How Do You Remove Black Mold?

I have two booster seats for my five-year-old daughter to use in the car. The one I like best is a Grace TurboBooster and it has a comfy back. But, I left the seat bottom out on the porch one rainy night and by the next hot and muggy afternoon, the seat cover and arm covers had begun to get black mold spots.

I have tried soaking, bleach, and scrubbing with Tide. I have succeeded in fading the color of the car seat, but the mold has refused to withdraw in the least. Since I am allergic to mold, as is my daughter, I decided the covers are a loss.

I called Graco just now and was able to purchase a replacement set cover and the arm covers for $27.95, which includes tax and shipping. That is more than the most of a brand new backless booster. But, alas, I want the booster to have a back and I want it to match the cover for the seat back. So, I felt stuck.

Anyway, all of this is a rambling way to ask if anyone has a miracle tips as to how to remove black mold spots from fabric.
