Mould in your washing machine? Here’s our troubleshooting checklist:
- Nasty black mould or mildew on your washing machine seal? Run an empty ‘maintenance’ wash on the hottest programme you have.
Liquid and eco detergents don’t contain bleach, so bacteria thrive in the warm, damp conditions. Leave the machine door ajar between washes so the seal can dry. - Clean the mould or mildew away using a diluted-bleach solution and a soft cloth.

- If the mould or mildew have been left untreated for a long time, you may have to replace the seal.
If you’re still having problems give Service Force a call and get connected to your local washing machine repairs specialist!
