Bathrooms produce a lot of water vapour during use, such as showers and bathtubs, and this water vapour cannot evaporate quickly enough, leading to an increase in air humidity.

Moulds require a certain temperature to grow and bathrooms are usually kept in a relatively warm state, which provides a good environment for moulds to survive.
3. Lack of ventilation
Bathrooms are often poorly ventilated, making it difficult for moisture to escape, and water tends to pool on the walls and floors.
4. Insufficient light
Moulds grow better in dim environments Bathroom light is usually weak, favouring mould reproduction

Bathroom tile seams, sealant rings, shower curtains, etc. tend to accumulate dirt and moisture, and are more likely to harbour mould if not cleaned properly.
