bathroom dirt...mold?

[slasor]

can any one advise on if this is just dirt or mold?
there are a few spots around the bathroom and i've tried using cillit bang, flash and a few other products. but i cant seem to shift the mess.

It's mould that's built up over time, and it's notoriously difficult to shift from silicone.
You might make a slight improvement by using bleach, but new sealant is the real answer......together with wiping the tiles dry after use.

If it's not ground in this will shift it.

You might get the mould off the grout, but I'd be surprised it you can shift it from the silicone. My brother-in-law's bath had a similar problem, not helped by his attempts to hide it with more silicone. I removed all the silicone for him and applied a new bead. If you are tempted to do this, it's not a quick job but WD40 will help to soften the silicone. I ended up removing it with a scalpel... Possibly you could just remove the affected section, and try to feather the new into the old.

Then have a look at your bathroom ventilation...

will work on the tiles first then can move onto stripping the silicon sealant around the bath (and anyplace else i find it)

thank you for that. didn't think about the sealant
