Mould in the washing machine can be a real pain, but there’s one method that can make it disappear for good.

Your washing machine is a perfect place for mould to grow quickly because of the damp conditions inside. It often grows the most on the rubber seal around the door and the drawer where you put your detergent.

This not only looks bad, but it can also make your washing machine and your laundry smell strange.

But don’t worry, there’s an easy way to clean the mould from your washing machine and make sure it never returns.

One person asked for help on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook group because their washing machine was covered in lots of ugly mould that had built up over time, reports The Mirror Online.

They wrote: “Hi, first time posting hoping someone can help. I was given a washing machine and I’m very grateful for it.

“There are bad mould/black marks on the rubber seal by the door what can I use to get rid of them, please? Has anyone actually tried anything that’s worked? Thank you for any help.”

Many people suggested using kitchen roll soaked in bleach and leaving it on the rubber until the mould is gone.

One fan of Mrs Hinch said: “Pack rubber with folded sheets of kitchen roll and soak with bleach leave overnight, then remove and put on an empty wash.”

Someone else mentioned that “any cheap bleach” does the trick, and you can get it for just 55p from Tesco.

Another person shared a tip: “Kitchen roll soaked in bleach and stick on all where mould is and leave overnight. Take all paper out, wipe out and run empty on the hottest wash you have. The black stains will be gone.”

They also advised: “Wipe the rubber seal out every time you wash, leave it open and the mould won’t come back. Also, clean your soap drawer out and where the drawer goes in once a month at least.”

Cleaning experts at Plenty recommend pairing bleach with baking soda to remove mould from the rubber seal of the washing machine and the rest of the appliance.

They said: “A cup of each should be more than enough to help shift mould, eliminate odours and get your seal back on the path towards freshness.”

For an “extra boost” households can add a cup of soda crystals, directly into the empty drum.
