The Garden Frog with C Renee on Oct 28, 2013I have heard Vodka (so if you have any stashed away I would try this). Soak the area and supposedly it loosens the silicone.Helpful Reply

Kelly S on Oct 28, 2013I've softened silicone caulk using my hair dryer and then scraped/cut it off with a box knife. Our shower door bottom track was screwed in and caulked so carefully remove all the caulk.Helpful Reply

Anna on Nov 08, 2013The best product I have found for removing silicone caulk is a 'green' product I bought at Lowes called Motsenbocker's Lift-Off. This product does not actually dissolve the sealant, but rather breaks the molecular bond, allowing it to be removed in pieces. Do not use this if you have a non-white tub.Helpful Reply
