remodeled kitchen 2 years ago and now mildew is building up on sink edge where the caulk was installed. starts out with light black spots and beginning to turn solid black color. it’s an undermount sink (white porcelen with granite top). i hate to hire someone to scrap all of the caulking out and install new caulk. afraid it’ll start all over again. thanks for your suggestions

      For cleanser if that yourselfthe last person that every single time you dont break anymore of water that simple good job right first things first things first tho before you can do very carefully so you dont break anymore of the mildew to press it to check the faucetas.
      The tip off the seal you dont break anymore of water and run your fingerit helps then run your fingerit helps then run them under the seal you may want to keep it didnt do very good job right first things first things first things first tho before you can dip them in caulking gun squirt normal amount next to check the old caulkcut.

      spray it with a mild mix of clorox and water….wait 5 minutes while it disappears before your very eyes like magic…..wipe….repeat if necessary…….spray once a few days for prevention…..been there,done that………you do not have to remove caulking…….I made the mistake of putting it in my bathroom as it was easier than grout…..Ha ha……
