how to clean discolored stainless steel?

KTdidit

Hi everyone, I have some stainless steel pots that have brownish discoloration, mostly underneath. I've used Comet (I know, not very EF, shame, but its last resort) and the scrubby pads and it still didn't work. Any suggestions? I just got a pot rack and I'd like them to be nice and clean and shiny if they will be out for the world to see.

Bar keepers friend. Got yucky stains off my pots and cutlery marks on my plates.

I second the Bar Keepers Friend suggestion. This stuff works miracles.

I love the green SOS pads, they do awesome work for me. But also, mix a mixture of baking soda, salt and water to make a paste. Let it sit and dry, or scrub. It does great stuff. On copper, use flour, salt and vinegar in the same way. Works great!!
