Help,please , a few weeks ago I got the clothes out of the washing machine, they had dirty marks on some of them which turned out to be like a gunge, on inspection I found a soapy gunge all round the rubber seal of the machine, I cleaned it all off, used a washing machine cleaner and all was well until tonight wash has come out with marks on as before, Has this happened to anyone else and did you find any thing better to clean it, I use soap pods would this have anything to do with it,,

I stopped using gel or pods because of this problem.

Liquid detergent, on the other hand, is perfectly ok in my machine - I have used nothing else for over two years and no longer get the awful gunk.

Soda crystals worked in my machine but I had to do it twice, the drum was full of gunge after the first cycle, I wiped the drum with kitchen roll, then used soda crystals again, it’s now sparkling.

I also put my washing machine drawer in the dishwasher for a thorough clean.

Thankyou all for your tips on the gunk in the washing machine door seal, I think it maybe the pods, I use Bold 2in 1. So it could be a build up from the conditioner,,I will try soda crystals and probably wasting powder in future ,
