Does anyone know how to clean underneath these? They don't seem to come off. Image attached....

There's also mould under the seal round the glass panels I've noticed.

I've got an old butter knife that I use with a wet microfibre cloth for small gaps/grooves

Are you sure they don't slide off? From the end/top/bottom?
The seals on my door are a bit similar-looking and are a bugger to clean. Every now and again I just replace them (screwfix sells them if you google the image and get the right type) as you just can't get them clean otherwise. There is no
Implement that gets right inside.

Ah thank you! I'll take a look at what screwfix do. Im not sure they slide, they are pretty fixed but could just be age. I might get DH to have a go. I'll check that screwfix have replacements before we do though as I'm not sure they'll survive being removed.

How difficult is it to put the new seals on? Do they just slot in or is it more tricky?

Thanks I'll give that a go. Some of the mould is under the centre though so I don't think it'll get everything 😩

Just to add the bottom ones do slide off so I slide them off periodically and bleach/scrub them and the bits they slide into, but I can't see anyway to slide the vertical ones off. I'll get DH to check though as I said above, as I am a bit of a weakling!
