Question from Ruth

Last year I bought some non-toxic caulking material and it works fine. The apt. manager put it right over the old, thinning caulk. Now I find that there is black mold growing through the new caulking. I have MCS from mold exposures, so I am probably a “moldy” person. Is it safe for me to clean that all off myself, and what would I use. I like using a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda for cleaning up moldy residue on my sink area, but this is caulking. I don’t really want to ask the apt. manager to do it since I can’t trust him to do it right from the last experience. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I wouldn’t clean it myself if I were you. Get someone else to do it.
