Why does my bathroom have a mildew smell?

Mildew is a living mold that lives on the dark, moist interior walls of shower and bath drain pipes. Mildew regenerates by releasing microscopic seeds called "spores." Negative air pressure from the bathroom vents and even a single toilet flush can drive these unhealthy spores airborne. Rising up from the bathtub drain, the spores infuse the bathtub, tiles and shower curtain with a musty mildew odor. Click here to read more Frequently Asked Questions.
