FYI that bleach does not kill all mold. In fact does a poor job. It will clean it up and look nice, but then you should go at it with good old Lysol. It is the PHENOL in the lysol that kills the mold and fungus. In fact in a data sheet I saw about 10 years back there had yet to be discovered anything that Phenol did not kill. You should not even worry about getting a stronger solution of phenol than what is already in lysol to do the job. It is plenty strong enuf. In fact there are cleaners out there now that are bleach and Lysol mixed. Though I do not know the level of phenol in this solution. Just something I learned back in my taxidermy days.
