I want to remove some old sealant around bathtub. It is starting to turn black. Original sealant is white. And then I will apply new sealant. I have tried a lot of thing,so far nothing works very good to remove the old. Any advice would be appreciated,on how to remove the old sealant. Thank You

use a razor knife and something fashioned into a hook. the black is mold. scrape off all the caulk - clean the surface(s) with acetone and a rag. acetone will dissolve any silicone sealant. acetone evaporates quickly with no residue.

Lowe's and HD sell a little tool that aids is caulk removal if you want to spend the money. (It's in the caulk aisle)
