A product called  Oxyclean is murder on mold;  it is fast and non-toxic.
  After you get the mold off, you can use CS to keep it off, methinks. 
I have read on this list that Oxyclean is basically a sort of powdered
hydrogen peroxide;  it breaks down into harmless chemicals, the maker
claims.  

Using Oxyclean first would save a lot of time.  It is cheap and widely
available.

I've used it on areas that get wet often and on areas that stay wet and had
black mold.  The mold is gone and has not returned.  Used regular
concentration and it worked fine.  (I get my CS from a friend and have
forgotten the concentration but it's not high.)
