Plague?

What causes the black spots on the white silicone sealant in my shower cabinet? And how can I get rid of them? Rubbing and scrubbing seem to have no effect at all.

You can get sealer with that microban stuff in it now, which is supposed to prevent it (never tried it, so I don't know)

In addition to all the good answers a lot of people fail to carry out simple daily maintenance, i.e.always keep your bathroom windows open as long as is practical and wipe off the excess wet areas immediately after a shower. Yes I know it adds a little time and is a small chore but it is worth it in the long run.
