Hi Rex :)

Yes, you want to clean it first and remove any existing soap film and possible buildup. Check for any voids in the caulk. Look for water spotting and possible etching (drips & run marks that might not be removed with cleaning).

Next the shower does have to dry out.

Follow up with sealing.

Hi Rex :)

I recommend a tile & stone specific high alkaline cleaner. Our online store supports Stone Tech products, which would be their KlenzAll.
