While I'm sorting out the bathroom, here's another query...
Yet again, the silicone sealant in the shower needs replacing due to revolting buildup of black mould/mildew, and It Has Been Decreed that I need to scrape it all out and replace it. Yet again. :(
I remember posting about this godawful job before (actually about the best way of removing the old silicone), just checked and it was only 2 years ago (and the problems's already been back again for a very long time
Is there no definitive answer to stopping this from happening? I know I used fungicidal sanitary-grade silicone last time, but whatever brand it was, it was clearly rubbish. I can tell you - I'd happily pay 50 for a tube that was absolutely guaranteed never, ever to go mouldy.
I'm sure ventilation is an issue; there's a shower fan on over-run, and the door is always left open; but to be honest, I reckon that unless all the surfaces in the shower cubicle are wiped down and dried each time (not going to happen), it's always going to be at least a bit humid in there.
Would love to hear some recommendations
