I'm a 75 year old retired painter and decorator, I only ever found one thing that will remove and kill, stone dead, black mould: 'Borax', this can be purchased in powder form either on line or in many hardware stores, it's quite inexpensive and it definitely works, tip: if it gets into silicone sealant, nothing will remove it, you will have to remove then re-apply the silicone, if the mould gets a grip around a sink or shower tray, roll up and dampen toilet paper, lay this on the affected area, pour bleach on the paper and leave for 24 hours, bingo, all gone, thank you, you're welcome.

We got a Meaco arete dehumidifier as we were having bad mould issues in two of our bedrooms, its done a fantastic job after owning it for about 4 weeks the mould has now turned grey so is ready to remove from the walls, we leave it on for about 12 hours a day and it removes about 1.5 litres of moisture from the air a day, ours also has a HEPA filter so cleans the air as well.

Got to love the wet British weather!!

As a tip, put a strip of loo roll or kitchen towel over the silicone strip. Then spray with the anti mould solution.
Let it sit there for around 20 minutes and the roll then keeps the silicone wet with the mould killer.
When you remove the roll and wipe, the mould should be all gone.
EDIT, just realised Jimwalker has said the same!

The dehumidifier will definitely work after your cleaning off of the mould. If it's not too noisy leave each bedroom door slightly open when running it during the night.

Instead of silicon use BT1 no mould no cracking

Best product for mold is brand new on the market from Emperor paints, its exterior cleaner but has worked wonders on my interiors also always YES always open bathroom windows when bathing/showering and sponge down you walls after bathing fan fitted or not I wouldn't use a single product you've used TBH I've a 2 bed house I use an EBAC 4 bed house humidifier which is better looking less obtrusive than yours.
