Cleaning Caulk off of tub
 

(No Gochiefs ... i said cleaning Caulk, not cleaning Cock) :D


Hey experts!!!

so the tub is in pretty good condition except for the fact that it looks like they just applied caulking over the old instead of cleaning it off completely.

any tricks to getting caulking residue off WITHOUT scratching the porcelain?


yes, i'd be willing to even try antifreeze if someone really thought that would do any good.

they make liquid caulk removers. And special shaped plastic tools for removing caulk.

I usually cut as much of the old caulk out as I can with a utility knife and then clean it up with a razor scraper.

This.

Or you can be careful and use a knife.

I think they make a product called Caulk-off or Caulk-be-gone.

Maybe it's called "Anti-Caulk" or "Caulk-Away."

You can find it at most K.D. Lang or Melissa Etheridge concerts.

Do the liquid caulk removers really work? Seems like one of those useless hardware store items to me.

never used it.

The can of stuff i bought cleaned it off the tile really well but was useless on the porcelain itself.

Huh, that's strange. I don't know why it would work on one and not the other.

LMAO
i'm sorry.
sec

two reasons, i would guess

1. porcelain is more porous
2. stuff on the porcelain is a lot older

No. Both surfaces are not porous. That's why they are used in a shower.
Age shouldn't impact it. Probably 2 different products.

They have vacuums that will suck that caulk right up, don't they?

ok, any suggestions then?

I heard they were going to colonize Uranus after they shipped a bunch of caulk up there for the habitat domes. Yep, a bunch of caulk on uranus.

Ok, I'm reaching now.

**** you very much.
