How to Remove Mold From Stainless Steel

Mold spores, a living organism and member of the fungus family, thrive on porous surface. Clean stainless steel isn't conducive enough for mold development, but dirt, debris or mineral deposits on stainless steel provide a suitable surface for mold to grow. To prevent mold development on your stainless steel, you must keep it clean. Once mold already exists, you can remove the mold stains and get rid of any accompanying odor with common household supplies.
