Have just unpacked the dishwasher from the big move. And it has a little mould inside it.
Has anyone had this, and if so how do you get rid of it?
Once clean is it then okay to use?

Seriously, put it through a cycle with nothing in it, add half a cup of bleach. it will be just fine.

A tip for future shippers: Fridges, washing machines, dishwashers etc, put a few tea bags inside to prevent this and possible smells.

I use mine as infrequently as possible and it grows mould in a couple of days here anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much.
Cockroaches living in it, that's another matter
(that was at the rental, not our own place)

I remember something about using vinegar. Perhaps this site might help http://www.cheap-and-easy-recipes.co...dishwasher.htm (and I'm sure there's dozens of others).

Bung it through a hot/long cycle with a cup of vinegar (or one of those expensive cleaners you can buy if your loaded) and she'll be good
