You cannot take a turtle's shell off. If you look at a turtle shell you will notice the spine connected to the shell. It would be very hard to take of the shell, and when you did, the turtle will die. TURTLE'S SHELLS DON'T COME OFF WITHOUT KILLING THE TURTLE.

Don't worry about the inside of the shell molding. It's like if you go swimming and instead of using a towel to dry off you just stand there. You don't mold. Or the inside of your mouth. It is constantly moist but never wet.

Now I'm no professional on how to clean turtles, but I would try soaking your turtle in a soap bath. Try researching if you need special turtle soap to wash turtles.

Also, reptiles just tend to stink. Like if you never took a shower you would stink. Unlike cats, turtles don't wash themselves.
