Title: Silicone sealant residue
Post by: heritagecleaning on May 05, 2013, 05:24:15 pm

Not carpet cleaning, but before I drive 8 miles to buy something from B&Q will any of the Prochem spot removers be any good for getting the sealant residue off the bath / tiles.

I have cut most of it out and used a paint scraper, but there are just little bits of residue hanging on.

Cheers

Other than what Paul recommended Citrus Gel needs a bit of dwell time

We use two types of solvent cleaners and both would do this easily.

The one is from a local supplier and is made up of Naptha and Acetone.

The other you can buy all over, including on the net. It's Siroflex Solvent Cleaner.

Another option if only a small amount, especially from tiles and glass is a Magic Eraser.
