Hello!

Our shower floor is tiled and we don't get any mildew in the sanded
grout lines between the tiles, but we do have an unsightly amount of
mildew in the "silicon-ish" (not sure what the actual matrerial is)
caulking where the tiles hit the walls. I think I already know the
answer, but is there any miracle product that will get rid of that
mildew, or am I doomed to having to remove this mildewed caulking and
replace it with some mildew-resistant variety.

Thanks!

Chuck


It will be easier in the long run to remove the gunk, clean
immaculately, and replace with new silicone caulk. Make sure soap scum
and hard water deposits are removed, wipe down finally with bleach. My
troubles with cruddy caulk have been with mold/mildew beneath it, so no
way to fix but to remove and start clean. It is worth the effort.
