Use a spray bottle with some bleach (and water). ~
Protect yourself with breathing filter.
Mold is a sign of moisture in the area. If you don't have an exhaust fan in the bath, you may need to install one. Another wise you need to find where the moisture is coming from. Leaking roof, water pipe? And yes plain old laundry variety bleach will kill mold.
First correct the water problem causing the mold growth or it will keep returning no matter what kind/type of clean-up you are doing. If the mold covers a large area you may want to have a remediation expert inspect the property and have it corrected to avoid liability/lawsuit in the future if it's a rental property
Use striaght clorox in a spray bottle. Spray and let it set- the mold will disappear, the when it is completely dry apply a good sealent-such as clear varnish or Bin. This will stop regrowth. I would then check my tub/shower for where the leak has come from.
Get a spray bottle at walmart for a buck and ad 25% bleach and 75% water. Wear clothes you DON"T care about while spraying it.
