we have got a ten year old AEG washing machine, and black mould seems
to have penetrated into the light grey rubbery-plastic door seal.
Is there any good way of removing this black stain please? Thanks.

soap and water.

mild chlorine solution.

leave door open when not inuse.




Chlorine is the only practical way to kill the mold. Unfortunately,
it can adversely affect the rubber seal. Do start with a weak solution
- perhaps 5% solution of 5% chlorine.

Increase the strength, only if needed so as to minimize damage to the seal.
