1. What does GLEAN Silicone Sealant Remover do?
It softens and breaks down silicone and acrylic sealants so they can be easily scraped or wiped away. Ideal for removing old or damaged sealant from baths, showers, sinks, toilets, tiles, and worktops.
2. What types of sealant does it work on?
This remover is formulated to work on both:
• Silicone sealants (including sanitary and neutral cure)
• Acrylic sealants commonly used around sinks and bathtubs
3. How do I apply the remover?
• Use the built-in brush cap to apply a generous layer directly to the old sealant.
• Leave it to work for 15–30 minutes (or longer for stubborn sealants).
• Use a scraper or blunt tool to lift and peel off the softened sealant.
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
4. Is it safe to use on all surfaces?
Yes, it is safe for use on most ceramic, porcelain, glass, acrylic, plastic, enamel, and metal surfaces. However, always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
5. Can I use it in kitchens and bathrooms?
Absolutely. It is ideal for wet areas, including bathrooms, showers, and kitchens, where silicone or acrylic sealant is typically applied.
6. Will this damage tiles or plastic?
No. GLEAN's formula is non-aggressive and designed to be gentle on surrounding surfaces while breaking down the sealant effectively.
7. How long does it take to work?
In most cases, the sealant begins to soften within 15–30 minutes. More stubborn or thicker applications may need a second treatment or a longer dwell time.
8. Can I reseal immediately after removal?
Yes. Once the old sealant is fully removed and the surface is clean and completely dry, you can apply new sealant right away.
9. Is it safe to use indoors?
Yes, but ensure good ventilation while using the product. Avoid prolonged skin contact and keep out of reach of children and pets.
10. What size is the bottle and how much area does it cover?
The bottle contains 250ml, which typically covers 6–10 metres of sealant line, depending on the thickness of the application.
