When a little mold grows on my reeds, I simply dip my finger in a little water and spread it over the reed. The mold works in your favor that way by closing the pores in the reed, keeping them from waterlogging. This is something Giggliotti would do, and teach his students as well. (It probably originated from Bonade.)
It may sound gross, but it works. And I have yet to get ill or see anyone else from doing this.
If the mold were allowed to severely encompass the reed, I'd probably have my reservations. It could probably be rinsed off and still be fine.
