Those should have worked. It may not be mold. Try borax.
It may be time to remove the old grout and put in new grout. Be sure to use grout sealer this time!

I just had that same problem with a house I moved into. The last people must never have cleaned the shower. I finally had to remove the grout with a grout scraper and re grout it. Its quite easy to do if you by the pre mixed grout. Just scrape out the old stuff and squeeze in the new stuff. Your shower will be as good as new. Forget the mould remover, at this stage, it is not going to work. Good luck.
For those of you who would rather go the homemade route, you can clean the area with soapy water mixed with bleach. You can also make a paste out of some water, lemon juice and baking soda. Once you do this, you should apply the paste to the mildewed or stained area with a toothbrush and scrub away until it is shiny and clean. For those heavily stained or mildewed areas, you should mix a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water directly on the spot. Let it sit for about 20 minutes and then repeat the process. The stain or mildew should remove easily. Note: This method should only be used on plain not colored grout as it might bleach the color.
If you want to use a commercial product, go to Walmart and find a product that specifically cleans mold. Bleach alone usually doesn't work.
Once you have cleaned it, buy a sealer to seal the grout so that you have to clean less often.
