Are you seeing a patch of green or black in the corners of your shower screen or sliding glass door in Singapore? These patches are mould and mildew.
Mould and mildew are fungi that release microscopic spores in the air to reproduce. Mould and mildew usually grow in the shower because they thrive on moisture and organic matter! Showers become an ideal environment for mould because they are constantly damp and have organic matter, such as dead skin cells.
Mould can have health impacts on people sensitive to mould. They may experience stuffy noses, itchy eyes and skin, and wheezing. Black mould, a type of mould found in bathrooms, is more dangerous than the others. It can trigger allergy symptoms.
