A dilute solution of chlorine bleach usually works pretty well. Be sure to clean the surface first and then thoroughly rinse the detergent away before adding the bleach solution. A good hint is to use hot water to dilute the bleach since it activates it.

Using ammonia to remove mold can be hazardous, especially when this chemical is mixed with any product that contains even slight traces of bleach. Additionally, ammonia is not effective when treating mold on any porous surface, particularly on wood. It is best to limit the use of ammonia to bathroom tiles, concrete or cement.

Bleach is one of the best substances for killing mould and mildew.

A good and safe substance that can kill mould is vinegar. Vinegar is mostly acetic acid, and is known for its antiseptic properties. A vinegar solution can kill virtually any type of mould, and is safe around people and pets.
