What mould/mold killer to use?
Simply getting rid of mold initially can be easily done through the use of an EPA approved mold killer like SaniDate 5.0. SaniDate 5.0 uses peroxygen chemistry which is safe and leaves behind no toxic by products and residues. These type of products will kill mold and mold spores present on a variety of surfaces, as well as sanitizing and disinfecting in the same process.

Should I use bleach to get rid of mold?
No. Although bleach will kill and decolorize mold, it does not remove mold. Dead mold can still cause allergic reactions. It is not necessary to kill mold to remove mold. Soap and water and scrubbing can remove mold from hard surfaces. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the New York City Health Department agree that bleach or other biocides should not routinely be used to clean up mold.

If mold is present, what’s the best way to get rid of it?
From http://www.realtor.org/realtororg.nsf/pages/moldfaq
The answer depends on how much mold is present and where it is located. If the mold is on furnishings or boxes simply discard the materials. Moldy materials are not considered hazardous waste; they can be sent to a regular landfill. However, it is smart to seal the mold material in heavy plastic to protect the people who handle it in transit and prevent spreading large amounts of the mold into the building as you carry the material out of it.
If the mold is on a hard surface but occupies less than 10 square feet wash the area with soapy water (scrubbing with a brush may be necessary), rinse and allow the area to dry before repainting. If you have asthma, severe allergies and a weaken immune system get someone else to do the clean up.
I would wear a mask if I were you!
Larger areas (greater than 10 square feet in area) should be cleaned by someone with experience in doing this type of work. Remember, determine what caused the moisture problem and correct that problem. Otherwise, mold is likely to recur.
