how do you keep the new caulking from mildewing?
Terrible silicone line, went 10mm up the tiles. That will peel off and look ugly in a few days. Get a proper silicone tool rather than using fingers.
Waw thank you very much, can we use the same product for the window?
I suffer from a lot of mold around my window specially in my bed room, however, it is a double glazing window!
It was not that easy! When I ran my finger on it with soapy water, the caulked surface bulged up and tore out the stuff behind it. I think caulk dries sort of quickly. And the wetness of the bleach messes with the seal.
thanks tho, very helpful!
now how do i get the explosive diarrhea stains off the underside of the toilet seat?
Thanks Ron!
Great video Thanks!
good vid
Um… I love you sir. LOL
The caulking around my tub looked awful so I wanted to redo it but I wanted it to look nice and clean. The dish soap and water worked beautifuly. Thanks so much. 
Me and my dad just did this to are bathtub and its nice of the dumbass who built the house to put the Caulk out so far all I had to do was rip it off with my finger but we got it fixed and looking good now.
Thank you!
He makes it look so easy, is it really this easy?? Our apartment shower did not have new caulking and now its all falling out and moldy, and I doubt that the landlord will do anything with it..it would just turn into the blame game….but anyway, looks easy enough for me to do
thanks for the video…..
Ron you’re amazing! I used your video and took all that old crap out and lay down new caulk and it worked. Every aspect of it worked, including rubbing out extra moldy areas with the bleach AND using the soapy water to make a clean line of caulk. I went to Home Depot and bought a small hand squeezed tube of Caulk for about $4. I’m female and completed the work on my own without feeling intimidated. Thanks for your help!
@iluvalima Sounds faulty to me.
All I have is regular Ol caulk,not Kitchen and bath SO I suppose it`ll have to work.
I don’t really think if a Finger is a proper ”Tool” to finish that kind of Job…but anyway it looks ok .
@netpolice151 – ha! ha! ha! ha!!!!!!!
Awesome! My bathtub looks much better now!
you are amazing.. wish you lived in my town
I bought a tube the other day and it kept coming out from the back. I had a hard time getting it to come out. I cut the tip and noticed a bubble in the tube preventing it from coming out. Are the caulking tubes like this or was it faulty?
@excalebuir
hehe, I know that.
@utfsal WAIT!! you cant put new caulk on a wet surface or else it wont stic!
my problem is that the new caulking won’t stick because of the silicone residue, soapy water doesn’t seem to clean it off so it must be redone yearly.
