Silicone is designed to provide a waterproof seal between the tiles and the bath, shower or sink in the bathroom.
However, due to its porous nature, mould can build up, leaving it black or even red with limescale.

More than 100 group members commented on the post, all sharing their top tips and tricks.

The cleaning fan recommended spraying it onto the affected area and leaving it for a few minutes before wiping it off.
Ashley added: “No need to scrub, just watch the mould melt away. I wipe or rinse the area afterwards and make sure the room is ventilated as it’s strong.”
Paula Little said: “HG mould spray every time, it’s fantastic and will get rid of any mould in your bathroom, I use it for all my clients.”
HG Mould Remover can be purchased from a variety of retailers for around £5 a bottle.

The description reads: “HG mould spray destroys all moulds immediately and easily. It is a self-acting cleaner that deals quickly and effectively with unhealthy black mould stains.
“These dirty black mould, damp or mildew stains often occur on the silicone seals between the bathtub and tiled wall, in the shower cubicle or on plaster.
“This produces black stains that are bad for your health. HG mould spray removes these stains quickly and easily. Suitable for tile and silicone joints and plasterwork.”
According to the company behind the spray, it helps to “destroy the most stubborn mould” and can show results “within 30 minutes”.
The product can also be used to target grout discolouration, but make sure to ventilate the area.
Other recommendations included white vinegar and baking soda but many people said they had “no luck” with these two natural options.
Jessie Lister wrote: “I’d recommend redoing the silicone, you can buy a bottle for about £10 and a scraper for a few pounds.
“It takes a few watches on YouTube to know how to do it correctly but I often find silicone mould doesn’t come off.”
