I have a 1945 house with plaster walls. There is mold forming in the corners mostly. How would I get rid of this?

A solution of 50% water and 50% bleach will kill the mold, but you need to figure out where the moisture is coming from or the mold will return.

I am guessing the moisture is coming from a lack of insulation between the siding and plaster walls. I recently blew insulation into the walls though, so I’m hoping that will keep any future mold from forming.
