Rinse the molds with warm water once more. Check the molds for any other grease or oil. Use your fingers to work additional Gojo cleaner into any surfaces that the scrub brush missed. Rinse the mold one final time and set it out to dry. Repeat the process for all of the remaining injection molds.

Tips & Warnings
Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from dirt and oil splashing out of the sink.
Wear old clothes because cleaning the molds is a messy job.
Use a soft bristle brush so you do not scratch the surface of the mold and cause irreparable damage to the mold.
Use care when cleaning the molds and never hurry or scrub harder than necessary. Some of the molds have delicate parts that can become easily damaged if handled too roughly.
