a small concentration of bleach and warm water.
STEP 1: Wear rubber or latex gloves. Spray the wall with a solution of 1/2 cup (4 fl oz/125 ml) chlorine bleach, 1/3 cup (3 fl oz/80 ml) powder laundry detergent and 1 gallon (4 l) hot water, working from the base of the wall up.
STEP 2: Gently scrub away surface mildew using a plastic scrubber sponge.
STEP 3: Using the scrubber sponge, rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
STEP 4: Once dry, consider applying a coat of paint containing an antimildew agent so you don't have to do this again any time soon.

I'm going to guess that they are just regular walls, covering with some kind of drywall and paint.
Your first step should be to determine what caused the mold and address that issue.
If you want to be extra safe, wear safety gloves, googles and a face mask and predampen the surface with a light spray of water (This will help reduce airborne spores).
For a cleaning solution, use about 1/4 cup of bleach per gallon of water. It's safe to use up to about 1 1/2 cups of bleach per gallon if the surface is really dirty, not cleaning up, etc.
Let this sit on the site for 15 minutes than clean it up by rinsing with clean water. After it's rinsed, dry the area very thoroughly. It helps to use a fan to speed up the process.

Wipe the moldy area with a warm damp cloth first. Try to get as much as you can off with that. Then try a mold cleaner like Tilex. The first step will help keep the mold from shooting off too many spores when using the Tilex.

Bleach if it's just on the surfaces. But if it's in the drywall, you'll have to get out a professional service to get them to treat the walls properly for your health. It can be very dangerous to leave a lot of mold on your walls.

Marelene i think of your purely selection is to take the floor up and reinstall it. initiate the place the final piece grew to become into put in and paintings your some time past until it particularly is all bumped off. i might mark the products the place they got here from and positioned returned in comparable area. comedian strip out on sheet of paper. To get a specialist finding interest the baseboard molding could be bumped off. If the baseboard molding is to perplexing to eliminate. you are able to continuously go away room for expansion at baseboard molding and purchase quarter around molding to conceal. this might paintings. in case you're a unmarried mom without adventure with around observed, i might reccomend you purchase low-priced jig observed and get great tooth blades for reducing off the ends to shorten as quickly as you have bumped off the floor. The jig observed will decrease laminate without project and is plenty safer in case you're biginner. good success

Bleach (Hi-Lex) and warm water plus a lot of elbow grease. Spray with Lysol after wards, it kills mold.

You clean it off with a sponge, and a mild bleach solution. Wear a mask.

i used Windex to clean my shower i assume it is the ammonia in it that kills it. if it has penetrated the walls, you have to cut out and replace the affected areas.
