I have used denatured alcohol on a rag which I placed over a putty knife to get good leverage. Let it dry and recaulk.

Caulk has the same texture as 'grout' therefore i would be reluctant to clean and add to the exisiting application. My suggestion would be to buy a cheap 'grout' rake / remover (from any DIY store or via screwfix.com http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=56727&ts=34858 ) remove 'some' caulk' , clean and re apply. Atleast this way you will be avoiding building caulk on caulk ending in a high profile. Hope this helps

Try some TSP [trisodium-phosphate] mixed per instructions on box or bag...degreases, removes the last of the film or grunge and prepares surface to accept new caulking.

Clean it with straight vinegar. This will get rid of any grease or soap scum. Use this to clean the grout after you're finished with the job. Then seal the grout well.
You can use vinegar to clean everything in the bathroom!

use S.O.S. pads. they will remove soap scum and any left over caulk or mildew stains.
