I would not use bleach to get rid of mold, I found when you use mold
happens to come back. There is a few products out there one I did like
was the Safe Shield and Molderizer kit.. u can look on the web and
should be able to find them. I do not know the exact address.



Bleach removes mold,


Bleach kills mold, but I don't think it removes it. I had some wet
and moldy sheet rock inside the basement near a water pool outside,
which I removed. I sprayed the bleach and expected the blackish sheet
rock to turn white again, but it didn't because the dead mold was
still there. Once I painted it white again, everything was fine.

but it won't remove moisture. If there is mold
growing, stop the moisture and the mold will stop. Mold and mildew
don't like metal ions.
