I would like to know if any of you know what the healthiest  type of material to

use for bathroom walls? We are remodeling a basement bathroom because a few

years ago we had mold there when we bought it. Then we left it alone for another

few years and now we are trying to get it done. I have mold and MCS so it is a

challenge to find things that will work and not bother me. We decided to use a

claw tub so that there air ciruculation under it. But we have to figure out what

to use for the walls that would work for mold/ moisture control and would not

give off chemical fumes. So far we have thought of sheet rock and then some type

of laminate on top. But I am not sure about the sheet rock. Does anyone know if

they get moldy  easy? If the ones that are " mold resistant " would give off

chemicals as well? Is there any where where I could go to get some informations

on this? What do people do when they want natural products and yet want to make

sure that they

will be able to keep the mold controled? or moisture so that there is no mold

control? We have a fan, small window and we intend to wipe after every shower.

Our house is over 50 years old and the previous owners did not keep it

ventilated enough so that there was mold. We did a lot of work and removed

carpets, linoleums, etc. We have a bare cement floor now that we are also trying

to figure out what would be the best flooring to  put in there that would handle

the moisture that comes from a basement floor. Any ideas there too? We have

checked linoleum( not vinyl), tiles and cork so far. We live in Eastern Wa. and

it is semi dessert so we do not have a lot of humidity but enough to have mold

if a house is not properly managed.

Any websites, books, people that you could guide me to? Thanks for all the info.

you all send. It is really a great blessing and makes life so much easier to

know others out there are there fighting the same battle and willing to hear you

and help you.
