Bleach WILL NOT KILL MOLD.
It merely strips the color, making it virtually impossible to see the mold spores.
When the bleach contacts the mold, the spores go into panic stage and reproduce dramatically, but you cannot see this, as the color has been bleached out.
As the above poster has stated, there are many items on the market, do a search on the restoration forums, etc; for mold and see what the experts use.
Concrobium is very effective.
Don't just do half the job, follow the instructions and do it properly.
Acetic Acid, (vinegar, NOT SYNTHETIC), also kills mold spores, but then it must be bleached away and rinsed afterwards.
