Hi,

I have black mould underneath the seal around the bath.

Any ideas of how to remove it?

Thanks

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.
