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.
