Silicone is an essential material to guarantee the waterproofness of our homes. Discover 5 methods and tips for effectively removing silicone without damaging surfaces.
Silicone is used as a sealant or for finishes (it allows you to fill a hole in a wall, or a gap in the corners, for example). Whether on clothes, tiles, windows or even on the hands, its elimination requires a certain expertise. To properly remove a silicone seal, using a seal remover paste has many advantages. This solution, available in DIY stores, is specially designed to dissolve silicone. It is easy to apply and handle, making the grout removal process faster and more efficient. If the silicone is particularly hard, you can soften it using a hair dryer or steam cleaner. Lightly heat the area to be treated to make the material more flexible and easier to remove, but without heating too much so as not to damage the surface or the surrounding paint. Acetone proves to be a very effective solution, but should be used with caution.
