Ruth The "mold remover" products you buy at the hardware store contain bleach. I've had pretty good success using one of those products. I don't know if I would vacuum the mold. It will stick to the inside of the vacuum hose, and you'll wind up with the stuff all over your car, or where ever you store your vacuum cleaner.

I’ve heard to just vacuum off the old mold, clean it with a mild detergent solution, rinse & dry. Also noted that bleach is not the solution to use. Is this about right??
