By their very nature bathrooms are prone to mildew as the air often becomes damp. Places where mildew will develop is on the grout between your tiles and in and around your shower.
Use an old toothbrush to scrub the mildew from the grout between your tiles. For more stubborn stains cover them with a paste of scouring powder that contains bleach, leave for a few hours, scrub and rinse clean. There are also many commercial products on the market that will kill mildew.

After you use the shower leave the door or curtain open. Wipe down the walls to dry them. Once they are dry close the shower door or curtain to allow that to dry also.

To clean a fiberglass shower cubicle dip a damp sponge into some Baking Soda (Bicarbonate of Soda) and wipe over the surfaces. Rinse and dry.

If you have developed mildew on your shower curtain. Simply soak it in the bath in a solution of 1 part domestic bleach to 4 parts water. Rinse well, then if the material allows it, machine wash.

You can also clean mildew, by wiping down with vinegar-soaked cloth.
