Depending on how you react to mold, cleaning it up can be very harmful to your health. Just bleaching it won't get rid of it all. This site helped me with the same problem. I had an entire wall that was moldy and I didn't know where to start.

If the mold is only external, spraying it with Tilex works wonders. Multiple applications may be necessary. If the mold is coming from inside, you need to replace the wall board. Either way the source may be from a roof leak, if so make sure the source of the problem is eliminated. Use a good primer coat over the area then repaint.

I had a similar problem once. I put about 1 part bleach to 5-6 parts water and sprayed it. the mold literally dissolved. i cleaned it well and let it dry.
then i painted the part of the wall with KILZ. a special paint that forms a moisture barrier.
no more mold.

Make a solution of 50% water and 50% bleach, wipe or spray on the moldy parts, wait about ten minutes or so then wipe clean. You may need to do this twice, but after the wall dries, it can be repainted. Use Binz, or Kilz, or a similar product, as a primer.
Good Luck and have a great day!

Mix 1 cup of bleach and 2 cups of water in a sprayer. Mist the moldy area and let it soak for at least 5 minutes. The mold should then wipe off cleanly.

you can talk to SERVICE MASTER CLEAN they have a product called SANI - MASTER which will kill the mold along with many other germs and bacteria. if the mold is very bad you may need to replace the drywall, then spray the whole area again with the SANI - MASTER, then rebuild the wall.

take a spray bottle and put two parts vinegar and one part dishwashing liquid {not the automatic kind} fill the rest of the way with water and spray the wall then wipe it down real well, you may need to repeat. make sure to find the cause and stop it so you won't have to go through this again

Apparently there is a bigger issue you probably need some insulation to stop the walls from sweating,and then you can spray with bleach,kilz it and paint.Your troubles will go away.

Wash down with a bleach then repaint with an oil based paint
