Nothing I've ever tried has worked  

There must be a better way of sealing tiles to shower tray?   [/quote]

THis was a problem with the shower I've just resealed. It had a couple of patches of black mildew in the corners of the previous silicon (which hadn't been done well IMHO because it left small shallows in the silicon where water wouldn't run off).

My approach was to aggressively remove as much of the old silicon as possible. Then I gave it some heavy swabbing with bleach. Then used silicon remover overnight. Methylated spirit to clean everything up (mental note: not a good idea in an enclosed shower area - hic!). Then silicon. Then quadrant all round to cover that silicon. Then finish the quadrant with silicon.

Now if any of these blasted microbes manage to survive that little lot I'm gonna get worried that we've good a new super-microbe on the loose.....
