Cleaning the rubber seal of your washing machine is essential, especially with increased usage due to a baby. Residue, mold, and odors often accumulate in the rubber gasket, but you can clean it effectively without removing it. Here’s how:
1. Prepare Your Cleaning Solution
Since you’ve tried vinegar and a washing machine cleaner with limited success, consider these stronger alternatives:
- Baking Soda and White Vinegar Paste: Mix 2 parts baking soda with 1 part vinegar to create a thick paste.
- Hydrogen Peroxide Solution: Combine 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide with 2 cups of water. This works well for mold.
- Bleach Solution (for severe mold): Mix 1 part bleach with 10 parts water.
2. Inspect and Remove Loose Debris
- Open the rubber seal gently and use a paper towel or cloth to remove any visible dirt, hair, or soap scum.
- Look for mold or mildew hidden within the folds of the gasket.
3. Apply the Cleaning Solution
- Use a soft cloth or an old toothbrush to apply the cleaning solution into all crevices of the rubber seal.
- Focus on the areas where grime and mold are most noticeable.
- If using a bleach solution, wear gloves and ventilate the area.
4. Let It Sit
- Allow the cleaning solution to sit for 10–15 minutes to break down the buildup. For stubborn mold or mildew, extend this time to 30 minutes.
