Busy cleaning our new addition : 2008 Celtic Rambler. Any advice on how to get rid of mould impregnated into silicone around windows and doors and in the shower. Have tried Cif and bleach.
Also any ideas to clean staining on insect blinds on the windows?

The OP says "impregnated in the silicon". Not a great MH experience but 45 years in construction industry so would suggest total visible silicon removal along with impregnated mould. Then replace with mould resistant silicon. Try and find a trade product from your local plastics suppliers.

Over the years i have tried all the silicone they have brought out i.e. forever white etc and non of them work as they say they will.
They call them mould resistant, given the correct conditions mould will grow on just about anything.

Use a good quality silicone and keep it clean and dry down when you have finished in the bath or shower.

I tend to use dow corning its nice to use out of the gun and good quality.
