Hi The white rubber grouting around my bath has gone black and mouldy looking in a couple of places.
I have tried white vinegar and baking powder - no luck.
Any ideas would be gratefully welcomed.

Remove it and put some new bath sealant on. It's not a difficult job, the hardest bit is getting the old sealant off.
Hi canta, try a good bleach left on with a wet cloth placed over the area to keep the bleach on the stain,then rinse thoroughly. I bought Dettol mould & mildew remover which is good, but on stubborn marks it will not take it away. Unsure though whether neat bleach will harm the rubber, I do use this method though!
I agree with toltol, remove it and replace. I had some ghastly sealant that I had tried to clean time & time again so I dug it all out and replaced it and it looked great. not a quick job digging it all out but worth it in the end. Just make sure it is really clean and dry before renewing.
