Last I knew Ammonia Kills Mold, mainly So you can Spray your Window Cleanser on the Sill.
Baking soda and white vinegar.
Vinegar!

I clean mine with Windex when I clean the windows. If you have mold/mildew you could clean them with bleach water to help with staining. Follow with a good spray of full strength vinegar to kill any mold/mildew spores that cleaning didn't remove. Vinegar is one of the best antibacterial and antifungal agents that there is, and super cheap, too. I keep a spray bottle of vinegar in the kitchen all the time for cleaning everywhere in the house. Let the vinegar dry if you can, or at least let it set on the area for ten or fifteen minutes to do its work the best. I hope this helps you with your mold, Sarah, if there is a dampness problem, it may come back, but the vinegar will hopefully keep it away longer.
Bleach and water
Hi Sarah - There are several ways to get rid of mold, but most importantly, you need to address the root cause to keep it from returning. This article focuses on the bathroom, but is an overall great article that covers methods of how to remove mold, if bleach is safe to use, and how to prevent it from coming back. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

You may have a defective sill plate, causing water to remain on the sill and be absorbed into the surrounding space. Have a carpenter check it out and see if replacement sills are needed.
Vinegar kills the mold spores and is safe around animals.
YOu have to mix it with vinegar, but you can use the vinegar alone. You don't need baking soda unless you need to scrub.
