I partially took my washing machine apart and saw how much filth built up in the drum. I had already run a cycle with vinegar and a separate cycle with bleach. I doubt you will be able to remove the thick biofilm on the drum without disassembly.

One day I'll get to it...

From reading the source, it's hard to tell exactly what these values represent, but I think it's the amount of branded pieces of litter they found laying around. This does not seem like a good way of measuring the pollution caused by each company.

Edit: Also, this graph is just a compilation of graphs from the original source, just using lines instead of bars (which means it wrongly implies a trend between data points). Low effort and poor data visualization if you ask me, not to mention climate change and plastic litter being two separate things.

OP - don't create some kind of Frankenstein post like this comment is describing. Either shim or replace, trying to splice the post will result in a failed inspection. Plus, it would look ridiculous.

Calling a shim a band-aid, while suggesting you hack together something that only looks like a 6x6, is hilarious.
