1. What is GLEAN Silicone Sealant Remover Spray?
GLEAN Silicone Sealant Remover Spray is a powerful, fast-acting aerosol formula designed to dissolve and remove cured silicone and acrylic sealants safely and efficiently. Ideal for use around baths, showers, sinks, and toilets, it makes sealant removal quick, easy, and mess-free.
2. Where can I use this product?
This remover can be used on a variety of surfaces and in multiple areas of the home, including:
• Around baths, showers, sinks, and toilets
• On kitchen worktops and splashbacks
• Around windows, tiles, and glass panels
It’s safe for most hard, non-porous surfaces commonly found in bathrooms and kitchens.
3. How does GLEAN Silicone Sealant Remover work?
The advanced aerosol formula penetrates and breaks down cured silicone and acrylic sealants, loosening their bond to the surface. Within minutes, the softened sealant can be easily scraped away without damaging the underlying material.
4. How do I use GLEAN Silicone Sealant Remover?
Step 1 – Test:
Before use, always test on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure surface compatibility—especially on painted or delicate finishes.
Step 2 – Apply:
Shake the aerosol can and spray directly onto the silicone from 10–15cm away. Allow to sit for 10–15 minutes so the remover can soften the sealant.
Step 3 – Remove:
Gently scrape away the softened silicone using a non-scratch scraper or cloth.
Step 4 – Clean:
Wipe away any residue with a clean, dry cloth, then rinse thoroughly with water. Allow the area to dry fully before applying new sealant.
5. How long does it take to work?
You’ll begin to see results within 10–15 minutes of application. For thicker or older sealant, a second application may be required.
6. Is it safe on all surfaces?
Yes – GLEAN Silicone Sealant Remover Spray is safe for use on most hard, non-porous bathroom and kitchen surfaces such as ceramic, enamel, glass, stainless steel, and acrylic.
Caution: Always perform a small test patch first on delicate or painted surfaces.
7. Can I use it on painted or wooden surfaces?
It’s best to avoid using this remover on painted, varnished, or untreated wood surfaces unless a small test confirms compatibility. The solvent formula may dull or affect certain finishes.
8. Does it remove all types of sealant?
Yes – it effectively removes:
• Silicone sealant (including sanitary grade)
• Acrylic caulking
• Some adhesives and residue left from old sealants
9. Will it damage tiles or bathroom fittings?
No. When used as directed, GLEAN Silicone Sealant Remover Spray is safe and gentle on tiles, glass, chrome, and enamel surfaces. Avoid prolonged contact on plastic trims or coated metals to prevent surface dulling.
10. Can I apply new sealant immediately after cleaning?
Yes. Once all residue has been removed and the surface is completely clean and dry, you can reapply new silicone or acrylic sealant immediately for a professional finish.
11. How should I store the product?
To prevent nozzle blockages, invert the can after each use and spray for 2 seconds. Store in a cool, dry place below 50°C, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Keep out of reach of children.
