Most houses are incredibly leaky/drafty (at least in the US), turning on your bathroom fan(s) a few times a day is an easy way to improve ventilation.

  Consider replacing the builder grade bathroom fans first, however. The typical ones you'll find are very energy inefficient, intentionally loud, but move relatively little air. They're also probably caked in dust further reducing effectiveness. While you're at it, make sure the fan is not venting into your attic space (I don't think there's any climate where that's still acceptable, but could be wrong).

    > While you're at it, make sure the fan is not venting into your attic space Why wouldn't you vent to the attic? Attics are basically "hat that sits on top of your house" They are purposefully drafty areas whose main purpose is to keep rain off your ceiling.

      If the air from within the house is pushed into the attic and that attic is cooler, moisture may condense and collect before being circulated out of the attic space. Could lead to mold issues, etc.
