Help!! Mold in my amps!! What's the fix?

I went today to clean out our "climate controlled/humidity controlled" storage room and found mold all over the place. The manager on duty fessed that the facilities ac unit was out of service for 2 days. This place is normally 65 degrees or so, so I'm sure the swing to 100 degrees + and back in Texas is the culprit. Anyway, long story short, my BFDR and Matchless are covered in mold. Has anyone ever remediated an amp? I'm hesitant to bring anything home as we have 2 young children and don't want the mold to spread. Anyone dealt with this?

Thanks-
GW

Wipe them down with bleach diluted with water.

remove the chassis, reverb tanks and speakers, and inspect them as well. The speaker cones could very well have mold on them, too.

Not fun
