Provided is a wet area member for use in an indoor wet environment, comprising: a base member; and an amorphous carbon layer formed on a surface of the base member and mainly containing carbon atoms, wherein the amorphous carbon layer further contains hydrogen atoms, and the amorphous carbon layer contains the hydrogen atoms in a predetermined amount or more and has a density lower than a predetermined value so as to be capable of inhibiting sticking of water scale for a long period. This makes it possible to obtain a wet area member which exhibits a high stain release property and a high stain release durability.
