Tilex works good to remove mold. What is the "seal" around your bath? You mean the caulk at the base of the tile / top of the tub?

Thank you for the quick response. I live in the Middle East so not sure if we can find Tilex here. I will check.

and yes it is the sealant below tiles and above the bath

I get mold there occasionally too, I have found wiping it with a towel after a bath or shower helps as the water just sits there.

I think you will find bleach in the middle east just like here. Try a 1:1 ratio of bleach to water, allow to sit for 5 minutes before rinsing. Tilex is great because it does smeel as strong as straight bleach so I agree with amricca.
