    A highly acidic water or very salty water will do that. After my softener cycles it may happen. I have enough iron in my water to have a squirt gun considered a deadly weapon. Also, some common mouthwash products for teeth will stay on the water/sink as an oil and they will really do a fast number on steel. Yup; don't ask!

    I will try very hot water next time. Thanks a lot!
