Maintain rubber seal of the washing machine

A tip, which I got from a friend, I would like to pass on here: the rubber seal of the washing machine should be maintained.

The rubber seal is determined after each wash dry wiped, but it is important that you also the space between the seal and the laundry drum, where always a residue of water settles properly dehydrated by the seal slightly raises to the outside (see photo) and with a cloth or even better with a sponge absorbs the residual water. I'm not sure if this is generally already known?
