Great comments. I would only add that a 1 to 10 solution of bleach and water will suffice. Also, when using a respirator make sure it offers the right protection. A HEPA filter by itself won't protect you from bleach fumes..only particulates. A combination HEPA/Acid gas may be more appropriate.

Bleach does NOT kill most types of mold. Bleach only changes the color of the mold to make it less noticeable.

To kill mold you need to use a biocide/anti-microbial, and the most important piece of the equation is to ensure that the source of the moisture is eliminated so that the mold doesn't return.
