Believe it or not, I have a post about something other than drumming! :shades:

I have a small bathroom that does not have a window but does have an overhead vent fan; the bathroom was installed about eight years ago, and through the years, the sealant between tub and tile has had issues with mildew (the moisture obviously) and has shrunk a bit.

So two questions, dudes and ladies:

1) What's the most effective mildew remover--one that gets the mildew out and helps keep it from returning?

and 2) Which kind of caulk works best in a joint situatin like this? Not exactly a tile question, but it does involve sealing a fiberglass bathtub to a ceramic tile shower surface...

:tup2:
