Mold in shower caulking

[Polletstream]

We were forced to live in our Airstream here in Houma after Hurricane Ida. No longer living in it but our shower has gotten moldy all around the caulking and I’ve tried all sorts of cleaners. It seems as tho it’s embedded under the caulking . Did anyone ever have issues with this? If so did they have to remove the silicone caulking and start with a new strip of it?

Try Brakleen...a good addition the the AS tool kit. Sooper cleaner will not damage the clear coat or painted surface. Evaporates quickly. Spray on a microfiber cloth & WIPE.

Before you do anything, spray a good amount of Tilex Mold Killer on all of it and see what happens. Just be careful not to get it on your clothes as it will spot. Go with the one on the Amazon link.

Best way to avoid mold in the shower caulk is to thoroughly dry the shower paying close attention to the caulk lines every time it is used. Over 450 Days/Nights in a 2019 FC 25 RBT and no mold. That is more than 900 showers as we are a couple. Once mold invades the caulk it is almost always a caulk replacement issue. Hope some of the other suggestions work.
