When I moved in, I had everything but the studs/conduit ripped out of the basement, which cost about $2,500. Then I had it disinfected.
Where did your water come from?
Good luck to you.
I recommend a product called Milgo SR. It is a true antibacterial detergent that will kill the mold. There is also a hospital grade cleanser that is so strong it will even kill the HIV virus.
With either one you just follow the directions, spray on, wait at least 10 minutes and wipe off excess. But you don't need to really scrape off the excess, let it sit, and then clean the area with scour pads like you are sanding the wall.
The 50/50 bleach idea is a common one, but not entirely effective. It will bleach the mold and it will go dormant. Then you will think it is dead, but the spores will still have a chance to live and grow back in the future.
But you need to find the source of the moisture first before you spend the money on the cleaners.
Good luck
