Dow Corning (and probably others) sell a product that removes old silicone.

Grout can be removed by soaking with water first and then gently chipping it away.

You could use one of these.

I use a sharp chisel though.

I always use a razor blade, then rub with my finger.

I've used silicon eater before. It's ok, but you may have to apply iy numerous times to get rid of all the silicon.

Trust me, you're better removing it mechanically rather than chemically.

I completely agree; in case you're wondering why I mentioned a chemical product, it was in answer to the OP's direct question.
