Caulk turned yellow

Hi, got our bathroom recaulked by a professional, everything looked nice for a week or two it then slowly starting yellowing. The guy is not responding to our texts so we might have to do it ourselves. When I Google why the caulk turned yellow most answers say UV exposure (and moisture but it's a tub+shower so there will always be moisture), but we don't really get sunlight in our bathroom, we have window but no direct sunlight hits that part of the tub/shower. What should we look for when purchasing the right product, I've read some people got the wrong thing when doing it themselves. Thank you for the your advice! submitted by /u/tryingandwondering [link] [comments]
