Check at your local hardware store for a mold removal solution. If it's minor, white vinegar will clean mold spores. Then you can clean the area. Just make sure you remove the source of the dampness causing the mold.
Hi Janet - 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

When we moved houses, we had an engineer come out and look at some leaking cracks and mold in our crawl space. Once the cracks were patched, he had us simply spray all the mold with a bleach water solution.
If your basement is always damp, definitely invest in a dehumidifier. Without ours, the basement gets musty and moldy in summer weather.
