What is the best method to re-caulk a bathtub to prevent hidden black mold growth?
I need to replace the peeling rubber seal around my shower base. How do I ensure water doesn't get trapped behind the new application?

You must slice away 100% of the old caulk using a razor blade. Scrub the joint with bleach to kill invisible mold spores, then wipe it with rubbing alcohol to dry it completely. Apply a high-quality, 100% pure silicone sealant specifically rated for kitchens and baths, smoothing it tightly to eliminate air pockets.
