3] Using preventive maintenance such as a spray bottle to coat the surface when dry with a mixture of vinegar and bleach mixed with water [I know I said to remove all moisture] will help prevent the growth of mold. Vinegar is a great product to use around the house to clean many things too.
4] Ventilate the room well after a shower helps too.
Mold is pernicious if left in its best growing environment

We bought a 20” stand fan from Walmart, very inexpensive, and let that run in the shower to help dry it after use. No mold problems since.
