Step 3 · Wipe Down the Door Seal

Open the washing machine door and carefully pull back the rubber seal. Use a damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution (like diluted white vinegar or a bleach solution) to wipe down the entire seal, paying attention to any crevices where mold or lint might be hiding. For stubborn mold, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left for a few minutes before wiping.
