Clean that ugly caulking the easy way

Cleaning Tip: The days of having to use turpentine to clean that dirty top layer off of white caulking are gone. I just discovered that spraying it with Awesome, scrubbing lightly with a fingernail brush and wiping with a damp rag cleans it all off. It's so clean it looks like you just applied new caulking. It took me only 1 hour to go around the whole exterior of our trailer. I'm done. Much friendlier to me and the trailer both than using turpentine. And no smell. Woo Hoo for AWESOME!!!

    I use Awesome and a fingernail brush. Spray a little Awesome along the caulking and then lightly scrub with the small brush. Wipe clean and done.

    I bought my caulking cleaner at the local gas station. 85 octane works great!

    LA's Totally Awesome (from Dollar Tree) will also damage paint and decals if applied full strength. Be careful with the stuff.

    Awesome is a product with many good uses. It will also whiten old yellowed plastic trim pieces. There are some things it should not be put on. Always check the bottle for the "do not use on" info.
