How do you clean a freezer gasket?

Answer 1

Try warm soapy water and a soft brush.

Answer: Baking soda and water should do the trick. Baking soda is a natural degreaser.

Another answer

You can use neat dishwasher cleaning fluid - the kind that you put into an empty dishwasher with the cap pointing downwards without first opening the bottle. Then you have to run the dishwasher on a full wash cycle at its maximum temperature and it will clean the pump and all the pipes as well as the rest of the inside of the dishwasher.

Well, you can unscrew the cap of that type of dishwasher cleaner liquid and drip just a small amount of it neat (i.e. undiluted) onto a clean piece of rag - plain cotton cloth is best - but you can also try a piece of thick kitchen tissue - and use it to clean off the "grime and gunge" of rubber gaskets on dishwashers, washing machines, fridges, freezers and any other household appliances which have that type of seal.

Then, after using a little neat liquid to do that job, you can simply screw the cap back onto the bottle and use the rest of it in the normal way to clean the pump, pipes and the rest of the inside of the dishwasher!

Note: always read the instructions on any bottle of detergent before you use it that way! Depending on the ingredients it contains, wearing rubber gloves may be strongly recommended!
