Prevention is the key to keeping mold and mildew away. If your bathroom has a fan, always use it when taking a shower and keep it in on for a few minutes after your shower to get all the moisture out of the air. If you don’t have a fan, keep a door or window cracked to allow air to circulate.
Before stepping out of the shower, use a squeegee on the shower doors and walls. This keeps soap scum away and stops the moisture from lingering on shower walls -- double duty prevention!
If you do notice mold and mildew on tiles and grout, scrub it up right away. You can use hydrogen peroxide right from the bottle (it's light-sensitive so you want to keep it in the bottle) by just screwing a spray top on the bottle. Give your mold and mildew a spritz, let it sit for a couple minutes and then scrub it away.
Most importantly, keep the mold and mildew away with a weekly bathroom cleaning.
