Getting rid of mould has never looked more beautiful.
In every home, the bathroom is one of the hardest working rooms that is in use pretty much constantly. The moisture-filled spaces can quickly become a hotspot for condensation, leading to mould and mildew if left unattended. This can be damaging to your health, and cause expensive damage to your home, so build-up is never something that you should ignore.
Prevention is nearly always better than a cure, so experts recommend that you consider placing one of these stunning houseplants in your bathroom, because of their ability to remove moisture from and "purify" the air. Not only that, but they make gorgeous additions to any home and will help create a tranquil and zen atmosphere in your bathroom.
As reported by The Express, the experts from Mira Showers recommend that adding any of these four beautiful houseplants to your bathroom can seriously minimise your risk of mould growing. "Because the bathroom is often the most humid room in the house, mould and mildew is a common problem that many – if not all of us – have experienced at some point, mainly caused by lingering moisture, leaky taps, and damp cellulose materials," expert Kerry Hale explained.
English Ivy
First up, Hale advises adding English Ivy to your bathroom, the staple plant has the ability to get rid of nearly 80 percent of mould in the air, due to it's powerful purifying properties. They prefer to be placed in a pretty light spot and if you keep the soil moist with regular watering they will absolutely thrive in your home.

Next, the expert recommends the stunning peace lily, which adds a peaceful and understated charm to your home - all while purifying the air and ridding your home of excess moisture. These plants aren't pet friendly, so it's best to keep them out of reach of any animals, and they will thrive best in a darker spot, out of direct, bright sunlight. Generally, they are low maintenance, but make sure you don't overwater these plants, and instead giving them a drink sparingly.

The third plant Kerry recommends is the gorgeous Boston Fern with it's delicate evergreen foliage and second-to-none ability to remove moisture from the air. This one prefers not to be in direct sun, but still needs indirect light, and is a great choice for novice plant parents as it doesn't need much TLC.
Finally, you could opt for the stunning Tillandsia. This one is happiest in a window where it can take in a lot of sunlight, as it takes in moisture through its unique foliage.
