Crib Cherry

Should I try to clean the green mold off my baby's crib?

Our garage recently flooded. My daughter's crib was being stored there. Although we raised the crib out of the water's way, it still ended up getting a light dusting of green mold (as did all my baby gear). The crib is a finished cherry wood and is about 6 years old. My husband and I are wondering if we can remove the mold with bleach solution (baby #2 is on the way), or should we throw it out? Any thoughts or suggestions regarding treatment would be appreciated!
My husband and I looked at the crib, and decided to pitch it. Maybe if it was our bed, we'd give it a go, but bcs it's the baby's and more spores could be hiding in cervices after it's cleaned, we decided to play it safe. Thanks for all of your input!!!

I think you should throw it out and buy a new one. You could kill the mold with clorox, but since you baby will probably, at some time, chew on the rail. I wouldn't risk it.
