I stupidly left some dirty dishes in my dishwasher for over a week before running the cycle. When I remembered the dirty dishes, I ran the dishwasher on the hottest setting thinking it would remove the food and little moldy things starting to grown in there. My dishes are mostly clean with a little mildew on them that I can remove by washing them in the sink. How do I now sanitize my whole dishwasher and the racks. If I can even sanitize the dishwasher and dishes together and not have to rewash all the dishes, that would be even better. I'm willing to wait another day or two for good answers in order to avoid having to go through all the dishes and rewash them, but the faster your answers come, the better off I am. Thanks a lot.

If you go to any department store they have dishwasher cleaner...you just put that in without any dishes and run through a regular cycle. This should alleviate your problem.

Bleach in hot water and some elbow grease on a scrubbing pad.
