Get a cleaning bucket and mix together 1 part chlorine bleach and 1 part warm water.
Take the toothbrush in one hand and with the other hand slightly pull on the seal to spread it open. Make sure not too pull too hard or you could rip it.
Wipe the door seals to remove any of the loosened grime and to rinse off the cleaning solution. Use another clean rag, this time dry, or a paper towel to wipe any remaining water left on the door seals.
If you are trying to clean off mold/mildew and it looks like it isn't coming off, it may just be stains that may not come off. Once you clean with the bleach water and do a rinse wipe, wet everything again, but with vinegar. That will make sure that any mold/mildew spores are killed and will also make sure bacteria is gone. It is an excellent antibacterial and antifungal agent and may stave off any mold/mildew formation for a while.
Hi Dora,
I'm Linda and I agree with Nancy about using the vinegar. I use vinegar all the time with my cleaning. Sometimes mixed with water, sometimes used with baking soda and sometime straight out of the bottle. The vinegar is excellent to use where you want to get rid of any mold or mildew. I was surprised last year when I read that vinegar actually works better than bleach for that purpose. Wishing you success.
Have you tried to use a magic eraser? I find they work on many things that nothing else works on. Try using a cleaner with bleach then scrub with the magic eraser.
