How do I remove baked on mold from dishes -- both plastic and ceramic?

Question

It's baked on because I just found out there's mold in my dishwasher and it showed up on the dishes after a full washing and heating cycle.

Answer 1

Ok. go get your bleach.  Turn you hot water all the way hot in the kitchen. PUT GLOVES ON!! scrape off anything you can see with a sponge or something then immediatly throw the sponge away you dont want to keep that around. fill up one side of the sink or both if you need to. Put no more than a teaspoons worth of bleach in the water. dont splash your clothes!!! let it soak. bout an hour drain the sink spray good and dishwash you should be fine. After you run them in the washer smell them really good. if they smell like a musty moldy smell probably a faint smell of what they smell like now scrub them really good with dawn and wash them again. mold is nothing to mess with. mold caused my little sister to get lupus. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Dont forget to do an empty cycle on your dishwasher with bleach. I do this regularly because of the food and stuff that gets left behind.
