitting the room with wall vents so that steam and moisture can escape. Wiping away condensation will also help. Paint and grout is sometimes impregnated with fungicide.

FRESH AS A DAISY

To freshen the air in the bathroom and remove odors, make sure it has adequate ventilation. If necessary, open the window and try one of the following nontoxic air fresheners.

Position an open bowl with a quarter cup white vinegar on a high shelf.

Do the same with a bowl of clay-type cat litter.

Make a simple spray air freshener by combining one teaspoon baking soda and one teaspoon lemon juice in two cups hot water.

Scented candles can help to banish bathroom smells, even if they’re lit for only a short while.

Lemon essential oil kills germs and is fragrant. Add a couple of drops to the final rinsing water when cleaning the bathroom.

For an antiseptic air freshener, dissolve one-quarter to one-half teaspoon of any antiseptic essential oil (thyme, bergamot, juniper, clove, lavender, peppermint, rosemary, or eucalyptus) in one teaspoon rubbing alcohol, and then blend this with two cups distilled water in a pump spray. Use your customized air freshener on the fine-mist setting.
