Recaulking Your Way to a Fresher Home

Over time, the caulk around your tubs, showers, sinks, and countertops can become cracked, discolored, or moldy. This not only affects the aesthetics of your bathroom or kitchen but also creates a breeding ground for bacteria. Recaulking is a simple yet effective way to restore the look and function of these areas.

When to Recaulk

It's time to recaulk when:

• The caulk is cracked, chipped, or peeling.
• You notice mold or mildew growth.
• Water is seeping through the caulk.

The Recaulking Process

Recaulking might seem like a DIY project, but it requires precision and the right tools. Here’s a general overview of the process:

1. Preparation: Clear the area around the caulk line of any obstructions. Remove the old caulk using a utility knife or caulk removal tool. Clean the area thoroughly with a mold-killing cleaner and allow it to dry completely.
2. Applying Caulk: Load the caulk gun with your chosen caulk and cut the tip at a 45-degree angle. Apply a smooth, even bead of caulk along the desired area.
3. Smoothing: Use a caulk tool or your finger (with a gloved hand) to smooth the caulk into a neat, finished line.
4. Finishing Touches: Allow the caulk to cure completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.
