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.

The light grey seal may be permanently STAINED, so even killing the mold
with bleach may not remove the stain. Use the bleach to kill mold
and then keep the door ajar slightly so that it dries between uses.
