I’ve found over the years that a quick spray with diluted bleach or a cleanser with bleach after each cleaning keeps that mildew at bay. Cleaning shower walls is always a challenge (if you are trying to keep dry while doing it). If you wipe down the walls after each shower with a dry cloth, you can clean less often.

Really, all you have left, if you are lucky enough not to be home, are the clothes on your back and the things you had with you when you left to run that errand, go on that visit or go to work.
