Proud of you.
An Iron Out rust stain remover in a ridiculously easy-to-use gel formula that looks that looks those annoying orange stains right in the eye and says, "bring. it. on."

These are biodegradable and odor-free.Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon CustomerGet a 12-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in packs of 36 and 78).

It'll probably also work great on that cast-iron cauldron you've been eyeing all year.
