Over the years, I've used hydrogen peroxide on the occasional viable ball, jungle and king egg that began to grow mold. I applied it full strength with a Q-tip and wiped away the excess hp and displaced mold after a minute or so of bubbling action. I then allowed the egg(s) to air dry before putting it(them) back into the incubation container. As Dr. Michaels stated, the mold "roots" often live through the procedure and I usually ended up repeating the wipe weekly until the egg hatched, or more rarely, succumbed. Good luck.
