Transcript

I finally found the cause of the mold in my bathroom. We've lived here for 8 months now and it's actually been so hard to keep it under control, but I couldn't figure out why. I thought maybe the exhaust fan was just dirty and needed a clean, which it definitely was, but I wasn't expecting it to be full of mold too. Apparently, they should be cleaned every 6 to 12 months, but I might need to do it a bit more often, it looks like. So let me know how often you do yours to keep them manageable.
