You can't. You will need to remove and replace the sheet rock. Yes, I know that's probably not the answer you were looking for but that's it. Be careful, some mildews are poisonous, so don't delay - have the mildewed sections removed ASAP and if you are doing it yourself wear a mask.

Mildew has probably come about as a result of larger issues. Moisture issues of course, if you do take the sheet rock out. study carefully to see if it looks like moisture is coming from anywhere that it should not. Sometimes this requires going up from the mildew or just looking thouroughly for the source in general

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, takes it off, then follow up with a tiny amount of bleach to keep it from coming back. If it comes back.... you're sheet out of luck lol!

Wipe it down with a 50-50 mix of water and Chlorox and let it dry. Then paint it with Kilz brand paint to cover any remaining stain, then paint with the color of your choice.
