My bathroom does not have a good ventilation and the water accumulates as little pools on the floor of the shower. I clean the floor with bleach, but the mildew is still there. What can I do to get rid of the mildew? Are there products or other ways to help?
If you own the home, I'd think about venting the bathroom either through the roof or an outside wall. You can check out vent kits at places like Home Depot or Lowe's.
I had a similar problem in my manufactured home. The back bathroom was between two bedrooms. Take a hot shower and the steam moved into whichever bedroom door was opened. Since it was just my husband and I in that home, I pulled the fixtures and turned that bathroom into a storage area. I love it.

Try making a paste of water and powdered dish washer detergent, rubbing it into the spots, and letting it sit overnight. Scrub spots with a nylon scrubby, and rinse well. To prevent more mildew, sweep the water on the bottom of the stall into the drain. You could get a plastic bristle broom or long handled plastic bristle brush and keep it just for this purpose. Or you could keep a couple of old towels to wipe the floor of the shower with after use.

Try making a paste of Comet, rub it in and wait a while, then rinse. Keep applying until the mold disappears, I love the Mr. Clean erasers also for scrubbing. Hope this helps!
