Background: water leak from water heater pipe in attic, undetermined number of days. Fortunately, damage limited to garage-area shop, walled with half-inch particle board. Demoed that last night, removing spray-in foam insolation. Drywall on the other side, while not wet, appears to have mold.
Question: is there an effective mold treatment that will keep me from having to replace the drywall? Any other precautions? TIA

Denatured alcohol works too

No product will remove the mold. I work in mold remediation. Drywall is a porous material and should be removed to be 100% safe. Shoot me a PM and I'll point you to some products to treat the studs with. FYI. Bleach and alcohol do not kill mold. Only make mold look like it's gone.
