grey sludge in rubber seal of washing machine door..how can I get rid of it?

[brimfull]

have spent ages wiping the crap out, but there is loads in all the crevices

ususally it wouldn't bother me but when I wash whites it sometimes leaves grey stains

have just washed cream sofa cover - shouldn't have bothered

Think it is fluff from clothes. Drives me insane. I should wipe down the seal regularly I know but I forget until the grey gunk ends up all over the washing....

Running a full cycle at a high temperature may help. I think this build up can be the result of 30 degree washes all the time.

Every so often I do a boil wash with nothing in it except a cup full of white vinegar which seems to sort out all the gunginess in my machine.

I try to do the boil wash thing too but it always makes my machine smell

Put a hand full of soda crystals in the drum and run an empty hot wash (60 deg+) and this should sort it out. Do this once a month and that will keep it looking and smelling fresher. Soda crystals easily available from supermarket.

Do you use white vinegar and let it dry out completely afterwards DecorHate?

empty hot wash with some bicarb of soda?

but will a hot wash with soda crystals actually remove the sludge?
have wiped a lot of it off , but loads on the crevices still

no idea sorry. its normally my failsafe for everything though

Usually use soda crystals not vinegar. Tbh my machine is rubbish. I regret buying such a durable but inefficient model as I wish it would break down so I can replace it!

i use a tiny squirt of bleach in the drum, or Milton fluid on a hot wash and it removes gunk and stink.
