After showering, do you want to get into a cozy towel as quickly as possible? To prevent mold and limescale stains, stay in the shower for 30 seconds longer and do one thing.
Admittedly, unplugging the shower stall doesn't exactly feel like a time saver. Plus it's not much fun. Nevertheless, you shouldn't skip drying your shower because it has a lot of advantages.
Instead of a shower squeegee, which is specially designed for this purpose, you can of course also use a towel or cleaning cloth. The only important thing is that you dry the shower after each use. This way you avoid extra work and prevent health risks.
Stripping the shower walls prevents mold
The cozy, warm bathroom is the purest oasis of well-being for many people - but unfortunately also for bacteria and fungi. Mold particularly likes the remaining water vapor after a long shower and the resulting high humidity. This causes them to spread into joints or on the window frame and create unsightly black spots.

Mold in the shower doesn't just look unsightly: it can also have serious consequences for our health. If the mold spores mix with the steam when showering and we inhale them, in the worst case scenario they can cause respiratory diseases.
But you can prevent it with a simple and quick routine. All you need is a squeegee to remove the glass walls or tiled shower walls after showering.
Pulling off the shower takes just 30 seconds and effectively reduces the humidity in the cabin. There is less humid air in the bathroom, which prevents the formation of mold.
Drying shower walls prevents limescale deposits
Even if limescale is not as harmful as mold, it is still annoying. Especially in areas with hard water, it's hard to keep up with cleaning and stubborn limescale deposits quickly form that can only be removed with aggressive cleaners and a lot of scrubbing.
It's more relaxing to invest half a minute after each shower and remove the remaining moisture with the squeegee. Although the moisture on the shower walls evaporates over time, the limescale remains in those areas. The result is often dull looking tiles and unsightly stains.
By thoroughly cleaning the shower cubicle after every shower, you will have to clean it less often.
You see, a small change in your shower routine can save time and stress.
