Default Mould killer needed

I posed this question in the alt.food.wine group before finding this
group. I would be glad of any further ideas.

I need to kill/clean mould fuzz from timber (untreated pine) shelves
etc in cellar (water leaked through roof during an unusually heavy
rainstorm). After reading about TCA and chlorine in the stelvin vs
cork debates, I suspected that chlorine based bleach type products are
not the best method to do this.

I was concerned that there might be some migration of either the
chlorine vapours through the cork (over time) to react with any
remaining bacteria/mould (the organic stuff that may be in some of the
cork that reacts with chlorine to form TCA).

Is there another mould killing product I can use to remove and
hopefully prevent regrowth of the mould? Its just a light fuzz on the
surface of the timber but it does have seem to have caused an odour in
the cellar.

Any input appreciated,
thanks, Steve
