Bleach is very bad for the Seals (Gaskets).
Everyone that uses a bleach product will be buying a new refrigerator or a new Gasket sooner or later.
How long have you been using Scrubbing Bubbles? Does it contain Bleach? Any cracks or distorted areas on your Gasket yet, Bleach users?
Does anyone know what the manufacturer recommends?
If they recommend BLEACH we all know why...

I been in the gaskets bussiness for 25 years and the one thing you should not use is bleach. Bleach will dry out the vinyl and in a very short time they will crack.

Can anyone tell me how I can clean the mildew on the rubber seal on my refrigerator/freezer doors? Thanks!

RE: Cleaning Refrigerator Gaskets

I use chlorine bleach, either straight or mixed with hot water. Also, to get the mold or mildew out of the gasket grooves, take q-tips and dip them in the bleach, and then run them through the grooves. Great for those tight spots. (02/02/2005)

A toothbrush and cleaner with bleach works great for scrubbing those moldy gaskets. And my refrigerator repairman says we need to lube them every 6 months, with, believe it or not, vaseline. (02/03/2005)

Clorox Cleanup will do the trick. (03/25/2005)

RE: Cleaning Refrigerator Seal (Gaskets)

I would try Scrubbing Bubbles. In Florida, as you know, we experienced 4 hurricanes last Summer / Fall. Some refrigerators were in terrible shape after several weeks of no electricity and the owners unable to get to them for a variety of reasons. Scrubbing Bubbles to the rescue.

I have started using it each time I clean my refrigerator now --- because it gives it such a nice clean look, and I figure the bleach in it can only help sanitize.

Hope this helps! (03/27/2005)
