Black mould in shower!

Mortified that this has appeared in our shower - it appears to be underneath a silicone (sort of?!) seal, so can’t get to it with cleaning products! Help! How do I get rid of this monstrosity, please? Thank you.

If it’s under the seal then only removing the seal will get rid of it.
If it’s stained the actual seal then Astonish Mold & mildew removes it. Spray it on, lay some toilet roll over it in a long strip then drench the toilet roll in the spray. Leave the soggy paper on as long as possible then rise off. It’s amazing.

I use white vinegar and a toothbrush.
gets rid of limescale as well.

This method also works with thick bleach - saturate the loo roll and leave for several hours (open a window)

This video changed my life, the seal in our shower was constantly going mouldy, we replaced it but same thing happened. Now whenever it pop ups I do this

Bleach makes it worse in the long run. Sorry for the DM link
