When cleaning your washing machine, it’s easy to forget the door seal and all the dirt and grime that can build up behind it. This area can be particularly difficult to clean due to the shape and placement of the seal, especially if you don’t have the correct products to remove it. However, it's important to pay attention to this area as, if left untreated, black mould can eat away at the rubber seal and cause it to deteriorate.
In this guide, we’ll show how to clean the seal on your washing machine and recommend the best products to help you achieve outstanding results.
The rubber seal on your washing machine plays a vital role in keeping water contained and preventing leaks. Over time, this area can become a breeding ground for mould, dirt, and detergent residue as it is exposed to moisture during every wash. When not properly cleaned and dried, this becomes the perfect environment for mould and mildew to grow. Neglecting it can lead to unpleasant odours, unsightly stains, and even reduced machine efficiency.
As this area can accumulate mould and mildew rapidly, we recommend using an effective Mould Remover with lasting results. Our Mould Remover Gel is ideal for washing machine seals, as it is fast-acting and has an easy-to-use non-drip formula. It also comes with a precise nozzle, which ensures the gel is only applied in the areas intended.
You Will Need:
Step 1: Prepare The Area
Wipe the stained area with a cloth until it is dry, ensuring you remove any loose/ excess dirt on the surface.
Step 2: Apply The Mould Remover Gel
Squeeze the gel evenly onto the stained area and leave it to work for four hours. The gel is an easy-to-use formula which can be applied precisely to the area needed.
Step 3: Wipe Off The Gel
After the Mould Remover Gel has been left to work on the area, wipe off with a clean cloth then wash the area as normal. Repeat the process if staining persists.
For severe stains, you can leave the Mould Remover Gel on the area for up to 12 hours before cleaning off.
