M$If you can't bleach what is on, then the only thing you can do is try to wash it off with a good liquid detergent and lots of hot water. Get lots of fresh air while working with it.
SEEK professional help, if there is a lot of it. The spores can get in your airways and lungs (and grow) and be toxic and/or deadly.

M$Steps to take to get rid of mold
Before you clean, you may want to find out whether the mold you've found is toxic or merely of cosmetic concern. Our visible mold test kit will let you know for sure. If it is toxic, you may want to call a mold remediation specialist even if the area is small.
If you decide to clean small amounts of mold yourself, please take precautions. Disturbing mold may release harmful spores into the air, which can worsen allergy and asthma symptoms or cause your family to feel ill if the mold is toxic. For complete instructions on how to remove mold safely in your house (remember extensive mold contamination requires removal by trained people), read the Mould Guidelines for the Canadian Construction Industry available at the website of the Canadian Construction Association.
Wear disposable (throwaway) cloth, gloves and a dust mask
Enclose the area with plastic sheet to contain dust and prevent spread of spores
Turn the furnace or air conditioner off before you start
If the mold is growing on hard surfaces, simply wash, and dry the area thoroughly. Ensure the moisture problem is fixed even before attempting to clean the mold. It's a good idea to check the area regularly to be sure the clean up was effective
If mold is growing on surfaces that cannot be cleaned such as porous material, cut off the contaminated material and replace them with new material." From http://www.mouldfacts.ca/blog/2007/02/how-to-get-rid-of-black-mold-safely.html
