Cleaning mold from refrigerator gaskets.

Rinse the gasket thoroughly and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Gently wipe gasket using a microfiber cloth and toothbrush to dip in your solution gently wipe down the gaskets. This both cleans the gasket and neutralizes odors. Step 1 mix one part chlorine bleach and one part warm water in the bucket.

Put full strength hydrogen peroxide or vinegar in a spray bottle spray the gasket then wipe off all the mold with a clean cloth. A safe and effective cleaning solution is to mix 1 quart of warm water with 1 tablespoon of baking soda to clean deodorize and sanitize the gaskets. Mold and mildew in your refrigerator gasket can be unsightly and you should remove it to keep your refrigerator completely clean. It will help to remove residue mold and mildew along with providing odor reduction.

Vinegar can also be used to clean mildew stains but may not be as effective as the methods above. If you need to clean or remove mildew or mold from the interior or gasket of your refrigerator freezer or standalone icemaker wipe with a mixture of 1 quart warm water and 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Rub white vinegar on the walls and gaskets of your fridge to ward off future attacks of mildew. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.

Put full strength hydrogen peroxide or vinegar in a spray bottle spray the gasket then wipe of all the blackening with a clean cloth. I would leave the door open long enough to let the gasket dry thoroughly. Use a toothbrush to reach under the gasket and scrub out all the mold that s growing deep in the grooves. Mold on the refrigerator gaskets can grow quickly and undetected.

Vinegar makes a great protective barrier against future mold growth.
