Yes, that would be a wise decision.
Don't know where I read it, if I even did, but I recall something to the effect about freezing the mold laden piece(s) and when froze, the mold will flake/fall off?

Decided to look it up.
The best thing to do is to either freeze the volumes first if they are not too large and then rub them down again with alcohol or to simply remove the mold with alcohol. I recommend freezing them first to make removing it easier.
