Is your child coughing or wheezing after a bath or shower?

There may be mold in the bathroom cabinets that have leaky pipes, in the shower stall, or on the walls or ceiling. Also look out for cockroaches or waterbugs.

In the Bathroom

  • Keep windows open and vent on when showering to prevent mold. Air out room after showering.
  • Clean tubs, sinks and places where mold and mildew collect.
  • Use an eco-friendly cleaner or diluted (watered down) bleach to prevent mold and mildew.
  • If kitty litter is kept in the bathroom, then clean daily.
  • Install cockroach gel baits under the sink.
