How is the best way to remove mold off of a leftover dish found in frig?

Question

What is the best way to disinfect it? Occasionally we find leftovers that were forgotten in the back of the frig.

Answer 1

Fill the dish with Hot water and add some bleach...The bleach will kill the mold...Let it soak for a few hours and it will be fine...



I think its funny someone thought you were tryin to save the food...To remove the mold from the food so you could eat it.......lol. haha ha

Answer 2

I'd say just scrape out the leftovers into the garbage, then let the dish soak in some HOT water w/ dishsoap. That should disinfect it enough so you can wash it then.

Answer 3

If the dish in question is made of china, metal or glass, just wash it in soapy water like you do your other dishes. It will be OK. If it's a plastic container, as many storage containers are, run it through the dishwasher, if you have one, using the top shelf. If not, bleach it in a solution of one part bleach, ten parts water for ten minutes and rinse well.

Answer 4

I would just throw the dish away unless its your one and only dish, then soak it in hot water then wash it with soap and bleach, then let the dish sit outside in the sun to get the bleach smell off of the dish

Answer 5

Scrub with a non-scratching scouring sponge and plenty of dish detergent until the stuff comes off. Then just run it through the dishwasher.

Answer 6

I would just throw the whole thing away and soak the dish in hot water with soap.

Answer 7

Cleaning your boyfriend's fridge? Just soak it in very hot water with bleach in it.

Answer 8

Add a little bleach with the dishsoap.

Answer 9

PLEASE, do not try to remove the mold. If the mold has grown on the surface the whole thing is rotten!

Answer 10

wash it


Mold is on all foods, just hasn't grown
