I'm sure drying showers gets rid of some water but I'd have thought the vast amount of humidity was generated during the actual shower bit?
Idk about majority, but I almost fill our kasher vac thing with one shower. And push/wipe the standing water down the drain. All of that would have to be evaporated into the air to disappear. So it's a meaningful amount of moisture.
If you're susceptible to mould in certain places in your house then you usually need to employ a combination of factors. For me that has been:
- extra loft insulation over the bathroom
- anti mould paint
- window open during and after shower
- vac (or light squeegee if I'm in a hurry) after shower
- lights and fan left on for a good 10m post shower
Together the result is instead of continuous mould on the external celling wall and sporadic mould elsewhere, I now just have a couple of light occasional 2-3mm spots on some grouting on the cold wall, and a bit of build up on the window (which we're slack about cleaning). That's pretty easy to stay on top of whereas getting round to remember to spray antimould spray when the kids will be out for a full day, and wiping ceilings is a pain.
The proper solution would be to remove all the tiling and insulated the external walls. But that's basically a new bathroom.

Would be kind of interesting to record humidity after drying and on another day without and see what difference it makes but it's probably too hard to control for all the other things.
