    first, find the water source and fix it, then use a 50/50 bleach to h2o mix and let it soak for 15 minutes,then DRY thoroughly. use a fan to complete the drying (or open windows to ventilate)be sure to wear gloves and goggles to protect your hands and eyes

        Contact a professional to find out what kind of mold you have. Some mold, if disturbed, can send spores into the air where it will infect the rest of your house. It can poison you if inhaled.

              Seal the moisture's entry point and have a mold remediation contractor give you an estimate.

                    ventilation ok? check and use ceiling fan if u have one, scrub the area with a strong bleach and once clear, use a scented disinfectant. Keep an eye on the area to avoid repeats. KEEP THE AREA CLEAN AND DRY ALL THE TIME.

                        I'd want a professional to look at the mold first. Mold can just be deadly.

                        Bleach and more bleach and a UV-C light.
