My husband is a do-it-yourselfer, but because of recent medical issues, I didn’t want him to do too much.
After the caulking is removed I would spray Clorox cleanup under the rim to kill any mold. Let it sit for an hour or so and wipe it off with a damp cloth. Do that until your cloth is clean with no black on it. Make sure it is totally dry before resealing. A fan is an important accessory. Speeds up drying
