  Ventilate the area you'll be working in by opening all nearby windows.

  Scrub the mold stain with dish soap, water and a sponge, cloth, nylon brush or abrasive pad, depending on the type of surface you are cleaning. Use a cloth or a sponge on scratch-prone surfaces, such as glass, painted walls or any surfaces with glossy finishes. Use a nylon brush or scouring pad on durable surfaces, such as unfinished wood or cement.
  
  
• 4). Spray the stain and all surrounding mold spores with bleach. Scrub the stain with your sponge, cloth or scouring pad.
  
  
• 5). Apply bleach and scrub all surrounding areas near the black mold stain. Mold spores are microscopic; just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.

  Mist the surface and the surrounding areas with water again.
  
  
• 7). Dry the cleaned surfaces thoroughly with a clean towel. Keep the area well-ventilated until the surface and surrounding area are completely dry. Even after removing the stain, keeping the the area moisture-free helps prevent mold in the future.
  
  
• 8). Dispose of any sponges, cloths, brushes or pads you've used to clean the black mold stains.
