I usually do three iterations of this to make sure I have gotten as many of the mold spores as humanly possible. I even blow my sticks off after with compressed air (if you do this be careful)

In my three instances of mold, never has it come back.

You need to clean whatever they where in as well, bet thing is de natured alcohol.

If the mold isn't in the sticks (like the foot) you are ok and they should be fine to smoke from my experience.
Solid advice. It doesn't look that bad so they should clean up nicely. Definitely check the feet to make sure they don't have any signs of mold.

I also suggest lowering your RH to prevent this from recurring, which should be easy this time of year.
