I just found my dogs kong after it being outside for a month. It is covered and dirt and mold is there any way to clean it? Is bleach an option if I rewash it?

Definitely the dishwasher, but bleach is ok too. Or both.

Pure bleach breaks down into harmless salts after a while, so it is perfectly okay to soak the toy in bleach, rinse it well, and let it dry out for 2-3 days before giving it back to your dog.
Personally, kongs aren't that expensive, and it might be easier and better just to trash the toy and buy a new one.

I would put wash it first and then run it through the dishwasher. Used to do that all the time. Another option would be throw it in the washer w/o bleach and wash it by itself.

Diluted bleach is fine. For general cleaning I use dish soap and a bottle brush.

I bleach everything.!!! Then I wash it with soap. Use a toothbrush to get it scrubbed up good. the little bristles will get in the imbedded teeth marks and clean it up.

No bleach is not an option. soak in hot water, and then just wash with dish saop. Rinse thouroghly. You can even put it in the dishwasher.
