Help with tiles/sealant

[kazchip]

Hi

I have recently moved house, and today I started sorting out the bathroom. It doesn't need any too major, apart from sorting the sealant out around the bath as it is skanky!

I have got all the old sealant off, and there is a rubber edging also (sorry I am sure it has a proper name). I can't get the edging clean, but I also can't get it off as it has been grouted into the tiles at the top and I don't want to damage them. It seems to be made of plastic or pvc - can I paint it before I redo the sealant, or is there anything I can use to get it clean that won't damage it?

Many thanks

Have you tried washing up liquid? I know that sounds daft but you'd be suprised how often that works.
