Wooden Rockers Have Molded

We have two white rockers from Cracker Barrel on our front porch. They have molded and I can't seem to get them clean. The front porch does stay shaded almost all day. I need some ideas for how to clean them. I have tried bleach, scrubbing with soap, and a magic eraser. Thanks.

Sand them down then either a/ apply creosote or b/bleach then let them dry then use clear varnish rather than wax or apply paint of your chosen colour then varnish the varnish is the important part to prevent it happening again.

Set them out in the sun to kill the mold. In the "OLD" days, people layed their clothes out in the grass to bleach them white. Sounds simple to me!

Formula 409 works for me.

Try spraying Tilex on them.

Try some white vinegar--it might work.
