Moisture resistance for the bathroom is extremely important, because it not only affects the aesthetics but it also shortens lifespan of the interior. In particular, a clean and dry bathroom also helps to protect the health of family members.

As we all know, the bathroom is an area with low temperature and high humidity. With a discreet design, less ventilation, this is the ideal environment for mold to grow. The items or the furniture inside this area are also affected and reduced the longevity. Therefore, to effectively prevent moisture from bathroom, you can apply the following ways:

With the disadvantage of being pervious, wooden cabinets or cabinets with wooden legs used in the toilet are very susceptible to mold and rot, and when steam seeps in, the cabinet will be deformed. Consequently, you had better to use plastic or stainless steel cabinets to replace wooden ones. If using wooden cabinets, the legs should be made of stainless steel and about 25-30 cm from the floor.

2.Using baffles

Using tempered glass to separate shower area and toilet area is an effective method and being applied in many constructions. This solution prevents water in the bathing area from flowing into other areas, making the bathroom always dry as much as possible.

3.Using coffee grounds

Like charcoal, you can use coffee grounds or beans, then put them in a cloth bag and hang them in the bathroom. Coffee grounds can both absorb moisture and spread the aroma of coffee that overwhelms the unpleasant smell of the bathroom. Therefore, the bathroom is always in dry condition.

4.Using waterproof materials
