How Do You Clean Bathroom Sealant?

[dance2trance]

You know the sealant around the bath and bathroom sink? Well, how can I clean it when grubby? I know spray bleach does OK for this job but it degrades the sealant in due course. Does anybody have any ideas? White sprit? Soapy water? Bi-carb? Grateful for ideas. Thanks.

Notoriously difficult to clean silicone sealant. Best to wipe the surfaces each time after use, to keep it fresh.

You can only continue with the bleach and an old toothbrush for now. Eventually, the only solution is to cut all the old sealant out and redo it with a good sanitary, anti-mould sealant.

Some silicon sealants are paintable, if you know what type you have, then painting over it maybe a possible option

Thanks for the info. I will opt for careful cleaning and drying.

My next door neighbour who is a tilefixer swears by white vinegar.

Now white vinegar seems worth a try! Thanks.
