If you’ve recently purchased a Blomberg washing machine, you might be wondering how to keep your new appliance in top condition. One key aspect of maintaining your washing machine is regular cleaning, particularly of the rubber seals. Keeping the seals clean helps ensure your machine operates efficiently and remains hygienic. In this guide, we explain why cleaning the rubber seals is crucial and provide our top tips for keeping this part of your appliance in excellent condition.
Why should I clean my washing machine rubber door seal?
Cleaning the rubber door seal of your washing machine is crucial for maintaining the appliance's overall hygiene and performance. Regular cleaning helps prevent the buildup of mould and mildew, which can occur due to moisture accumulation around the seal. This not only keeps your washing machine smelling fresh but also ensures that the seal remains in good condition, reducing the risk of leaks and extending the lifespan of your appliance.
How often should I clean my washing machine rubber door seal?
We recommend cleaning the washing machine seal at least once a month to prevent any buildup of mould, mildew, or grime. Regular cleaning helps maintain the seal’s effectiveness and keeps your washing machine operating smoothly. If you notice any unpleasant odours or visible mould between cleanings, it is advisable to clean the seal immediately, even if it’s sooner than your regular schedule.
What is the best way to clean my washing machine rubber door seal?
Regularly cleaning the seal will help ensure that your Blomberg washing machine remains in excellent condition and continues to perform efficiently. To clean your washing machine door seal effectively, follow these simple instructions:
Mix equal parts water and white vinegar or use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the seal.
Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean around the rubber seal, paying special attention to any crevices where mould or grime might accumulate. Do not lift the seals away from the metal.
After cleaning, wipe the seal with a damp cloth to remove any remaining cleaning solution, then dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
Inspect the seal for any remaining debris or buildup and repeat cleaning if necessary. If you need further assistance or have specific concerns, please contact Blomberg’s customer care team for support.
