I found a mold stain on a pillow case

It's one of my favourite pillow cases. I washed it maybe about a month ago approx and then left it hanging on a clothes horse. I meant to pick it up and bring it to my room.

I got it today and I noticed a very small mold patch. It's a silk pillow case with cotton on the bottom. It's the cotton piece that has it.

How would I be able to get rid of that mold spot?

Do I use bleach?

I once sprayed a blind with HG mould remover, left for an hour then machine washed - good as new. That was a bathroom blind though.
personally I wouldn’t use bleach incase it discoloures

Is the cotton part white? If so, i would use a mild bleach or oxyaction spray, just make sure it doesn’t touch the silk!!

I have successfully gotten black mould out of Cotten by soaking for hours in oxyaction, then soaking in a bleach solution.

It's not white. It's a light coloured cream.

To be honest I don't care about a bleach blotch stain. I just want to get rid of the mold.

I have Milton at home. Would that work. Maybe pour some Milton on the mold spot and leave it to soak.
