Rug cleaner solutions

From reader Tetley_girl:

My friend used plain old Mr. Clean on her rugs with a carpet cleaner, and she said it worked better than any "rug shampoo" she's ever used.

From reader Jennmommy4:

oxi clean is the best thing...i too used mr clean but oxi clean is amazing and has almost no foam at all.

I am having a problem. We just moved into a house where all the counter tops in the kitchen are stainless steel. I can get them shiny for the most part. I have rust spots all over though, like where something wet was set on there or the kids spilled something and didn't clean it up or mention it! How do I get rid of those spots?

No, I'm not flirting with you, Wink is a rust remover that works well, but it's caustic, be careful and wear gloves, rinse really, really well.
