There are a few general tips when it comes to removing mold from clothes. One is that it's best to wash your clothes in hot water. Hot water kills mold more effectively than cold water and better removes mold spores and allergens too. Of course make sure you don't use water so hot that it can damage your clothing.
When you're washing your clothes with a mold killing solution it's best to wash them through at least two full cycles. Then after your clothes have been washed hang them on the line in the sun. The heat from the sun and the sun's ultraviolet light help to kill mold. The sun has a natural bleaching effect that can also help to fade mold stains.

Add 1/4 cup of bleach to about 5 cups of water, mix it all up then use a spray bottle to get a small amount on a test section of the upholstered furniture, preferrably in an inconspicuous area in case it bleaches out the color. If the color doesn't bleach out, try it on a larger area and see how that works.

Do not use bleach as it may spot the fabric.

That would depend who was your superior. Now wouldn't it? It is against common sense for sure. However, how many places actually make common sense into regulation? By leaving a mop in bleach for any extended period of time you are destroying the integrity of the fabric that the mop is made out of. Bleach is a very powerful base that eats/corrodes fabric and other natural materials. It may not be a rule or regulation but it would be wise to take the mop out and rinse it when finished, then stand it on end or hang it to allow the mop to dry so that the fabric does not mildew. Mildew also decomposes the mop fabric and creates an allergic mess for those that can't be around mold or mildew. So, to make a long answer short... Rinse and dry out your mop so that it lasts longer.
