black mold can kill you so get rid of the washing machine
Pour straight chlorine bleach over the mold. DO NOT SCRUB UNTIL IT'S DRY!! If you do, you will just redistribute the mold spores. After it's dry, it will be a grayish jelly-type stuff. Clean with a scrub brush. Repeat once a week for a month.
Bleach, or vinegar mixed with bi-carb, or a commercial mould-killer spray.
Black mold is VERY dangerous, it's toxic and you need to be sure to get rid of all of it. Obviously there is a leak and you will need to seal or fix it so the mold doesn't come back, also a dehumidifier is something you'll want to get in that room to prevent more mold from forming.
Before cleaning the area, you should seal it off as best as you can. This will prevent the mold from disseminating to other areas of the home while it is being cleaned, since cleaning can disturb and stir up the mold, causing mold spores to become airborne & spread to other areas to germinate.
Properly sealing (contain) a room consists of using plastic sheeting sealed with duct tape to cover doorways, vents, and other openings to occupied areas.
If possible, you should place an exhaust fan next to an open door or window that is open to the outdoors. This will create negative air pressure, which will direct air flow outside, and therefore mold spores that have been stirred during cleaning will also be channeled outside.
If the surface you are cleaning is dry, you should mist with water. Then clean the affected area w/soap to remove as much of the mold as possible, and then apply a disinfectant to kill mold spores that are left behind. Thoroughly clean all surfaces in the area that contain visible mold, and even surfaces that do not have visible mold, since mold spores are microscopic very durable. Once a surface has been cleaned and disinfected, it should be completely dried.
Carefully remove and discard mold and mold-infested materials into heavy-duty plastic bags. Do not transport the bags throughout the house, especially other clean areas. Doing so will risk further spreading and regerminating of the mold. Instead, it is a good idea to get the bags outside through a window or other opening accessible to the room/area being cleaned, if possible. These bags with the mold contaminated materials can be taken to any landfill.
Toss out all materials you used to clean the mold as well.
