My shower is two sections with caulking in between. It is older and the mold has stained the caulking.

If you have not been able to remove the "stains" with a good solid cleaning, then chances are that due to the seal on the caulking no longer being effective, the mold has permeated behind and under the caulking.I would suggest that it be removed entirely, and new caulking installed. -

Instead of using bleach I use hydrogen peroxide. I even use it to kill mold on our bathroom walls. It works and keeps it away for a long time. -

If you have mold on your caulk chances are your seal has broken. Best to remove and re-caulk, let seams dry well before re-caulking or you will trap in moisture. If not, your walls will start absorbing the moisture then you will need more than a caulk job. -
