Guide remove the silicone from the plasterboard

Here are easy step-by-step instructions for removing sealants from a plasterboard surface:

1. Thoroughly clean the surface with a specific product for the bathroom and make sure that there are no grease residues at the end of the operation.

2. Cut the silicone with a professional cutter to check its consistency. Note: if the cut material is rubbery it is silicone, in the case where the consistency is harder it will be latex-based sealant.

3. Remove the silicone with a spatula or with a scraper by cutting the upper and lower edges of the silicone well in order to remove the strip with your hands. NB: if the operation is particularly complicated, soften the silicone by wetting it with a little water (if necessary put wet cloths on the surface, leaving the same 2/3 days to soak, checking every so often that the cloths are always soaked with liquid) or heat it with a heat gun or use a little oven degreaser stretched with water.

4. Remove the residues present in the joint with a professional cutter or spatula.

5. pass the vacuum cleaner through the cracks and in the joints, then apply denatured alcohol or an anti-mold product on the surface, in order to eliminate the mold that has formed under the old silicone.
