Cleaning mould from washing machine?

[maxiewaxie]

Can anyone tell me how best to remove mould from the rubber that is round the inside of a washing machine door?
Thank you

I think this was covered last week on here- maybe do an AB search on Washing Machines.
I think you can get spray to remove mould. White vinegar and soda crystals on a hot wash were also recommended. You certainly need a cloth and plenty of elbow grease. I've used bleach but maybe that damages the seal

First choice is a mould-remover (try Robert Dyas). Cheaper would be DILUTED bleach - Wipe on ,let dry and repeat a few times.

....the white vinegar OR washing-soda hot wash is more for removing gunge from drum and associated tubes.

Maybe this can help

You can also buy a washing machine cleaner - I think DR. Beckman's - which works like a dishwasher cleaner. Just use it in a hot wash (without clothes!) and some of it on a cloth to wipe round the sealer.
