Sorry but don't have any idea what a "Katana" is. I live in an extremely high heat and humidity area where just about everything leather attracts mold and mildew. It's never been found on the large leather sofas on which I use Mr. Leather. Whether this is a result of the product or the tanning process in the leather sofas, I really don't know. I sincerely doubt that the product would "ruin" your "Katana"--try just a little on an inconspicuous spot and see if there's any problems.

It depends on the katana. A low-quality katana's (or what some people may call, "mall katana") blade can break or wear down if cut through bone (i.e. the skull or neck) while a higher quality can cut through steel with ease. I would not put my life on the line with this katana in the event of a zombie apocalypse considering the material used.

No, not damaged. That is very common with stainless steel. Bar Keepers Friend does work amazingly well to clean problem things that may happen to stick or discolor, but I try not to use that product unless I really have to as ewg.org considers it one of the most toxic household cleaners and cautions against using it. So, I always first try straight white vinegar first and that almost always solves my problems and gets it shining like new.

No - mine has been fine the entire time. My only complaint is the fungal build-up... have to use vinegar every few weeks to clean it out.

I guess it would depend on how much mold and how covered, I would use soap and water with a abrasive brush or sponge, then I would use disinfectant wipes and thoroughly clean it. If it still doesn't come off after doing that two or three times, I'm not sure it would be wise to use it again.

I have gotten some mold off. It wasn't badly molded but it did take it off. I do recommend buying a bottle of Genesis 950 cleaner to add to your solution. It is amazing stuff and really cleans/disinfects. You can buy it online direct from the company-Amerikal Products. It's well worth it and all you add is a capful of solution.

it wilyl clean the mold and mildew. It probably won't clean the soap scum. Unlikely to cause any harm.

Yes, this is most definitely a problem!!! It means that the tang of the blade ( the part of the blade inside the handle ) is broken somewhere in the handle. Either that or the wooden covering over the tang is broken. Both are serious flaws and will cause the sword to break if it is used. I bought the hand-and-a-half sword too from Amazon and it had the same flaw yours has. If you ordered it from Amazon, they will replace it as long as you've had it for less than thirty days.

After I installed it, it had the new rubber bellows smell, over time this will leave, you need to keep the bellows clean and dry after using, this will prevent the mold smell from forming.

I have not seen mold on mine as of yet, I will be keeping an eye on them. I spent a lot of money for all the pieces I bought. We keep our furniture in the garage during the winter weather. With the covers on!

Mine did mildew when some damp washcloths were tossed into the bottom. In addition, the moisture caused our bamboo floor under the hamper to mildew. I still love this hamper, but the honest answer to your question is yes it will mildew.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.slipxsolutions.com/materials. I have had them since August, and haven't noticed any mold or mildew buildup. Hope this helps you find what you need to know.

Once I found mold in ours I was unable to remove the taste. I cleaned with various small brushes, soaked in bleach water, then vinegar and it's was still there.

The short answer: it probably can, but could destroy your things in the process. This product is extremely strong bleach, so don't use it on anything you're not comfortable bleaching. If it were me, I'd use a diluted white vinegar solution to clean mold off fabric or leather. Or, if you have one available, a UV sanitizing wand. I have one and use it to remove mold and germs from things that are not safe to get wet. Good luck!

It took the odor out of wood cabinets with a terrible mildew smell, but it took a long time. Since leather is also porous, it might. At the very least, it might make the odor less.

I haven't noticed any mildew or mold around the edge, but we have it inside. We have 4 medium sized dogs and a cat that use it, and we fill it up every other day or so. I wash it out once a week with soap and water, but it doesn't visibly need to be cleaned.

a solution of vinegar and water sprayed lightly and rubbed into the material should help absorb the scent and eventually remove it. I don't believe it will damage it at all as it's not real leather. I've used vinegar to get smoker scents out of desks/chairs and other items, it works pretty well.
