How to remove silicone sealant from textured glass?

Question

I have silicone sealant on textured glass shower screen and it needs to come off!

I've tried: softening with hairdryer, acetone, soudal adhesive remover, plastic and metal scrapers, wire brush.... but can't dislodge these tiny remnants of silicon (scraper doesn't get into the dips and wire brush kind of bounces off)

Any suggestions please?

Success! A combination of the Selleys solvent, a Trojan wire brush and scraper tool and metal blades has worked. Thank you.

Hi @Nickim1, I have found that turpentine breaks up silicone sealant. Fairly cheap to buy and give it a try.
