How do you clean ring around the toilet?

Bleach kills mold instantly. Try a cleaner with bleach and scrub with a brush. Pour bleach into the bowl and let it sit. Then scrub as usual. If your problem is also with rust in the bowl, nothing I have found works better than Iron Out. You can purchase this in most grocery stores and department stores. I have seen it work on toliets that would simply not come clean with any other product. In most cases, it is not possible or desirable to sterilize an area; a background level of mold spores will remain - these spores will not grow if the moisture problem has been resolved. If you choose to use disinfectants or biocides, always ventilate the area and exhaust the air to the outdoors. Never mix chlorine bleach solution with other cleaning solutions or detergents that contain ammonia because toxic fumes could be produced.
