Any good ideas on cleaning mold from window seals? We have just a little bit on the metal frame and some on the dry wall.
Any one know any good mold cleaning ideas that isn't designed for glass or porcelain, because the drywall can't be scrubbed as hard as a sink?

Direct application of vinegar will kill it. Then you'll want to use dry heat to dry it out. It will probably reoccur on the dry wall, and usually you'll have to remove the affected dry wall section.

Heavily diluted bleach or vinegar, followed by a blow dryer. We have a couple closets that sprout black mold in the early spring and late fall, and this is the remedy.

I second the bleach. I would use an all-purpose cleaner with bleach added. You will also want to think about where the moisture is coming from. We added a dehumidifier to the room and it helped get rid of the mold. It may be that fixing or replacing the window is necessary in the long term to prevent recurrence.

Half-strength bleach is what I used when we lived in a place with black mold coming in through a crack (blech.) It killed it and stopped the spread, and I didn't see it again.
