Many people will encounter moldy sinks in their lives, which looks unsightly and affects the lives of their families. The glass glue on the sink has become moldy. You can use this method to remove it. Let’s take a look.
Most people who move into a new house will find that mold appears around the sink after moving in for a period of time. It turns out that the glass glue is moldy. Many people don't know much about this phenomenon. If there is mold in the sink, there are actually some tips to deal with it. Let's take a look at how my family did it.
1. What to do if the glass glue becomes moldy?
Glass glue is very good for edge sealing and fixing, but it has a disadvantage: it is easy to blacken. Here are some tips for you: If the mildew is not very serious, you can use toilet cleaning spirit or 84 disinfectant. If there are spots, you can use a toothbrush dipped in a little detergent to brush them. You can also find a cloth strip, soak it with 84, then stick it on the moldy and black area, and wait for one night. If neither of the above two methods works, or the moldy area is too large, I can only recommend you try this method:
First, use a utility knife to shovel away the yellow and black glass glue on the edges. Come down, it’s quite fun. Shoveling it down is still a great feeling of accomplishment. This is the moldy glass glue scraped off. Without the moldy glass glue, the entire sink looks much cleaner. Now let’s work on the anti-mold glue.
Glue guns and glue are sold in packages. This time I bought an anti-mold glue. Then just use a glue gun to apply it. Pay attention to applying it as evenly as possible. Wear a glove and wipe the applied area with your fingers. This will make it smoother and fill the gaps to the maximum extent. The effect is as follows. This plastic steel mud is mostly used in wall corner gaps, toilet bases, basin corners, bathtub edges, etc. No need to brush glaze, it is smooth and bright from the surface to the deep layer.
A large tube of glue, very affordable. I used it to stick the mirror headlight in my bathroom. It stuck firmly. I only used a thin layer of glue to fix it. No need to put it on the wall. It's very easy to drill holes and install screws. It's been a week and it hasn't moved at all. It's so awesome. This glass glue has good sealing properties and can effectively isolate. One tube of glue can help you solve all the problems of waterproofing, leakage, isolation and deodorization. It is very suitable for home decoration.
2. There are many ways to deal with moldy glass glue

The plastic steel mud that will solidify after application is easier to clean on the surface and has better anti-mildew and waterproof effect. Moreover, the product is in the form of mud and does not require a glue gun during construction. Many people find it less troublesome and easier to use than glass glue. This kind of hard plastic steel mud is also very effective in bathrooms. It can be easily replaced in wall gaps, around sinks, and at the bottom of toilets. It is simple and easy to use.

White is versatile and can be used on almost all tiles and countertops.

Eye-catching, it is very suitable for use in bathrooms, toilets, kitchen countertops and other places.
4. Sink absorbent stickers are also used around the sink. Different from the previous anti-mold stickers, this one is specifically used to absorb water, keeping the area around the sink dry and saving a lot of work on wiping the countertops. It can be used alone or in combination with the anti-mold sticker on the front to achieve waterproof and anti-mold effects.
