To remove green mold from wood fill a bucket with household detergent, and warm water. Dip a cloth into the cleaning solution and use the cloth to clean the mold. Next sand down the area to remove deeper stains. Finally, varnish or clear coat the area.

Dry air and sunshine are mold's natural enemies. If you can move the wood outside in direct sunlight that would kill the mold. If you can't move it to direct sunlight, try mixing a little vineagar and water. For severe mold a little bleach and water. If the piece is finished you will probably have to strip and refinish because of the mold stains no matter what method you use.

Yes, you need a good wood cleaner such as Olympic Deck Cleaner that has cleaners and chlorine combined. Spray it on, wait ten seconds wash it off. Mildew gone.

Can you use nail polish remover get mildew stains out of hardwood floors?

The nail polish remover will discolor the wood since it is an acid. You need to kill the mildew. You could apply a mixture of bleach and water to kill the mildew but don't let it stay on the wood for too long because the bleach is an acid also. If the stain remains, you will probably have to sand down and refinish the wood. You may try to brush on a light colored stain to the wood which may cover the mildew stain after you kill it.
