Best Way to Remove Old Caulk

Old caulk can have a dingy appearance. Even the fanciest tile and tub fixtures will be dimmed by the dreary appearance of old mildewed caulk. The bathroom, kitchen and shower environments are prime places for mildew to make a home, considering the moisture and frequent water exposure in these places.

Best Ways to Caulk Around a Bathtub

Caulk is used to create a seal in a tub where the tile and the tub join. It prevents water from seeping up into the tiles and causing the tiles to separate from the wall and mildew to form. Caulking a tub will take a couple of days if you need to remove old caulk because the area will have to dry completely before you can apply new caulk.
