Is there a mixture I can make up to clear sooty mold from my shrubs?

A light mixture of soapy water would work and wont harm your shrubs, a few drops of common dish soap will to every few gallons. The soapy water will also help rid the plant of the aphids which is causing the sooty mold to develop. It may take several applications to completely remove the aphids and clear the sooty mold, be sure to spray the top and bottom surfaces of the leaves.
