Mould in washing machine

Does anyone know something that works to remove stubborn mould in the seal of the washing machine?

I've tried mould spray, hot and bleach washes, and always wipe it down and leave the machine open to air after use

I can't get rid of it and the machines only 2 years old

If you've had bleach on it, the mould is more than likely dead but has stained the seal.
Are you using liquids or liquitabs? If so, ditch those and go back to powders - bio or non bio. Liquids cause a horrid build up of slime which goes mouldy

Yes I was going to say bleach for mould. Maybe with rubber gloves on wipe neat bleach around it and leave for 10 minutes open then run an empty boil wash? I'd worry if you left it longer it might rot the seal. Anything which survives that deserves to live!
