Well with a lot of rain in colorado, and a bum sump pump, my basement took on some water. we got it fixed, after being under 2 inches of water for about 6 hours. its an unfinished basement thankfully, but we still had stuff there. we had fans down there for a day or 2 and let it dry after a company sucked all the water out. now, we have a little bit of white mold on the cement. Whats the best spray to kill said mold on the concrete and my belongings? i'd like to kill this mold before it turns bad, and before we get black mold. also, any other tips on restoring the damage?

We have used pure bleech to kill mold. Just put in a sprayer and go to spraying.

and just let the bleach dry-don;t rinse it off-
It will etch the concrete-but the grey will come back in a few years-

Is it white mold or is it just mineral staining?

A white staining is very common on basement walls where there has been leaking etc.
