Teresa...Try a solution of hot water and a non-ammonia based cleaner. Spray and scrub with a stiff brush. You may need an old toothbrush for small areas. Good luck!
I would try a solution of dish soap & vinegar. Make sure they are dry after. Maybe use a fan to dry them. Sounds like they should be sealed. He paint product called Zinzer will seal in after you clean and prevent mildew Mold.
White cleaning vinegar will kill the spores.
If it is only on the surface, removing it with soapy water , vinegar and a good scrubbing will remove it. Make sure the cause of the moisture has been fixed and you have good sir circulation. If it has worked it's way into the finish, I would strip it down and refinish it.

Weiman Wood & Furniture Polishamazon.com$7.35 SHOP NOWTo remove mildew from wood cabinets, paneling, or furniture, vacuum the loose spores with the soft brush attachment. Then, clean small areas using a well-wrung cloth dipped in a few squirts of dishwasher detergent and a gallon of water. Rinse with a clean, water-dampened cloth and dry immediately with a fan. Don't oversaturate the wood, as it could warp and damage the finish. If a cloudy film forms, wipe the area with mineral spirits. Otherwise, apply a thin coat of Good Housekeeping Seal holder Weiman Furniture Polish to restore the shine and protect the finish.
