Yes, there are some simple daily habits or routines that can help your bathroom stays away from any bad smell, mold, and mildew.
Checking every corner of the bathroom regularly can also help you identify if there are any issues to fix. You can do this every two weeks or once a month.
Of course, this is one of the factors that play a big role when it comes to an enclosed room. Having a good ventilation system is important, whether it’s from the windows or exhaust fans.
If your bathroom has big windows, then you can just simply open them to let new fresh air enter the room. Meanwhile, if you use exhaust fans, you can turn them on for a while after showering so the dampness and moisture are sucked out.

Facing clogged sinks or drains alone is annoying, not to mention the smell that it can cause to the whole bathroom. There are several things that cause it like hairs, grease, conditioner, and soap residues. Resolve this issue with some simple steps:
Investing in a good bath mat is something optional but you can definitely consider it. There are tons of bath mats made of various materials but some of them didn’t absorb moisture well. Pick the one that can absorb water faster so it minimizes the chance of bad smells.
Another optional item that you can consider using is a room freshener such as a reed diffuser, automatic air freshener, or essential oil.
For reed diffusers and air fresheners, you can just put them in a spot where the air flows (windows or exhaust fans). As for essential oils, some people choose to put a few drops in the toilet tank.
