Would it help if after the clean and dry we put a dehumidifier in for a few days?
Yea - or maybe keep a humidifier there constantly?
Would it help if i drilled holes in the top and bottom of the door for airflow?
Yes, probably not a lot though

Sounds like an issue with moisture that can't escape condensing against the cold (external?) wall.
I would think about whether the air in your upstairs has any way of refreshing or circulating, and whether particularly damp air - from a bathroom or a bedroom - has any way of escaping.

/\ I can relate to that far to easily.
I've had a problem with damp for a few years, well more wet mould.
We had the gutters cleaned and the eaves finished with insulation, a few tiles replaced.
Its upstairs,which is odd, by the ceilings and skirtings, sometimes it comes down behind one of our bookcases but weve managed to reduce its ferocity loads. It does come back though, behind things like books that you won't see till you take said book off the shelf.
The other side of the room is a wardrobe that is like deaths cape. Thats the main issue.
We bleach the walls to kill the mould, leave the door open for a few days. Thing is its sweating, or rather condensating constantly. We cant use it.

It should have clothes in it not a portal to the RingWraiths bathroom!
TLDR;
I have a mouldy built in wardrobe can I drill holes in the door for airflow to fight the mould?
