The mold is in a basement apartment closet. It appears as a white substance pushing through the closet panelling.

Hi
First wash the walls down in a mixture of bleach and water, Do not over saturate the walls, place a fan to blow in the closet for a few days, you want to make sure the walls are completely dry. After that paint with Kilz, again ventilate well, use protection on your hands and a respirator, especially when using the bleach. good luck

Wash walls with clorox and water
or
spray down walls with Tilex
Then place a fan in closet to completely dry out for about 2 days.
Used both methods worked great

Pretty awkward I know, but there are two options that I have found that are kind of home remedies to the situation:
- put a bar of soap in a corner, still in its box for a long-lasting scent
- put dryer sheets between clothes and several places (surprisingly don't need a lot to get the job done)

Buy a box of bi carbonate soda. Put some on a saucer in the cupboard. Change it fortnightly.

Ammonia and water or vinegar and water sprays to clean and kill mold. And, cedar shavings to absorb and smell good..
