Any windows or such you can open ? We've an issue in our bathroom that we get little patches on the ceiling, as we didn't use bathroom paint this time on the ceiling - the paint get's damp. Going to re-paint it soon. Ventilation is the key.
I always have the bathroom window open when showering, unless it's very wet or freezing outside, yet unless my radiator's on high it still steams up. So bad in fact that I gave up after the first year of living here on repainting the bathroom walls. Do you like the mosaic affect?
That was supposed to be bathroom paint by the way. I paid decorators nearly £1000 to paint the whole flat we I moved in 4 years ago.

Thanks for the helpful replies, but I just cannot wipe my shower down. Seriously I don't want to fall or lose my grip. Believe it or not buying an unblocker has been on my mind all day, but when I got to the supermarket I couldn't remember what i had to buy, so I've come away without an unblocker!
You know this is Accy you’re talking to..?
Seriously, I have never heard of folk wiping down/cleaning showers after each use until posting this thread. I have an approximately 10 minute shower every night, usually between 10 and 11pm. Do I want to spend another 10 minutes every following day when it's dried cleaning it? I think my blitz it with bleach every fortnight is the best method.🧐
Then why bother asking people how to unblock the shower!

Agree but would do it the other way round, I use the spring first to get any hair or stuff out, then caustic soda and sometimes add vinegar but as someone else pointed out, don't stand over it while you do it, it aint nice!
I use something similar from Domestos
My bathroom gets black with mould. I had an extractor fan for decades, but even when left on from 7am to midnight it never made any difference, so I didn't bother replacing it when it broke down. Opening the windows helps if you don't mind a freezing cold bathroom and sky high gas bill. The problem is that the walls are solid, and stone cold, so by the time the steam has condensed onto them air ventilation makes little difference. Wiping the whole bathroom dry helps, but even if you don't have a bad back it's a 20 minute job, and it still doesn't stop the shower curtains going black. Getting mould off the shower curtains is inpossible, washing doesn't get it out, and soaking in a bucket of bleach for a week just turns the mould pink, and rots the nylon. New curtains only last a few weeks before they're black again.
That's not damp damage, that's because the walls weren't prepared properly before painting. It's what you get for paying a decorator rather than doing the job yourself.I always have the bathroom window open when showering, unless it's very wet or freezing outside, yet unless my radiator's on high it still steams up.
