    Get a can of expanding foam and drill holes just big enough to for the noze just under the window ledge (if its plaster board), give it a good squit then repeat every 6 " or so.


    Gotta do this to my cheap ass windows.

    Is it just on the silicone? If so remove and fit anti bacterial silicone if your fussy!

    You sure it's not just condensation running down the window and wetting the woodwork? If it's a black mould that's more than likely what it is. If that's it then I wopuld scrape it clean with a sharp triangular pain scraper and put acrylic varnish on it. That type of varnish dries quickly and doesn't release fumes.
