*Anna* Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Dare I ask this...but the inside of my washing machine is dirty! not the drum but the rubber which the door fits in to. It doesn't appear to be removeable and so I wondered if any of you had any bright ideas as to how best to clean it? Just wiping with a sponge doesn't work.

sanity girl Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 The best way to clean the machine (the whole thing, not just the rubber) is to run an empty hot wash with a bit of bio powder detergent. If the rubber seal still looks bad after that and it bothers you, then you can get it replaced.

*Anna* Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Thanks Sanity girl - I've tried this but due to the rubber being the seal it on the gap that doesn't get wet during the cycle if that makes sense? I was hoping someone would have an old wives tale I guess involving frogs legs and snails and rose petals or something!

Saffron Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Wipe with fabric conditioner to disolve oils, then use fairy liquid on a bottle brush to remove. Wipe clean with hot water and vinegar.

kmoon249 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 we goggled cleaning the "door seal of a washing machine" this weekend. Must be time for spring cleaning. they are removable and washable. you can also buy new ones- for ?40-50. We watched a Youtube video - looked straighforward on how to get it out - then its easier to clean - but havent tried it yet.
