you need to add ventillation to get some airflow in there. that way excessive moisture will be removed

dehumidifier?

we had moisture on most of our windows. picked up a dehumidifier from Costco, it takes care of the whole house just running it overnight.

That's a short-term solution.

What he needs to do is, like FoBoT said, is to add more ventilation to the room.

Who has their head in the toilet while posting on ATOT is what I want to know.

oh. we'll be using ours long-term, but whatever.

modern houses usually have an exhaust in the bathroom required by code, IIRC. perhaps the one in question is a bit older.

 

[ragazzo]

Install an exhaust fan. make sure it's powerful enough. They're rated by cubic ft.

 

[ragazzo]

Also pick up Tilelab Grout and Tile Cleaner spray for mildew prevention.

Yep, stop in Lowes or Home Depot. Depending on what size you need, it should run you $30-$80. They are also rated for for noise, the quieter ones cost a little more.

ive got an extra 120mm Vantec Tornado if you want it..

should beat those puny home depot fans. :heart:

 

[woowoo]

LOL!!! :laugh:

 

[Encryptic]

Dammit!

Everyone's missed the obvious solution here: Your uncle should immediately cease any and all attempts at personal hygiene.

No showers/baths = no steam = no problem.

Thanks, that'll be $50. Next customer in line, please.

yea, and from the post above yours it looks like they are going to continue missing it but thats ok too

:thumbsup: for uncles

 

[Kelemvor]

That's what vent fans are for in the bathroms. They aren't there to get the stink out (even though they help for that). They are made to get the humid air out when showering. Should run it when he showers and such and he won't get more.

As for getting rid of what's already there... Standard mold/mildew cleaner should work.

 

[leftyman]

still need advice
