The lining on our shower is mold-infested. It looks like the mold is
behind the caulking (I've sprayed 409 and other cleaning agents to no
avail). I do not want to recaulk the shower. Is there a way to remove
it?

You can see what I'm taling about at these URLs (The pictures are a
bit blurry, but you get the idea).

The mold is behind the clear seal in my shower. The mold outside the
seal I can clean OK.

Found the Miracle Remover

"I had the same type of problem but with a fiberglass shower. I
replaced the caulk with "mold resistant" caulk and it came back within
months! I have used hundreds of dollars in cleaners (including ZAP),
scrubbers and homemade remedies, not to mention the amount of elbow
grease involved. I decided to take a chance on a commercial cleaner I
saw at Home Depot. It was less than $2 for the spray bottle. It is NOT
environmentally friendly, so take precautions when using it. It is
wonderful! It cleared the mold and mildew in two, five minute
applications with NO scrubbing! This small miracle is called
Commercial Zep Mildew Stain Remover and comes in a 32-ounce spray
bottle. Give it a try!"


Good luck to you,

The problem is that the mold is behind the seal, so it's hard for any
type of cleaner to get to it. I'm just trying to avoid having to
remove and re-seal my shower.

You'll have to remove the sealer and probably recaulk.
