I wouln't risk it, because if it is too wet, the paper may be affected. Though I would try making a weak solution (1 part bleach to 8 parts water), spray it on lightly, leave for about 5-10 mins and then wipe off.

A bleach and water solution will definitely remove any active mould spores. One thing you need to address, however, is the cause of the active mould. There is always some kind of mould spores in a house. You don't see those 'green' spots on the walls unless there is some kind of moisture around to allow the spores to develop. Take care of the cause of the moisture or the mould will come back again.

I've had this problem and found neat thin bleach best. Open the window 'cos it 's eyewatering and use a small amount at a time in a bowl. Wear rubber gloves and put down something to protect the floor/carpet (e.g.a newspaper) An old toothbrush will help work it into the paper so you don't have to scrub and damage the paper. Try to do it fairly early in the day to give the room time to air before using.
I have not had a problem wth bleaching the colour out but it might be best to try a bit before you start.

If the paper is a vinyl (i.e. plastic coated) then it'll only remove the mold from the surface. With a non-vinyl (i.e. paper only) paper the bleach will soak through the paper and kill the spores underneath. As others have said though, you need to find the cause of the problem - it's usually damp seeping through the wall from outside.

Yes however the spores will be under the paper so you may need to remove the paper to clear all the spores. Really you need to find out why it is happening and if in a bedroom please be careful as they could be dangerous. Some spores can cause real problems with breathing

the only thing that will keep the mold from coming back it tea tree oil. Try mixing it 5 to 1.

If it's black mould due to dampness, forget it, not even bleach will shift it.
