Two or three applications and the mold is gone. Reapplications have kept it clean. I have used a 33% solution of bleach to water, sprayed down the silicone caulk with black mold and left to dry.

The only way to remedy this is to remove the old caulking and replace it. You can use a razor blade or scraper to remove the old caulking. Be sure to not scratch or damage the surface under the caulking. After you replace the caulking, hopefully with a mold resistant kind. Try to limit the moisture that sits in that area, i know it is a bathroom but mold loves moist, humid areas. If you take away the moisture that is half the battle. Hi Larain,

I tried bleach and several other cleaners such as CLR, etc. Nothing seems to even lighten the mold. Our contractor did not use a mold resistant silicone caulking because w/in 6 months to 1 year the mold was terrible. Thanks Larain What do you recommend to use to clean the calking?
