Default Cleaning the sheet metal after carpets been remove

I just had to remove all the carpet out because of a leak in the trunk which eventually reached up into cabin and began to grow mold within the carpet and underneath the carpet also. I am trying to figure out what to use to clean the exposed areas of sheet metal with, while getting rid of the mold also. Any and all suggestions are wanted, please.

I own 2 boats and mold is a perpetual problem---the best way to kill it is to use regular Clorox bleach----dilute it about 5-6 parts water to one part Clorox in a spray bottle (available at any walmart or target for a couple of bucks) and spray the entire area til it's totally wet--that way you'll get the bleach into every nook and cranny---mold spores are much too small for the human eye to see and they can live forever dried out and will grow once they are exposed to moisture again--you want to have the bleach water solution hit every area to make sure all the spores are dead . let it sit a few minutes then just soak it up with paper towels and let it dry.
