First clean around the rubber with some mould and mildew cleaner for bathrooms - available from most supermarkets.
This is a natural accumulation of waste detergent, fabric softener, fibres and dirt build up that is being attacked by bacteria and eventually decomposes into a sludge / goo and then eventually starts smelling bad as well.
To keep the machine clean of waste build up and to keep any bad odours away:
1. Remove all items from the washer.
2. Open the dispenser drawer and 2/3 cup (160 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. DO NOT use more than 2/3 cup (160mL) of bleach per cycle as this will lead to product damage.
3. Close the washer door and dispenser drawer.
4. Select the Clean Washer cycle or a full wash cotton 104 F wash (40 C). DO NOT use any higher temperature as this will cause unnecessary fumes
5. Press Start and allow cycle to complete.
6. After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly to allow ventilation and drying of the washer interior.
7. Repeat the cleaning procedure monthly

You can use wire scouring pad with a cleaning agent, but it probably will not remove all stains, you will not harm the seal doing this.
The prob is originally caused by doing too many low temp washes, you should do a 95 degree wash without clothes in, but with the powder in at least once a month, it is called a maintenance wash, and all manufactures recommend you do this on a regular basis.
If it is really bad then the only satisfactory solution is to replace the seal, and keep doing a hot wash periodically.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.
