Green mildew-like build up on door glass seals.

as the title says, I’ve noticed that the top edges of the seals between the doors and the side windows has a green residue building up in it. Does anyone know an effective way of removing it? Ignore the multiple stripes in the left; that’s just my tee shirt reflection!

I’d go at this with Dettol Mould and Mildew Remover, possibly diluted 1:1 with water. Jet wash first, then spray or brush on, leave to dwell for a few mins, another quick treatment, gently agitate with an old toothbrush, then jet wash off. Take your time and repeat this process until you’ve cleared it.

The same process using an all purpose cleaner like Surfex HD will get the seals clean, but if you don’t kill the spores with something antibacterial, the green algae will be back before you know it.

Thanks, @Jimbob76

@jdp1962 - This ^
I normally dilute the APC down to around 3:1

@jdp1962 I had this recently and have had it before. I find a quick blast with the pressure washer sorts it. Not sure if that's an option for you? If it's not ingrained it works

Bowl of warm water, strong solution of all purpose cleaner and some jiggling with a narrow brush. Hey presto!!

Oh yes, and I’ve changed my tee shirt as well.
