okay..what's the deal? I have now stripped out, cleaned and re-siliconed the gaps in the shower TWICE in 2 years. Both times with "no mould" silicone. Both times about 1 year later there is mould in under the silicone. (so it can't be cleaned and looks aweful).
Any ideas on why? And how to make sure it doesnt happen for the "3rd time lucky" ?mould resistant silicon will only stop mould attaching to the surface. it wont stop mould growing underneath if you put silicon on another surface.
my guess is rip it all out and start again. and DONT lick your finger when smoothing out silicon……..thats where most mould starts
You must kill the mould first! before you re apply the silicone.
You do this with oil of cloves!
Then the arrea must be totally dry before you apply the silicone (though I am surre you new this anyway). Best not to use the shower for a couple of days before you re silicone the gaps or dry with a hair dryer a couple of times for a day.
Hope this works for you.
Regards,
Mark
