Mix bleach and water in a squirt bottle then spray it on the infected area. If it's larger, use a towel dipped in bleaching solution to wipe the area. Make sure you're wearing a mask to avoid inhaling any spores while cleaning.

Fill a well washed-out spray bottle with a solution of 3/4 water and 1/4 bleach and spray on the mold. Test a small area first to ensure that the bleach will not damage the surface. When you are finished, wipe with a mild detergent. To prevent the problem in the future, try to find and eliminate sources of moisture.
