Mold on Silicone Caulking

By

I soak pieces of cotton ball and stick them on the moldy places and leave them for awhile - may need to be repeated if it's really bad. Hope this works for you and God bless you.

If the mold was not cleaned before the silicone caulking it will be behind the bead, not on or in
the bead, unless the mold has grown through the bead from the inside.

This is my case. I don't seem to be able to get rid of the mold inside the tub wall, so I have no way
of bleaching the silicone beading that will work. I plan to try again and do even a better job than whomever let it get so bad in the first place many years ago. If it takes a month of bleaching and drying out, and repeating, I intend to let this application be the last one!

Good luck to you, as well. : )

Mix up some bleach and water and apply to cauking. Wait until mold has dissolved then rinse well with water. Silicone will deteriorate over time. Then it has to be scraped out and replaced with fresh silicone.

How do you safely clean mold from the silicone sealing used in shower recesses?
