If you fancy less of a DIY job, using a sealant remover product can be an easier option.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding cure time, and avoid disturbing the sealant until it is fully cured. Clean the Tiles: Use a cloth dampened with water and soap or vinegar to clean and sanitize the tiles, focusing on removing any dirt or bacteria that may have accumulated under the silicone sealant.Scrape remaining silicone, with appropriate tool, taking care not to scratch panels, acrylic or porcelain surfaces. Wash the Area: Once all the silicone is removed, wash the tiles with mild soap and warm water to remove any remaining silicone remover and residue. Use Acetone or Nail Polish Remover: Test a hidden area first to ensure it won’t damage the fabric’s colour or texture.

Look for information on whether the sealant suits porous or non-porous surfaces, indoor or outdoor use, etc. Where possible remove as much of the old silicone by carefully cutting or scraping with appropriate tools. Take your time! If the panels run behind a fixture, such as a sink, cutting may not be possible as any blade is liable to cut into the PVC panel, so bear this in mind before you start.

You will also learn how to prevent, choose, apply, and remove silicone sealant from other surfaces. The scraper on both isn’t brilliant, they are adequate rather than outstanding. Personally, we would invest is a window scraper for the fine leftover caulk.

Cut the Tip: Cut the tip of the silicone sealant tube at a 45-degree angle. The size of the opening will determine the bead size.
