People say vinegar is a degreaser, but nobody can explain the chemistry behind the claim. Vinegar is just as effective on grease and oils as water in my experience.
OP isn't using the soap to kill mold. It's to allow water to penetrate the hydrophobic coating and wet the mold, which prevents it from becoming airborne when disturbed by the bleach spray.
Bleach kills all microorganisms, period. What more do you want it to do?
50/50 water and sodium hydroxide, not only kills mold but leaves nice chemical burns on flesh.
Also removes metallic spray paint as if it's water colors. Didn't work on black so well.
True story, I was standing under a 2,500 gallon tank that decided to overflow, not a drop landed on me. I knew then, when it's your time, it's your time, and nothing you can do about it.
