Preventing Mildew When No Electric Power
 

The electric company where I live has informed me that they are going to
be shutting off the electricity for most of this coming Tuesday.

That means we'll be showering and bathing in total darkness with the
bathroom exhaust fan not running due to no electric power.

I'm worried that this humidity and darkness is a setup for mildew to
start growing in the bathroom. (This actually happened to me once
before when we had a big power outage a couple of years ago.)

Anything I can do to help prevent that from happening until the power
comes back on?

You got to be really on the edge to start with to have a mold problem
due to less than 24 hours without power. Just leave the bathroom door open,
clean up after showers (you can't put off showers until the next day?) with
a towel. Clean the bath well before and after.

Leave the bathroom door open and do one or more of the following:
1) Check in to a cheap motel and use their shower.
2) Use lots of "Right Guard" and don't get too close to people.
3) Just go about your business and don't worry about it.
4)Tell everyone it's casual day and that means no showers.

You can rent a generator and hook it up to lights and fans.
