I have heard you can cut the mouldy bits out with a stanley knife, then re-grout the areas, I mentioned this to a friend and she said its to tricky is it that bad and could I mess this up.

you can get mould and mildew remover

also cilit lime and grime is very good at removing it as well

totally environmentally unfriendly of course ...

i'd have a stab at it with this
which seems to do our mouldy shower quite nicely...
they also do a grout whitener which basically covers over the mould pretty nicely too?!!

try those first, then you don't need to worry about regrouting (bigger job than it needs perhaps)

We get this. On days when im feeling all domestic goddess like almost never I like to attack it with a bowl of bleach and water and a toothbrush. The grouting comes up sparkling.

Yes the mould and mildew green spray stuff is good. Open the windows, spray it on, leave for a good hour or so.

And then plant some trees to offset your eco wrongdoings .

Domestos Grot Buster - someone recommended it on here and it works wonders.
