What about bathroom
I've seen lots of bathrooms go moldy. Too often they aren't built to handle periods high humidity. That's why bathroom fans are a thing... They are even required by code in a lot of places, precisely to avoid humidify build up.
I used to do that. I'd turn the water heater all the way up and then start a shower as hot as it will go while leaving the fan off. -I had to eventually clean the ceiling of the bathroom with bleach-water to remove the water spots, though
How about the shower?
Go on
Take a nice hot shower for as long as you like and let the steam build up. Very relaxing, no additional equipment needed.
Isn't the same as a sauna tho...
You could get an extra shower curtain and hang it at the ceiling to help keep the steam inside the shower. Maybe stick a space heater in your bathroom if you want it warmer. I'd turn on the vent fan afterwards to help get the moisture out to decrease risk of mold.
