If a container in the fridge grew mold, should it be thrown away or its still safe if you just wash it?

I had a container with some moist tabouli in the refrigerator and forgot about it, i opened the lid and it had mold growing on it, is it safe just to scrub it out and throw it in the dishwasher with the rest of my dishes or should I throw it away?If a container in the fridge grew mold, should it be thrown away or its still safe if you just wash it?
it will be fine just give it a good scrub and toss it in the dishwasher. no worries.If a container in the fridge grew mold, should it be thrown away or its still safe if you just wash it?
Spray it first with something that kills bacteria. Dettol works great. Then scrub away at it, (I wouldn't suggest putting it with other dishes, just to be safe) With very hot water then spray it again and wipe it out. It should be fine. Mould is just bacteria.
It's perfectly safe, just put in some sterilizing fluid (the kind that you use for babies bottles) or some dilute bleach and give it a good scrub.
Scrub it out and wash it in the dish washer. Dish washer detergent is very harsh, contains chlorine bleach and will kill off the mold spores.
You can just wash it. It will be fine.
