I would use lysols wipes and use an air purifier but if it's on the surface it's probably behind the walls also so you will want to take care of that ASAP. If u rent it's the landlords responsibility. Is this a basement?

Re: mold help

I would ask to have it removed. You do not know how much is behine the walls and jsut a cleaning on the surface will take just the surface mold out.

Re: mold help

you can't clean it

you can't just remove the sheet rock either- that will disrupt the mold and send the spors everywhere

you need professional mold remediation

your landlord should be paying for that-

I agree with Beth. You really should have a professional come in and check it out. You have no idea what's lurking behind there
