Wow.

I just cleaned the kitchen sink with a cleanser we found at my grandmother's house called "Bar Keeper's Friend." Based on the smell, I believe the warning not to get it in your eyes, but using it is worth the risk - this stuff kicks Soft Scrub's ass! It easily returned the sink to a shiny white. I tried it on the rust stains in my bathroom sinks as well, and it did a respectable job there too. It takes a little extra work to rinse it cleanly off, but I think I've found a new favorite cleanser.

And, if you happen to burn a pan, just sprinkle a liberal coating (cover the botton of the pan) with Barkeepers then gently add some hot water and let it soak for a few hours (I do it overnight). It makes cleaning the pot a lot easier! If it's really burned (black) you might redo the process, but hand scrubbing & some elbow grease with more Barkeepers usually gets it all! If nothing else you'll remember not to burn anything again!
