I would add that after clearing the old caulk to wipe the area down with alcohol or any disinfectants. That will at least delay molds from coming back.

@yesmaamjewelry 15 дней назад

I recommend a product called Concrobium

I’m glad I could be of help my friend! 👍🏽🙏🏽😊

@carolinejohnson22 Месяц назад

I squirt gel bleach around the caulk so it never gets mouldy, leave it a little while and shower it off. Also keep the bathroom window open to let the steam out when you have a shower or bath 😀🇬🇧

@proddarunner Месяц назад

Thanks for the tip on caulk be gone. WOW! What a time saver this will be.

@FixThisHouse Месяц назад

You are so welcome! 🙏🏽

@powerflex500 Месяц назад

When I caulked my bath tube/tile joint, I used silicone, 100% waterproof and it eventually started growing mold anyway. These manufacturers promote unproven results just to sell their products.

@Residew 15 дней назад

Silicone caulk is mold resistant not mold proof. Really, anything can host mold in a damp dark environment. Best way to completely remove mold from your existing caulk without having to overhaul it is make a thick paste of sodium bicarbonate and bleach. Brush onto the surface of the caulk and cover either cellophane wrap sp the bleach doesn't dry out. After 24hr remove cellophane and rinse away. Mold free. If you need video reference there are a handful of vids on RU-vid demonstrating this procedure.

@MattHmm-rq6dn Месяц назад

Biggest tip I can give anyone caulking is to never use the tip cutter on the gun itself. Always cut the smallest tip possible to poke. I generally do a sharp angle on one side bland cut a back angle on the opposite side so when your filling holes it dosent explode out the sides the back gives it relief. Never used a caulk remover just use a blunted/rounded super flexible scraper never stiff don't want to dig into the porcelain.

@hniccasanova Месяц назад

Question….which blunted/rounded super flexible scraper are you talking about ? Thanks in advance.

@MattHmm-rq6dn Месяц назад

Take a look at your local home store feelcthe tips of the putty knifes some are razer sharp like the stiff ones. My local lowes has made in USA werner ones that have a soft rounded edge. I think on az werner makes my favorite full flex 3/4in puddy knife with a brown handle that works great. Painter's Series, 504. Stiff digs flex is safer.

@MendeMaria-ej8bf Месяц назад

Thank you for your tutorials. Amazing how you removed the mould. I'm in Europe and need to find similar products to those you suggest. The ones I had bought didn't do the job.

@caliinthevalley24681 Месяц назад

Thank you!🙏🏽 ❤

@Dbb27 20 дней назад

There are plastic razor blades that are awesome. They can be used on glass, metal, painted surfaces with no scratches. Both HD and Lowes carry them usually in the paint section. Sometimes you have to hunt for them. For caulking corners I first do the ends of the tub with painters tape, let it dry and then do the back. Nice clean corners by not trying to do it all at once. Never heard of caulk B gone before so very excited to try it.

@ozziestrom9793 Месяц назад

In my shop I have a small refrigerator that I keep open tubes of all types such as caulk, silicone etc. plus unclean paint or stain brushes wrapped in Saran wrap knowing I'll be using them soon.

@LewWalker-ew8bd Месяц назад

I would warn that when using metal scrapers to remove the caulking, don't over apply pressure, or you might damage the porcelain higher/lower than the caulking line. IMO

What kind of gloves do you use when caulking

@ivonnebeltran1633 Месяц назад

Can you use that around the Stainless steel sink and your granite?

@cheapchip Месяц назад

Does the Caulk Be Gone work on 100% silicone?

@sunflower6434 Месяц назад

This makes sense, my husband kaulk our kitchen tiles, right at the back of the tap and guess what, that is the only place mould grows 110%. And the same regarding the shower.

@MizzNita10 Месяц назад

A clear caulking/layer was added to the corners of going up the wall in my shower. Can I use the same process to replace it?

@stopdrinkingleftskoolaid6510 Месяц назад

Are there any specialty tool that help you caulk behind faucets where you can’t get the nozzle down to keep the line straight?

@chinga7264 Месяц назад

@dougschadel8094 Месяц назад

I usually put a nail in the caulk tube then pull it out when ready

@Dbb27 20 дней назад

I do the same. Or a big screw. Holds it fresh for months.

@Jretropie Месяц назад

can this caulk remover works on sillicone caulk?

@brianwarner308 Месяц назад

I can definitely see how putting a rubber on your caulk will save you some money down the road…

@grateful7785 Месяц назад

This is exactly what I needed to see. My husband used to take care of stuff like this. And now, it's all me. I have a lot to learn and feel overwhelmed with things to fix around the house. Next on my list is how to fix the toilet from running. Do you have a video for that? 😆 Thank you for your help. Oh! Do I really need to buy a caulking gun? Couldn't I just squeeze tube, is it too hard?

@erichandyauto Месяц назад

Squeeze tubes work fine. No caulk gun is needed.

@loug8186 Месяц назад

There are smaller squeeze tubes to buy, the larger tubes u do need a caulking gun

@abunchahooey 29 дней назад

If the caulk you want to use come in a squeeze tube, yes it’s ok to use. If the caulk you want to use only comes in a round, hard tube, you’ll need a caulk gun.

@grateful7785 29 дней назад

@vincentwilkes9611 Месяц назад

Does it take off silicon caulk also?

@60trickpa Месяц назад

take some sandpaper bend it at a 90 degrees and hold it against the wall and tub. Then slide the tip of the tube along it so now the tip fits the angle between wall and tub

@R__T Месяц назад

You should never use your finger after application. You compromise the structure of the silicone by flattening it. There are cheap tools to maintain an exact angle giving you a much stronger seal integrity. You should also always degrease it. Denatured alcohol is great and kills off any remaining spores and bacteria that could compromise the new seal from the inside out.

@kathydavis5548 Месяц назад

Me too! Mine is loose where it attaches to the tub.

@mse1333 Месяц назад

So does this work only on acrylic? Or silicone as well?

@FixThisHouse Месяц назад

Should work on acrylic as well 👍🏽

@proddarunner Месяц назад

Do you have to be careful where you use the "caulk be gone" so it doesn't damage the material it is on?

@FixThisHouse Месяц назад

It’s very forgiving, if you leave it for 2 hours and less than 6 hours you should be ok 👍🏽 I’m not sure on wood though.

@lindabradford9591 16 дней назад

I used cotton balls and bleach to remove the mold. No more removing and replacing caulk. But i finally replaced it with silicone caulk.

Product for “latex” caulking not silicone or urethane caulkings

@billbarbour3351 Месяц назад

If you have to scrape it... save your money and just use a scraper to begin with. I have always used a razor blade on bathtub chaulk.

@MattHmm-rq6dn Месяц назад

Anyone looking for the best caulking guns in the market tajima are extraordinary good quality I don't much care for newborn after using a tajima.

@flowersandphilosophy1029 Месяц назад

Thanks for your advice about the product and methods. HOWEVER, you skipped a step! The area where the old caulk was and the adjacent grout still have mold! It must be bleached and thoroughly dried prior to applying new caulk.

@annas7715 Месяц назад

Caulk (new or old application) won’t fix poor tile shower and bath surround construction.

@12345678971926 Месяц назад

You know it works also to remove mold of caulking bleach

@FixThisHouse Месяц назад

That works too 👍🏽 sometimes when the mold is deep in there, bleach can only remove so much. Thank you for sharing!

@12345678971926 Месяц назад

I strongly concur with you. Don’t stop making good videos like this.

@CherDele Месяц назад

NEVER EVER USE MASKING TAPE. The edges may well look clean but they aren't sealed properly. There are a lot of silicone applicators available on the market to give you a brilliant seal and finish.

@bitrudder3792 15 дней назад

I fantasize about a 100% solid surface shower. They can shape that and stick it together and it’s completely waterproof. No seams anywhere. And you can scrub it all you want. No caulk. We live in a very humid climate, so no matter how much venting we do, no matter how much climate control we have, mold is a persistent challenge. And I worry about scrubbing on it because I don’t want leaks through the caulk. I feel like a prisoner of war in my shower.
