The nice thing about stainless steel, is that it's stainless. You only
need to get foodstuff off. Any "stains" you are looking at are not
embeded into the metal. You can scrub it with anything you want.
Cleaser is a good one after a brillo scrubbing. Copper is a different
story. Usually, a good scrub and polish is warranted a couple times a
year.
