Paint doesn't remove mold. Vinegar does.

Prep is they key to a successful paint job that will endure the test of time. If you skip the prep, the paint job will fail in the short term. Honestly the prep takes more time than the actual painting.
What type of floor are you painting? Since you mention you don't have a pressure washer, shall I assume it is a concrete floor? Is this a patio?
Magic erasers also remove mold easily, if it is just a thin layer on top of the paint.
Paint won't stop mold or remove
Bleach works great. Still need to clean it ad do prep on whatever floor you have.
