Allow to stand for 10 or so minutes and then use a sponge and several rinses of water to remove and allow to dry. Then follow the open door every few days instruction and use a desiccant ( even if it can't stop it , it can slow it down. </p><p><br /></p><p>For your packaging, use a gloved hand and outdoors, brush the visible mold off ( and store in zip lock food bags (I use the double thickness freezer bags) with an enclosed desiccant and it should not return.
