Here is some savvy advice from fellow list member Harry Yates.  This remedy
worked beautifully for me.  If the moldy patches are large enough you may
want to use a larger brush.  Here is Harry's advice:
<Charles, for mold control, use 1/2 teaspoon liquid bleach to 1/2
litre of water.  I apply with a toothbrush, wait 5 minutes, and then
rinse with water.  Don't get area wetter than you have to.  Chamois
most of the surface dry, and then let properly dry using heat if
necessary.  We have a Miata that we use this method on every year to
keep things under control in our wet climate on the "wet coast".

Your approach to use the crystals to absorb water is excactly how we
store our Westy.  It works!  We use a Dry-Z-Air in the van between
trips and over winter.

Hope this helps
Harry.>
