What to use to clean mould off walls?

I have really bad mould on painted walls around my kitchen window (caused by terrible condensation) Getting new kitchen extractor fan but need to clean it all off and re-paint. I’ve heard bleach doesn’t get rid of spores, but what do I use instead? It’s a large patch.
I’m also thinking of tiling around the inside of the window frame so I can wipe off the condensation and not have to continually re-paint - has anyone done this and can advise? Thanks

The HG mould spray really is good

Don't use bleach it doesn't kill it, just bleach's it so you can't see it and encourages it to grow back.

White vinegar is all you need.

I've heard cider vinegar helps, but have only tried bleach. Also there is a mould inhibiting paint you can use as an undercoat to help prevent further mould.
