The white refrigerator door rubber can sometimes become dull and blackish. In some cases, there are even black spots stuck to a number of rubber surfaces of the refrigerator door .
Basically, black spots on the refrigerator door rubber are mold stains. This is caused by high humidity in the refrigerator area, poor hygiene of the refrigerator, and leaks or condensation. Not only that, the rubber part of the refrigerator that is not tightly closed also causes the area to become damp, thus triggering the growth of mold.
To remove these mold stains, some people usually remove and wash the refrigerator door rubber. Apart from that, there are also those who choose to scrub it using a brush. Unfortunately, in some cases, this method tends to be less effective if the fungal spots are very old and stubborn.

Reported by BrilioFood on Tuesday (26/6), the simple ingredient used was bleach. Yup! This whitening liquid can be very effective in removing stubborn stains. However, for maximum results, prepare a tool in the form of cotton.
To use it, just prepare several pieces of cotton to compress the refrigerator door rubber. If you feel the size is too wide, cut the cotton into two parts. After that, arrange it and put it in a bowl or container.

Next, pour in enough bleach. Make sure the cotton is really wet, okay? Only then take them one by one and stick the cotton on the rubber surface of the refrigerator door which is affected by mold.
At this stage, make sure all the mushroom spots are tightly covered. After that, let it sit for a few minutes so that the bleach soaks into the stain and makes it easier to clean. When you have let it sit, remove the cotton by rubbing it against the rubber of the refrigerator door.

Then, if there is still something that isn't clean, rub it again using the cotton. For the rubber folds of the refrigerator door, you can use a toothpick or stick when cleaning it. So, do this process until the refrigerator door rubber is completely clean and white again.
The final step, you can wipe the surface of the refrigerator door with a wet cloth and a dry cloth. This is done to remove any remaining bleach liquid that is still attached. That way, food stored near the refrigerator door rubber will remain safe and not contaminated.
