For non-porous materials, use 1 parts hydrogen peroxide combined with 3 parts water. Again, pour solution a spray bottle. Spray over mold surface then wipe off with clean towel. Hydrogen peroxide is a little less than a dollar.
Another inexpensive mold removal alternative is to borax paste made by combining borax and water. Spread the paste on the mold surface then scrub off molds. Rinse surface with clean water. Borax can be found on the same isle as laundry cleaners and 16 ounces is just around 80 cents.
Another way to use borax is to combine I cup of it with 1 quart water. Cover the entire infested area, and let dry but do not rinse just yet. After several days, vacuum surface after a few days.
Australian tea tree essential oil is bit expensive than other homemade products. However, when mixed with water and sprayed on mold surface, the bang is worth the buck.

Still, the most inexpensive way of removing molds would still be to prevent them from growing in their first place. See to that there's sufficient air and light in every place in your home always, and that there's proper moisture and humidity level all the time.
