Default very confused-- Bleach vs. Mold

I discussed this subject with a PhD Molecular Biologist who assured me
that bleach does kill mold. Treat it with a watered down solution
(don't remember the ratio). Let it dry. Do it again. Let it dry. Do
it a third time.

Of course, the mold is there because it's damp. Treating the symptoms
without fixing the cause won't help.

I am planning an attic mold cleanup-- Conventional wisdom is to use
bleach and water, but when I google it... I get a lot of hits saying
that it is a myth that Bleach kills mold.

The EPA brochure does little to clear it up.

Anyone with any real-world experience or other good info.
