    Banal.
    The apron in the washing machine turned black, stained. None of the available means did anything.
    It does not bother but looks terrible.
    Is there any secret way besides replacing it with a new one ??

    I dip it in diluted with water 1: 1.
    First of all, because there is more fluid in the machine and it is easier to dip the apron into it. Secondly, because I usually soak overnight, and a few soaked in too strong a solution have already shrunk to me ;)
    Maybe a flaw of rubber, but the apron is practically unusable (although clean).

    With a lot of processing (in thousands) of equipment brought from Germany, I won't argue how it works, but it's probably not about water.
    Maybe some of the aprons had been lying for too long, but they were definitely "felted" after taking them out and could not be stretched.
    I think your way is faster, but I don't have the head to guard my apron like eggs (lest it come out hard) ;) hence the suggestion.

    These stains can come from fungi - mold, I read somewhere on dishwashers that these stains on rubber elements come from them. Industry specifics recommend replacing them with new ones.

    Well, I found a way ...
    I found such a "Savo" trickle of a characteristic flash.
    No Genie from this chlorine-based flask after 3 sprays and wiping with a cloth led to almost novelty. In some places there are slightly grayish stains, but it is much better. Some water went to rinse but the smell was gone.
    Well, without undressing!
