I noticed that I have some mold growing on the inside of my bathroom cabinates (they are laminated wood). Is there something special that i should clean it with?

Try ajax or bleach or any of the bathroom cleaners they sell in stores-use the thick stuff. That's for tubs and sinks.
For the cabinets, use 409. Spray it on a rag and wipe down your cabinets. I believe your bathroom has too much humidity in it so I suggest you "air out" your bathroom at least once a week. If you have a window in it, leave it open for a couple of hours, especially after you bathe or shower, or put a fan inside and let it air out the room. Check your cabinets from time to time and if you see any moisture, wipe it down. Spray with disinfectant afterwards. Helps with mold and germs.

If the mold is on your laminated wood, try a non toxic cleaner, or highly diluted bleech, if you have it on a drywall surface, use a powder called TSP (tri-sodium-phosphate), afterwords paint with an alcohol based primer (benjamin moore's SPS, or QD-30, or BINZ Bullseye primer work best), throw brushes/rollers away, and paint with latex high sheene paint to prevent mold from bleeding through.

Make a tile cleanser that will remove mildew stains by mixing two cups of baking soda with a half cup of lukewarm water. Use a household brush to work the mixture into the grout and scrub, scrub, scrub. Then rinse with clean water!

A good nontoxic cleaner for mold is vinegar and baking soda. Test a spot before doing it all.

Be sure you cover your face with a mask so you don't inhale any of the mold.

clorox bleach is the only way to go when cleaning mold

bleach and water. But find the source and correct that. It will keep coming back if you don't
