Absolutely! The cheapest 25p a litre (or whatever it is) will work just fine and kill all mould stone dead. Swab it on CAREFULLY with a small sponge, but take great care not to get it on the outside finish of the cabinet, or your clothes or the carpet as it WILL bleach! Then make sure you let the cabinet dry thoroughly before using the item. It's no good just drying something out without killing the mould first, as it'll just come back when the atmosphere is damp again. If you have to use it on the outside of a cabinet, then wash it off almost immediately with several applications of a wet sponge.
