Remove & replace moldy shower caulk

[@emily.g.929]

I’m a 22 year old female (living at home right now) with no experience in shower repairs or anything, but with this video I was able to reseal my shower and get the moldy old grout out. My dad was so impressed that he had me do the master bathroom for them, lol.

[@Iscaper]

That's awesome, congratulations!

[@sparky12u]

that's cool good job young lady

[@SteveLoves2Fly]

You can move in with me anytime. I have a house full of projects for you. :)

[@GlitchedPepsi]

Emily Garcia Yeah, its a messy job sometimes cause if it gets on your hands it’s litteraly hard to get off

[@MadeBy_Juice]

hahahaha your mom must have thought ur dad was useless when he called you, this comment def gave me motivation to do it myself. thanks! :)

[@jwdecosta]

I’m a 75 year old man and I am so glad I tuned into this video before I began this project! Good work young man!

[@Iscaper]

Thanks Jim, I appreciate the feedback.

[@natdav28]

Your video was the only video of the many i watched that even came close to preparing me for this big job. I was a first timer when I started but now feel like I can caulk like a pro!! I recaulked the whole shower, then dismantled, cleaned, recaulked and reassembled by whole framed shower by myself thanks to your careful instructions. I did develop my own little techniques as I went along, which is likely why everyone has their own expert opinions in the comments. But for a beginner this guy has the most realistic video and advice to be found.

[@beccahoo]

I have spent 2 hours watching videos on caulking a shower.. Your video has been the best and most helpful by far. Thank you so much for your time and effort spent on this video! Much appreciation from Australia!

[@randykrape5045]

I do lots of these in my business. First start by removing all the soap scum off the walls. If you don't, that residue gets under the new caulk and it may not stick well. After removing the old caulk and cleaning, I spray Microban into all the joints to kill any remaining mold, and drying with a fan before installing caulk. Most Silicon caulks have a 30 min set time. I tell customers to wait overnight to use the shower.

[@Iscaper]

+Randy Krape Good information, thanks for posting.

[@HumbleSpartan]

What do you find works best for removing soap scum?

[@BradleyH]

+MostHumbleSpartan Magic sponges work great without having to use chemicals. They're cheap as well, you won't regret it.

[@Iscaper]

Thanks for watching.

[@salihabdur-rasheed243]

This is the best era to live in. All info on the net. Thanks ...updated My bathtub 🛁 seal came out great. I used painters blue tape around mine so it came off easy and very crisp/professional. I obtained that tip about tape from the comments. Thanks again.

[@lesleyallen3084]

Salih Abdur-Rasheed nice tip about the painter tape! Thank you!!

[@airforcelogistics3301]

Lesley Allen You’re welcome.

[@jbvilla82]

Painters tape always helps.

[@genecarden780]

Yeah too bad most of it is wrong like this video

[@LarissaTeasdale]

Thank you so much for this tutorial video. Your tutorial gave me the confidence to be able to clean up our moldy shower. I bought all of the materials and was able to do this project all by myself! I was so proud - and so was my hubby (especially since he didn’t have to do any of the work 😂). Thanks again!!!

[@Iscaper]

Great, I'm glad the video helped.

[@susanbernstein6845]

Thank you! I finally did it, after about eight years of intending to do it, during this rare rainy weekend here in Northern California. Your video was invaluable. I'm proud of the results.

[@Iscaper]

That's great, congratulations and thanks for watching.

[@amberartise1]

So I am back with an update!! It came out beautiful!!! I am so happy and pleased. I hacve now moved on to your changing a light fixture video and will take a stab at that! Thanks!

[@Iscaper]

That's great, and congratulations. Good luck on your next project.

[@rakeshbansal6470]

Amber A. Thompson

[@Monique-e1r]

Your video prepared me with a shopping list for tools, clear step-by-step instructions, and gave me the confidence to do the job. I have no experience with this and it turned out great! I appreciate the time you took to teach us.

[@Iscaper]

Great to hear!

[@davidgreaber1015]

I'm now inspired and excited to do a previously dreaded project. People like you are what give me reason to love KZbin!

[@Iscaper]

Thanks David and good luck on the project.

[@maymofoo8637]

Can this same thing be done with a tub?

[@hiroshi138]

Good job. When I was removing the grimy silicone, I used some painters tape along the edges because no matter how hard you try you will make tiny scratches in the porcelain which then trap soap scum and you're back to a "mold" issue again.

[@williambirnbaum1501]

I do mine once a year....you did a great job explaining how to... Just takes time to prep and time to do it right. Some people just use the caulk gun and run a bead...looks like crap!! You need to smooth it out. Follow this DIY vid and do it right !!! GOOD JOB

[@tdalej]

Good videos on your channel. I just tackled the molded caulk in our shower. To more quickly and thoroughly remove the caulk remnants, I used a wire wheel brush attached to my drill. It creates some dust but it was much better than trying to remove it all by hand. Thin disposable nitrile gloves are the way to go in spreading the caulk. I placed a dehumidifier in my shower to remove all the moisture after the caulk was removed.

[@Iscaper]

+tdalej Good info, thanks for posting.

[@wyattbrule12688]

A wire wheel is not needed if you have an oscillating multi-tool with a scraper attachment on.

[@karleneiannone6193]

Doesn’t that leave staining from the metal? Every time I use a wire brush it marks whatever I la working on with metal color

[@tdalej]

@@karleneiannone6193 Maybe a little. I now use a razor scraper. I also like the oscillating attachment comment.

[@msohh4210]

thank you for sharing. New homeowner here - got a quote for $125 for my small shower. Nope, Ill try it myself. Your instructions are straightforward.

[@Iscaper]

Good luck!

[@majorbrighton]

I would recommend always cleaning with alcohol/Ethanol after scrubbing away the mould. Note also that you always apply the Silicon in the reverse direction to what his doing, that way their is no need to smooth out as it is done automatically i.e. you hold the tube the same way - yet push not pull. took me a few years to learn the right way! Yet gives great results.

[@evanpenny348]

Right on.

[@roysabo5319]

Stephen Nicholas you the real MVP...

[@BlessedForever888]

that's a great tip about pushing, not pulling! thank you

[@lambertj.2892]

Or you can do it his way which turned out just fine...

[@ketupat20]

I followed the advice of the DIY store. He did say to use a sponge dipped in water to smooth the grout out but it was your tip of dipping the finger tip in the water that did it. My work is not bad for a first timer. THANKS a lot!!

[@Iscaper]

I like using a sponge when caulking around window with latex caulk, but around showers and tubs I like using my finger to smooth out the caulk.

[@katehb]

Thank you so much for making this guide! Made it so easy for me to redo our shower, where the caulk had eroded so the shower leaked a bucket-load everytime we showered! Cheers!!!

[@Iscaper]

+Kate Bowden Thanks Kate for watching.

[@KimCooke-m1t]

I have felt so daunted by ~ and have avoided ~ this project ~ for a LONG time. and this was the weekend I committed to making it happen ~ this how-to video was SO helpful! Easy to understand and follow. And the caulk removal and installation is done! Thank you for sharing this fantastic resource!

[@Iscaper]

Great! Thanks for watching.

[@plainbettyjane]

we just bought a home and are fixing it up ourselves, we have to recaulk our bathub/shower, this video was really helpful. your shower looked great

[@tamrynweber7787]

This video is very helpful. I really appreciated how you described every step - even wiping the silicon on a paper towel. I've been avoiding this project too, and your video is really helpful

[@Iscaper]

Thanks Tamryn for the feedback. If you decide to tackle your project, let me know how it turned out.

[@theradiantchild]

iScaper1 what kind of caulking do you recommend?

[@Iscaper]

theradiantchild If I remember right I used GE silicone caulk with a microban.

[@ROWRyan]

Great video, thanks! To anyone else who’s here to learn how to remove old caulk, save yourself a lot of time and effort and go get yourself the scraper he’s using at 1:40. You won’t regret it and they’re very cheap.

[@catkeys6911]

This is SO helpful! I hope this video stays up for a long time, or at least long enough for me to finally get my lazy butt psyched enough to try this.

[@Iscaper]

Thanks Cat and good luck if you try the project.

[@NWforager]

removal process is a bit faster with a shopvac . it keeps the scraper from pushing in the old caulk and helps remove mold and gunk. i like to scrap with the vac right behind it so loose stuff is never in the way . Vacs also speed up dry time

[@victorcuchilla1371]

I bet your glad you did this chore 8 years ago. Lol. With 3.3M views it paid for itself. Good job and thank you !

[@Iscaper]

Thanks, it's not a project I'd want to do very often.

[@jeffbeynon3353]

I usually do not leave any comments but I just wanted to point out that with 100% silicone when caulking with it in showers and Tub surrounds you will find that your best bet for beginners is to use the tape method where you run masking tape along both sides of your joint fill it with silicone then finger it until it looks like you want then pull the tape off and then use soapy water to lightly smooth over any rough spots. I say this because when you smear silicone out on the edge of your joint really thin then let it dry and after a little while of use you wipe down your shower and those thin edges that got smeared out come lose easily and start to hold dirt and grime and that's how your caulking starts to look bad and mold and mildew start growing there. I know a thing or 20 about this because I have been fixing this problem for 27 years for customers. Mold and mildew are silicones kryptonite 100% silicone is awesome stuff but get a little mold n mildew under an edge and it starts

[@JamesJones-pd9mi]

nice vid but kinda of outdated. here is the recommended update kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXWsZZucfbKSfsk

[@MackenzieKahne09]

I made that mistake by not using tape.. it looked like a mess.. 😪 so yes use the tape so much easier

[@susanmcnally6356]

Thank you. I saw the tape method on a version of "this old house" when showing how to replace moldy caulk.

[@genecarden780]

Mold has absolutely nothing to do with silicone. Silicone is inorganic. Mold can not grow on it without organic material. And as you pointed out it usually starts under the silicone due to lousy installation by amateurs. When installed correctly silicone will easily last 20-30 years without any problems. The problem is EVERYBODY tries to use ridiculous shortcuts. Like using water or soapy water to tool. I have been a professional caulker for over 45 years. And have installed probably 100 moles ov silicone

[@raulgolfs]

Thanks for this one. Working on my shower now.

[@Iscaper]

Good luck!

[@mano4999]

Caulk guns have a hole back by the handle. It is meant to be used to cut off the tip on the tube of caulk - insert the tip at an angle and squeeze the handle!

[@louf7178]

Ma No True, but sometimes you need a specific cut.

[@Slider6294]

It's also safer. This guy cut toward himself, not a good idea.

[@ragnarocking]

Thanks. When I saw the moldy caulk in my shower, I was worried I was going to have to replace my entire bathroom. :). Your tutorial and calm demeanor put me at ease.

[@Iscaper]

Glad I could help!

i made some mistakes the last time i tried this and now will try again. thanks for the step by step! very helpful

[@synaesthesiax5885]

This is excellent and just so well done - very clear, focuses on the task at hand, explains the steps very well, and it just gets right to the point. Thank you so much for posting this! It is a huge help to so many of us who want to try to get our own work done, but have no experience with this. I am planning on re-caulking a bathroom, partly because it's long overdue, partly because I am noticing a growing ant problem in the bathroom, as it seems they have found ways to dig some kind of tunnel leading to gaps in the grout and caulking. I will also have to check other parts of the house to re-seal cracks and possibly re-paint as well. (I am wondering if I should try to remove some tiles in the bathroom to check for ant nests, but since I have to rely on my own, and can't afford a professional, I am not sure if it is worth the risk of creating a need for expensive repair.) Superb video!!!

[@Iscaper]

+Synaesthesia X I have ants come into my shower every spring also. I've had good using Ortho Home Defense Max around the perimeter of my house, it seems to stop them from coming in. I haven't used it in the house yet but it says it's for indoor and outdoor use. Good luck on your caulking project, let me know how it turns out.

[@kevinliu1014]

It's a great job, but I want to say people now used epoxy tile grout to caulking the joints, it's different from traditional silicone sealant, it has advantages of waterproof, mildew proof, antimicrobial, easy to clean of the surface, and it will be same as ceramic after curing, but still have toughness, many colors can be selected to suit various tile or shower. Two-component epoxy tile grout is really a good partner for tile accessory.

[@Jay-ue2ic]

Man, that’s some high quality work there. My caulk lines look awful.

[@Iscaper]

Took me around 4 hours to remove old caulk, clean up, and install the new caulk. New caulk needs 24 hours to dry before you get it wet.

[@irenebecker4815]

Thank you so much! My husband and I are both having respiratory issues, possibly due to black mold in the shower caulk, so my project is to fix the problem. Crossed fingers!!!

[@coolenaam]

just use some thick bleach on your caulking, no more mold.

[@novoice1127]

You have to remove the cleaning agents, residue with some sort of spirit, methylated spirit, acetone ....no worries

[@jonathanchartrand3351]

By far the best tutorial. Easy and effective.

[@Iscaper]

Glad you think so!

[@lavonaffair]

Is it ok not to fill spaces with grout before using sealant? Also. I tried removing the caulk with a stanley knife but it was a stupid cheap plastic one. I cut below and above but wasn't able to get right to the surface so it left lots of caulk to get off. Spent well over an hour using a razor blade and a broken plastric rule as a small makeshift tool to remove it. It's hot and I'm sweating like a fool lol.

[@Iscaper]

Sounds like you need a better utility knife and scraper.

[@lavonaffair]

lol yup. Eventually got it all off, though it would've been so much easier with one like yours. Bloody Bear Grills type student improvisational skills over here.

Pro tip - if you’re a weekend DIYer , wear gloves as much as you can while any work

[@jamesortmann6587]

How is that a pro tip

[@Iscaper]

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.

[@idanori]

better tip for smoothing - wait 5-10 minute, deep your finger in a warm water with soap and smooth the silicon. This way nothing get sick to you finger.

[@yasminbagley8826]

I found this video to be so satisfying lol those molds were getting on my nerves. Nothing like a mold free , clean shower :).

[@julsdevilish1932]

Another great tip but most wont take the time. Each time you shower squeegee the walls and then use a dry washcloth go over the walls and all the caulk lines. The dryer the better. We’ve been doing this in our bathrooms for 19 years- no mold whatsoever... never once. I remember as a kid with 6 kids and 3 adults there was always mold around the tub & shower. It was gross and no one cared.. lol There are only two in our home. It takes 3 minutes to dry the walls. Then you won’t have to do this every year.

[@JenG877]

I just paid a contractor to replace my shower door and the one this I specifically said is please make sure to replace the caulking. Of course that wasn’t done and it’s leaking water onto the floor again. I am so frustrated but I will try to do it myself with the help of this video.🙏

[@daneuric3410]

Thank you. One suggestion: I would much prefer to see you using gloves when you're using the spray cleaner and especially the Clorox wipes. Bleach is hard on your skin and may be toxic. Why take the risk? Take care!

[@Iscaper]

Good tip, thanks Dan.

[@nuriag2961]

[@greekgirl92077]

I prefer not to mix Clorox with other chemicals because I dont want to die.

[@brucezack]

Thanks iScaper 1. I have never worked with grout and hope I never have to in this lifetime. The caulk will be much easier. Thank you.

[@NancyMichelli]

What they don't tell you in these videos is to WEAR GLOVES. I taped mine off first. And when I pulled off the tape I got caulk all over my hands. It is nearly impossible to get it off! So wear gloves.

[@NancyMichelli]

Kawakeb Astra You're welcome. But I discovered a way to get it off if you do get it on your hands/skin. Have this ready before your project. A mix of coconut oil and baking soda. If you get it on your hands just rub the mixture on your hands. Use a generous amount. Rub it in very well. Then rinse with warm water. Do a follow up with soap. I use Dr. Bronners. Works great.

[@Mr70Cenzo]

+Nancy Michelli Just use exam gloves. I find I use them all the time when I'm doing chores in the garage.

[@naymossbarclay]

+Nancy Michelli you dont need gloves.. strong kitchen towels is the best thing. gloves get in the way!!!!

[@daneilwawryer424]

Nancy this is why you should be making sandwiches for the man chaulking.

[@grovelnd]

+Daneil Wawryer what, do you live in the 50's?

[@new-knowledge8040]

I just finished removing the ceramic trims that sit between the bathtub and the surrounding three walls. I then removed all silicon and grout from trims and wall previously behind trims, then I cleaned and polished the trims up. Carefully breaking the trims away from the tub and walls, was no easy chore. I then used an auto water seal grout to hold them all back in place. So no silicon seal this time. The black mold never ever tried to touch any grout before. But it loved silicon, big time. Previously, nothing seem to stop the black mold. Even after doing a thorough cleaning after removing the old blackened silicon seal, and also applying mold killer substances, the mold was soon back even though I also used an anti-mold silicon seal to replace the old blackened silicon seal. Anyhow, it all now looks as good as new.

[@rtrain67]

What a pain in the cojones!!! When will there be a way to have seals without caulk? This way I could just wipe this stuff away without all the drama

[@ToyaRoa1]

You don't have to remove and replace. Just make a paste out of baking soda and bleach, then apply to area and leave for 2 hours, wash off and I swear its like new. Try it, its like magic.

[@baptizedbyfire13]

L Roa Bleach is an oxidizer. It is not just mold and mildew that kills caulk. Mold and mildew release organic gases which create pressure beneath the caulk. This creates bubbles to where the mold and mildew spread and repeat process to create lift in the caulk. Bleach is essentially liquid chlorine. It cleans well as an oxidizer but etches most surfaces. While silicone has a broad chemical resistance, it will succumb to the effects of bleaching. Cracking, shrinking, bubbling, drying and peeling can all be expected with bleach contact and soonest with heavy use.

[@THESMOGDIVA]

You know you love the drama.....

[@wysiwyg2006]

I did this a day ago, never done before but pretty much did what you showed. Thankfully. Thanks

[@kenzoshibakariki1780]

I've yet to find a caulk that won't mold! All seems sales BS to me! lol

[@ThePdxster]

+Kenzo Shibakariki I agree!! I have used both silicone and latex, some with Microban, and they all mold eventually. So now I only use latex as it is so much easier to apply and clean up (just water). Silicone sticks very well and will outlast latex, but the mold growth requires that you re-caulk way before then so it's not worth dealing with silicone.

My husband cooks for me and I take care of small jobs around the house. We both make decent money and contribute it to the household. Why do our chores have to be defined by our gender? Seems awfully closed minded. I would flip my shit if someone told me I couldn’t caulk my own bathtub just because I’m a girl. My husband encourages me to learn new skills and I do the same to him. Seems like your complacent with being dumb.

[@tedel44]

Thanks for this video. Thanks to your information I was able to remove old dried caulk from around my bathtub and recaulk. I found the old caulk was easier and faster to cut if I heated it with my hair dryer on the highest heat. Didn't bother getting out the heat gun.

Thank you for saying how long to let dry before getting wet. I’ve been searching for that info!

[@Iscaper]

Any time!

And it starts to come lose and leak and cause all kinds of problems. You will find that a bead done right with no smeared edges will last longer look better with out any problems. I do like how you show the cleaning process. It's very good.

This is a great video. Thorough and helpful thank you. Had to watch it at 2x speed though.

[@Iscaper]

Glad it was helpful!

I enjoyed watching your video. Women are so used to men doing handyman work - and the men are good at it. But, I want to learn how to become a handywoman so I atleast know to do small handywork. This video was excellent for that.

Great to see that Avasva has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.

Thank you for this. This took the fear away. it doesn't seem that intimidating and i'm going to tackle it this weekend. Tired of the shower looking dirty.

Good luck!

I've been dreading replacing the caulk on my bathtub, but this video makes me feel better about getting off my lazy butt and doing it. It's not rocket science, for heaven's sake, but it does take a lot of patience which I'm lacking in at times. Thanks for sharing.
