Is Your Bathroom Steaming Up?

9 July 2026

At this time of year, many homes struggle with bathroom mirrors steaming up, which can be frustrating when you are trying to get ready in the morning.

Before replacing anything, there are a couple of simple things you can check.

1. Check Your Extractor Fan Grill

Is there a build-up of dust on your extractor fan grill?

If so, use a vacuum cleaner to quickly remove the dust build-up. This can help your extractor fan operate more effectively and improve airflow in the bathroom.

2. Warm the Bathroom First

Steam is created when warm, moist air meets cold surfaces such as mirrors, tiles and walls.

By warming the bathroom before you shower, those cold surfaces are less likely to attract condensation, helping reduce steam and moisture build-up.

Still Having Issues?

If these simple tips do not make a difference, it may be time to consider a new bathroom extraction fan solution.

AB Electrical can recommend an extraction fan setup to help reduce moisture, improve ventilation and make mornings less frustrating.
