Default shower cleaning

Hi all,

So its about 8 years since the shower was installed and HWMBO wants it
thoroughly cleaned. I have got most of the calcium off the glass and
fittings etc, but the one remaining bit is a black deposit on the silicon
rubber around the shower basin where it connects to the tiling.

Bleach or the usual household cleaners won't shift it, either soaking or
scrubbing using an old toothbrush - any suggestions?

Thanks, Mike

After that length of time, I would remove the sealant and redo it. Stanley
knife, steady hand and silicone eater.

Christian.
