You’d like to think that with so much water and detergent thrown at it, a washing machine would clean itself. Unfortunately, to keep your washing machine working efficiently, it requires a bit more care and attention than relying on the normal washing cycles to keep it clean.
I know from experience that the worst part of my washing machine to keep clean is the rubber seal around the door, otherwise known as the gasket. While it seals in water from spilling from the tub of front-loading washing machines, it can become a breeding ground for mold and grime, as moisture and detergent residue make themselves at home.
