finger nail polish remover or acetone should remove the sealant, but there is a chance they would damage the finish of the tub, depending on the material. If it is porcelain it should be fine, but if it is plastic don't use them. WD-40 will also probably work and is probably safer, so you could even try it first. Spray the sealant with WD-40, then let it sit until it is almost dry - probably only 15 seconds or so, then spray again. Rub with a fingernail or plastic scraper. You can use WD-40 on pretty much any surface, and can buy it at Walmart or Target. If the WD-40 leaves a residue, clean it with glass cleaner - may take a couple sessions.
Grout sealer is a protective substance used to prevent moisture, stains, and contaminants from penetrating and damaging grout lines. It is essential for maintaining the appearance and longevity of tiled surfaces like bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, and floors. There are two types of grout sealers: penetration/impregnating sealers, which absorb into porous grout, and surface sealers, which create a protective layer on the surface. Grout sealers offer several benefits, including stain prevention, moisture resistance, easier cleaning, and extended lifespan. To apply grout sealer, clean the grout, choose the right sealer, ventilate the area, apply the sealer, wipe off excess sealer, and allow it to cure. Regular reapplying is recommended to maintain its effectiveness. Epoxy grouts may not require sealing, so check manufacturer recommendations.
Goof Off can be used to clean grout. Grout is one of the many items that is listed on the back of the bottle.
Yes - but you are always best off removing a large portion of the old grout before re-grouting. After letting the new grout dry for 48 hours, consider using a grout sealer to make it last longer.
