What I have read, chloroform takes about have an hour or so of contact, and will turn the silicone to goo, which can be more easily mechanically removed. I suspect the results will be the same with the bi or tichlor ethene family of chemsical. Good luck with the trichlorethene (aka, trichlorethylene). A very intense degreaser and top of the line Hazardous Material. Use with great care, and protect all body tissue from exposure, including lungs, skin, and eyes.

PS: here's a tip, never rent a property that was previously used as a dry cleaners ;-)

> Hello Mike,

Chloroform, dichloro ethane, or trichloro ethane  will dissolve 
silicone. The di- and trichloro ethane are used in drycleaning.
