DREADED Black Shower Mould

I know there are some great old threads on general shower cleaning and mould removal but I'm looking for the BEST product or hack for specifically getting rid of black mould? Has anyone found a good, low chemical option? I'm not entirely against a nuclear option. Old fashioned elbow grease isn't getting me very far...and DH is nagging has politely reminded me a few times.

You have to make the paste really thick ime, I have have no problem with shifting mould from shower frame (the awkward bit in the door) the sealant, and the tiles. In fact it came up a treat. But I did apply it thickly -2 tubs of bicarb to do shower tray, sealant and door, it was a very thick paste and I applied it with a tooth paste. The bit which i did with a thin paste did not work so well. 2 months on and the sealant still looks almost new. 2hrs of stinking and cold was well worth not having to scrub it and the horrid chemically smells of the anti mould stuffs.

I do the cotton wool and thick bleach method. Left overnight. Works a treat.

Mine is actually underneath the plastic seal thingy at the bottom of the shower screen. Short of hacking it off, cleaning it and finding a replacement, does anyone gave any bright ideas ?
