Has anyone used "clean soon" product to remove the mold on seal of front loader?
Washing machine smells and trying first to remove the mold. Wondering what your experience was with this product.

Contact the manufacturer--phone number or website should be on the label-- and ask for a copy of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the product. There are different types of mold removers and the hazards vary with the type of chemical.

ETA I tried but failed to find an SDS for this product. Due to this lack, and the fact that it's made in China, a country not famed for its spectacular health and safety standards , I wouldn't touch this product with a HazMat suit and a ten-foot pole. It may be utterly innocuous, but methinks that anything that claims to remove heavy mold is not going to be kind to the human body. And the lack of any hazard information at all sets off my alarm bells and makes me wonder what they're hiding.

Just wondering is it common to get mold on it? I had it and when I left my apartment my landlord deducted some of the deposit $ towards it. I had felt very bad that I ruined their washing machine.

Think pretty easily
Once the door is closed after the cycle , the water is trapped in and doesn't dry properly causing the mold
For sure had mold after 2 yrs of use , maybe earlier
