They are a pain! Warm soapy water and a stiff scrub brush.
This information should help:

Using an old stiff toothbrush and some warm soapy water may do it!
I usually use an old toothbrush too, but if that doesn't work, try some fine steel wool or a steel wool soap pad.
You can purchase steel wool brushes in various lengths and sizes, I think that would be perfect for this!
spray with Fantaskic cleaner, scrub with old toothbrush then wipe away the grime - also Mr Clean Magic Erasers will work on this
Yes, steel wool or wire brush. Something like this:

Just don't use vinegar with steel wool. This turns into a stain. I accidentally did that one time. lol.
Thank you I will try and let you know!
