cleaning the washing machine

we have had our front loading washing machine for about 8 yrs now,
i have recently noticed mildew on the rubber parts like where the door closes and on the inner lip part, i'm sure its been there for a while i just never paid attention or noticed it
i have used the tide washing machine cleaner to freshen it up but obviously that doesnt remove the mildew

any ideas on what i can do to clean this or is it a done deal and i need a new washer
thanks

or Tide sells a cleaner (in the laundry detergent aisle). You just run it through a cycle of hot water.

You can also use dishwasher detergent.
