What’s more, apart from popping your cleaning clothes into the salad spinner, you can also add small textiles, like face cloths. So, instead of providing an ideal environment for mold, mildew, and bacteria to grow, which can then cause skin issues like rashes and irritation, using a salad spinner will banish the problem.

I’m not suggesting you use the same salad spinner as you use to dry your salad, but it’s a good way to repurpose the one that you are replacing.

Alternatively, you could purchase a salad spinner for use in the bathroom only. OXO Good Grips’ small salad spinner is a good choice, and it’s $27 at Amazon. However, if you’d prefer to use a gadget with a sleek stainless steel finish, CoreGourmet’s salad spinner, available for $35 at Amazon, could be just what you need.
Apart from removing the water from your small textile items, using a salad spinner is fun and rewarding when you see the amount of moisture that is extracted.

I use a similar device at my local pool to remove water from my swimming costume once I’ve completed my laps, and I have to say, it always makes me smile every time I use it.
Houseplants can help too
Another alternative way to prevent mold and mildew growth is to add a peace lily to your bathroom. This popular houseplant is known to absorb excess moisture through its leaves, thrives in areas with high humidity, and prefers shade — making it the perfect partner for bathrooms.
