Cleaning a stubborn vintage mug? - Collecting Tiki

It was as if nothing would remove the crud, no matter how much washing I did. After letting it soak with dish suds and hot water for a few days I ended up using a brillo pad. I used a knife to push the brillo pad down securely and spun it around multiple times, while rinsing w/ hot water. After a few tries (actually about 10 solid minutes) I was able to clean it up. I havent tried a brillo on the outside of a mug so I cant recommend that.
