the easiest way is to mix up 1part muratic acid to 4 parts water and dip it in that for 30 mins it will come out like new with no scrubing...
then just rinse real good with water....

Yeah, I just assumed you would read the cautions, sorry I didnt dissclaim that first off....... but you can not breath the fumes so you must do it out doors and wear latex gloves, after all it is acid.....
