Stainless Steel Brown Staining

Stainless Steel Brown Staining

Stainless Steel Brown Staining

(OP)
I have some stainless steel exposed to open air in a warm climate that is showing some brown "gunk" similar to iron contamination.  I think that the corrosion may be caused from iron containing bacteria on the surface.  What dio you think?  How can I get rid of this?
  

RE: Stainless Steel Brown Staining

Stainless is sometimes a misnomer. Some grades will yield to visible rust.
