[Expert advice] Can sealant be cleaned with detergents and cleaning products?

We are often asked whether detergents and household cleaners can be used to remove dirt from sealant in the kitchen and the bathroom.

In rooms with high humidity we recommend general purpose silicone or sanitary sealants. Sanitary sealants differ from general purpose ones in their higher fungicide content, which makes them more resistant to mold and mildew.

Both general purpose and sanitary silicone sealants resist most cleaning and washing products. Common store-bought drain cleaners, for instance, cannot damage a KUDO® sealant. If you intend to use industrial chemicals, however, we recommend testing their effect on the sealant first.

To make it easier to find your way around the wide range of sealants and adhesives, they have all been given common alphanumeric codes; the bitumen adhesive sealant for all roof materials, for example, is designated KSK 602.


The KUDO® HOME household range has two new products: the compressed gas duster KU-H450 and the non-flammable air duster KU-H451.

Both dusters remove dust and fine debris without contact from hard-to-reach places and from the inside of computer, audio, video and photo equipment, office machines and household appliances. The difference between them is that the non-flammable duster can be used on devices without disconnecting them from the mains, while with the compressed gas duster the device must be disconnected from the mains.
