Mold on bathtub sealant?

Any suggestions on how to remove this, or is digging it out and re-sealing my only choice? I've tried the usual mold cleaners, but there's a tenacious patch right in the corner that just refuses to die.

Never got anything to work apart from removing and redoing.

Dettol mould stuff. In lots of supermarkets.

Have sprayed it on today whilst at work and DA NA! All gone.

It stinks and hurts my eyes, lord knows what's in it.

Grot buster is what you need. I had exact same issue. Worked a treat.

Agree with Panzee. I used this last night and got nearly all my mould off. Just need to reapply to a couple of small patches that were really bad to finish the job off but most of it is perfectly white again.

Dettox brill.for this. Will completely remove it. Be careful of getting it on skin,eyes etc.WowOoo is right-will sting eyes just by spraying it. Leave a window open.
