cleaning tips sought

[EarlJunior]

N-E-1 have any tips on cleaning those rubber (?) gaskets around the outside of the windows? Mine has a lot of dark stains; I tried Clorox wipes & a very mild bleach spray, nothing.

I soaked mine in a bucket in an extremely strong chlorine solution. I used some chlorine that I normally put in my pool, mixed it about 25% with water. Let the white rubber soak for a day. Cleaned most of the mildew, but some was so deeply embedded that it remained. I'll probably order a roll of gasket material from Gulf Stream and just replace them all.

thanx for the tip! Let me know how the replacing goes if you decide to do that; I may want to consider that as well!

I re-installed the old, bleached molding already. You just need a putty knife to force it back into the groove. It wasn't hard. Assume brand new would install just as easily.

Turns out the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser cleans up those rubber gaskets around the windows etc. quite well! Takes a bit of elbow grease tho', so I think I'm gonna get the heavy duty ones next & see how that does!
