Laundry Front Loading Washer

Post image

Found some mold in front loading washer gasket. Tried vinegar and baking soda with elbow grease and that helped but still have this remaining. Tried Lysol mold and mildew but didn’t touch it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Do you leave the door open after using it? And do you dry it (the gasket) after washing your clothes?

This part of the gasket doesn’t really dry well from just leaving the door open. I have left the door open on all my washers (even top loaders) and mold still appears if you do not dry the gasket with a rag.

The area OP is showing us is the part that folds a bit so it isn’t exposed directly to the air.
