How to Clean Up Siliconized Acrylic Latex

    • 1). Dampen a rag in warm water. Put a few drops of dish soap on the rag and wipe up any of the still-wet siliconized acrylic latex. If the caulk is fully dry, you can skip this step and start at the next step.

    • 2). Cut or scrape the caulk off with a razor blade, if at all possible. If it is on a slick surface, such as porcelain or glossy vinyl, a majority will come up this way.

    • 3). Cover the remaining siliconized acrylic latex with caulk remover and wait for the remover to soften it. Although wait time can vary according to the caulk's thickness, you generally should wait at least an hour.

    • 4). Use a putty knife to scrape up the softened siliconized acrylic latex. If it doesn't come up easily, repeat step 4, applying more remover and waiting longer than you did before.

    • 5). Scrub the area briskly with a damp sponge to remove remaining traces of the caulk and remover.
