How silicone removes?

Answer 1

"Goo Gone"! I left some rubber strips, heavily covered in thick silicone, in the tub while I was doing some maintenance work. The strips had good time to cure themselves to the tub, I had left them there for 2 days. Obviously not thinking about the sticky mess it would make in the tub. I scraped off the top layer with a hard plastic silicone remover tool (not so great). It removed the thick top layer. I was left with a sticky mess that just wouldn't come off. I sprayed the tub with "Goo Gone", an orange based house hold cleaner. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and I was able to remove the sticky mess with nothing but a dry rag. No damage to the tub, metal or knife scratches, and hardly any muscle or effort. Great stuff, it's in the house hold cleaner isles.

Answer 2

Silicone is a synthetic compound that does not easily break down naturally. However, there are specific products designed to remove silicone, such as silicone removers or solvents, which can help break it down and dissolve it. Additionally, scrubbing with a brush or using abrasive tools can be effective in physically removing silicone residues.
