Washing Machine Door Seals

Washing Machine Door Seals
This post is a follow up to the washing machine maintenance wash post, and covers the cause of black marks and mildew that forms on your door seal.
This is usually caused by under dosing with your detergent or using the incorrect detergent for a long time without doing a maintenance wash, this will enable the bacteria to form in your machine, and the folds in the door seal are a good place as it remains damp there in the folds, good practice is to wipe your door seal dry and leave the door slightly open to allow air to circulate.
Also only using products like most of the liquids that don’t contain bleach will not remove all the bacteria in your machine.
If your door seal is not to bad cleaning it with a little bleach solution and a cloth may remove some of the marks, but if it is to bad then the only solution is to replace the door seal.
