Over time, silicone bathroom caulk will become dirty and stained. This will create the illusion that your bathroom is old and dingy. Whitening the silicone bathroom caulk removes stains and restores the bathroom's look. Chlorine bleach is a common product used to whiten caulking and grout. However, chlorine bleach contains harsh chemicals that can discolor a variety of surfaces. Instead, use oxygen bleach--which has all the benefits of chlorine, without the risks--to clean and whiten silicone bathroom caulk.
Step 1
Fill a bucket with 1 gallon of warm water. Add 1 cup of oxygen bleach to the water and mix with a wooden spoon.

Step 4
