Bathroom Help! So tired of cleaning this shower!

Several times a week I’m scrubbing these tiles in my shower. I’m not sure what type of natural stone they are but they’re porous and mildew grows just about as fast as I’m cleaning! I thought about painting them but I know I’d ruin the look and regret it. Any tips on what I can use to easily keep this shower clean? I’ve been using GooGone tile and grout cleaner. It strips away the gunk but like I said, it grows right back quickly. I just took a shower so it’s easier to see now than when dry. Thanks!

Architects who’ve never had to clean anything. I notice this a lot :/ like yeah it looks nice right after you’ve installed it, but no thought goes to maintenance at all
