How do I clean stainless steel pots?

Stainless Steel Pots and Pans Cleaning

A very effective kitchen cleaning product for stainless steel is baking soda. If you have burnt on spots, cover the stain with baking soda, cover with water and bring to a boil. Let it cool, then wash and the stain should come off easily. You can also make a paste of baking soda and water and let is sit on stains overnight. To polish and shine the outsides of your pans, you can use rubbing alcohol, but be sure to thoroughly dry them before using or heating them.

I have used this formula for years and it has never failed me.
Also, on copper bottomed stainless steel, I wet the bottom, pour some salt, then vinegar or lemon juice and wipe away. Shines so nicely.
