Thank you for all your help! I think having a condensor drier doesn't help but when we bought it it was the best option for us in our previous home. Thing is now we actually having a utility room, a cheaper extracting vent hose drier would have been the best option but we are not in a hurry to buy a new one!!! On the last link you gave me it explained why the bedroom two of our daughters share can get mold on its NORTH facing wall. With the condensation on its adjacent wall from breath at night. The reason for the mold now has an explanation which my husband who in an HVAC engineer couldn't give me apart from suggest a vent in the ceiling. We have no tricle vents in our windows unfortunately. Although we did know the reason for the condensation!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!! Mell

Thank you for your help but I was wondering.... My utility room is a small brick out building with low ceiling and single glazing. Apart from the washer there is a small sink and our condensor drier. Could it be that the condensation in the room from the drier being used is what has caused the problem as the door of the washer is always left open but the drawer which should be and is rarely left open had vertually no mould?

I had read your pages on the SLIME but wondered it anything like Bicarbonate of Soda would work?? Or is a new seal my only sensible option? Will a regular boil wash actually control the slime and prevent it from reoccuring?

We had an engineer to fix the dish washer and whilst he was here asked him about the washing machine door seal which is coated with black slime/mold. He said the only choice was to get a new seal and that it would happen again. He said we could try to clean it but it would take all day and now I have read there are problems with spores and that you should wear a mask and goggles!! Any advice??
