Hi. Yes, that is what we have been doing. We leave it open for hours on end but for some reason is is not sufficient. Another difference is that the room has gone from half tiled to fully tiled. Not sure if that would make a difference.Open the window when you shower and leave open for 5 mins afterwards. Simples.
No, no fan, just a hole to the outside.Sounds like you had a fan with (behind) the vent and it no longer works to push the condensation out quickly
Thanks. We have had a go at cleaning it away and are now just trying to understand the problem. Definitely anti-mould paint next time.Would have thought that the window open would be sufficient provided its left open for long enough certainly not just 5 mins.
You should be able to clean the mould away with something like Domestos bleach and be careful to wear gloves and perhaps eye protection when doing so. Clothes can get destroyed quite easily too so wear old stuff.
You could then try painting the area with anti-mould paint.
Yes. It would have allowed humid air to escape. Now it’s trapped and condenses on surfaces.I'm thinking of having a tile removed and the vent reinstalled but I don't understand the science behind it. Would the vent have made that much of a difference when we have the window open most of the time?
A fan is good but absolutely no substitute for wiping down surfaces immediately after shower and opening a window for five minutes.A more powerful fan will help; but also bear in mind that the fan has to pull in dryer air from somewhere - if you have the door & window closed and there's no vent over the door, the fan won't work well.
My 2c worth. The above is the only way to go. firstly because it it what was changed,(which therefore caused the issue).I'm thinking of having a tile removed and the vent reinstalled but I don't understand the science behind it. Would the vent have made that much of a difference when we have the window open most of the time?
