[TheForge] removing stains on stainless steel and aluminum pots and pans

[terry l. ridder]

hello;

while cooking the other day i noticed that nearly
every pot and pan is stained in some manner. i would
really like to remove the stains. i have tried copper
scouring pads and chlorine bleach alas the stains are
still there. roughly half of the pots and pans are
stainless steel and the other half aluminum.

i have googled "removing stains from pots and pans."
and have read many of the suggestions. in the past i
have tried several of the suggestions with no luck.

short of using fine grit wet/dry sandpaper or fine
grade steel wool or even my dremel tool with polishing
rogue; would anyone have suggestions for removing the
stains?
