Cleaning the silicone round flooring/baths etc

gabyjane

We had a new bathroom floor down a while back and it is lovely BUT the sealant round the floor is white and really hard to keep clean, it just seems to be a dust magnet and every time i clean it sticks and looks horrid..
Any ideas to the best way to get it white again and staying bit free!!

there isnt much you can do try washing up liquid once it gets really dirty just re do it

Hmm that's not much good is it!! i clena all the time so really don't want to be redoing it just yet as it's still new..maybe it's just mine?!

You raise a very good question - an issue that my wife complains about regularly with regard to shower and bath sealant (dirt and mould).

This seems to be a fundamental problem with sealants and I hope someone out there can provide a solution.

The world is waiting ............!

Lakeland sell an amazing mould remover that completely gets rid of the black mould you get on silicone. I came across it a couple of years ago now and i don't know how i lived without it. I tend to spray it around the shower every six weeks or so and just rinse it off and it completely gets rid of it. I don't work for them btw, i just love this product and i always tell everyone about it. I've tried so many cleaning products over the years and most of them don't work so it's rare to find one that does what it's supposed to!

It's a menace! as said by maxi isa. I use bleach to clean mine but it's in the shower not on the floor. I suppose if the floor is tiled too it wouldn't harm it to use bleach but I wonder why it's getting so bad so soon?
Is it just dust or black mould?
Not helpful but its surprising how dusty bathrooms get. Do you spray a lot of deodorant, hairspray etc which will make it worse?
