Mouldy sealant is not a good look but there are ways to keep it fresh and clean.

Every day: A quick wipe over sealant with a cloth after a bath won’t take a minute and should stop mildew taking hold.

Shower. How To Clean Bath Or Basin Sealant

Combat mildew with one of the powerful mildew-tackling products on the market designed specifically for sealant. If the one you try doesn’t seem effective after the first go, try again – it may take several applications to beat the problem.

Stubborn mildew that simply won’t budge calls for radical action - your best bet is to remove the sealant altogether and re-seal, choosing a good-quality product.

Always check manufacturer's instructions first. Always try a test patch first. If you are unsure as to whether the item you are cleaning is suitable for our instructions, take professional cleaning advice first.
