Default Touching up bathtub caulk

"
Did you wipe the tub and tile with bleach prior to caulking? *If not, I
would re-do the whole thing, as you are likely to have mildew growing
under thecaulk; will cause, at least, discoloration and constantly
fighting more mildew growth. *


There was no mildew on the old caulk, or anywhere else on the tiles or
tub. The tub was totally dry, since it hadn' t been used in several
weeks. I waited several days between removing the old caulk and
putting in the new. Do you still think I'll have a mildew problem?
