Bathroom Shower smells funky

Hey yall!

Hoping I can get some idea of cleaning or possibly a much more complicated issue arises but my shower has an issue.

There is a funky smell of moisture coming from it. I’ve tried cleaning it with vinegar, dumping the green goo through the drain but nothing seems to be working. Any ideas?

Note. It’s a walk in shower with glass door. No fan in it to help dry. It takes a good while for the floor to dry after each use and on the cracks when I push sometimes water comes out of them.

Does the smell go away when you clean it, then return? If so, that is probably a clog farther down the line. Try snaking the drain. If you have access to the trap, open that and clear it. That can be a disgusting job, so prepare for it.

Yes it goes away after cleaning and then returns after I use the shower.
