I would try a sprinkling baking soda then pouring vinegar on it. Try slightly wetting the bottom and putting baking soda & salt and scrubbing that. Then try SOS pads. If that doesn't work, pour some ammonia into bucket, wad u0p some newspaper and stuff in the bottom, wrap it in a plastic garbage bag and leave in the sun for all day. One of these things will work. Let me know.

I have several stainless steel water buckets that aren't that old - they have some type of corrosion or whatever on the inside bottom of them - how do I get these back in usable condition, or is there no way to do this? I think it was from water standing in them too long, and drying in the bucket - the corrosion is whitish crusty stuff...is there something that will dissolve this stuff BUT not harm the buckets or make them unusable for drinking out of?
