Standing water can make bathroom floors slippery and damp. The US EPA emphasizes moisture control, ventilation and leak repair to limit mold. A floor squeegee helps remove water, but is not a solution to waterproofing defects or established mold.

1. Check the tiles and drain for debris or damage. Avoid cleaning over broken tiles or sharp objects.
2. Keep safe footing on wet flooring; avoid overreaching and consider non-slip footwear.
3. Slowly push standing water toward the drain using a rubber floor squeegee, not across the threshold into dry rooms.
4. Use a dry absorbent cloth for edges and corners; spread the used cloth out to dry afterward.
5. Run an exhaust fan or safely open a window to remove moist air. Ideally check that the fan vents outdoors.
6. If water keeps pooling or mold comes back, investigate drainage, leaks and ventilation with a property manager or professional.
