If its got into the silicon sealant then you have to take the old stuff off and reseal the bath - use the new anti mould stuff and you wont have any more problems xxx

After you've got rid of it, using one of the already recommended products such as bleach, you need to try & prevent it returning by keeping the condensation levels down in the bathroom. One way to do this is to open the window after you've had a bath & leave it open till the condensation is no longer visible on the window glass. Wipe around the bath after you've used it, so it's not left wet. You could also install an extractor fan.

Dettox mould and mildew cleaner is good, but it stinks the place out. Very strong smell of bleach - keep the windows open until you rinse it off. However, if it's too badly marked you'll have to replace the seal.

nicely i could eliminate mastic lower back for a initiate,use white spirits,paint brush cleanser or like maximum advise,bleach.. yet with which ever you go with for be careful on the tub. as quickly as you have completely wiped sparkling the two surfaces(tiles and tub rim)get your self down your interior sight DIY centre and get the spectacular product for the activity in hand:bathing room or sanitary mold resistant silicone no longer mastic.Or in case you have the money,they do sell a product that purely sticks on that does the comparable ingredient(no longer for me inspite of the shown fact that). ok,we could say you 've finished all that and that is all cured and touchable,now after or for the duration of using tub or bathe,open window or activate extractor fan,wipe down after every time you utilize them..optimistically which will help..

Neat bleach, but make sure you protect your eyes and hands. The best way to apply it is with a paint brush, as it wont run back down your arm. Rinse well afterwards.

Duck toilet cleaner is great on baths, it gets rid of everything even the limescale around old taps.
Happy scrubbing!!!
