White Vinegar is a good thing to clean stains on pots I've found. Doesn't work on everything, but the mild acid will take the film off stainless with ease and might help yours.
And try scrubbing it with comet and a dobbie scrubber. It has built up residue that will come off.
No, not everyone's pots look like that. We clean our pots at my house...even the 12 year old kids would not accept that as clean.
Scrub it!
And keep the dishes clean and the fruit put away and you will not have the flies--they are there because they are laying eggs on something that is growing into maggots then flies. How many fly eggs and maggots are you eating each day?
Dirty pillow, yellow tee shirts, washed leather, moldy toilet.
Sorry for ragging on you OP but this is why kids should be taught how to clean properly at a young age and pitch in. Sadly while we think you are asking simple questions most should know by 14 you are not alone, not by far. I knew someone who in his late 20's didn't realize dawn is not for the dishwasher or how to wash laundry (mommy still does it). each year at the campus there were always overflows and fires from kids who didn't know how to make KD or heat a can of zoodles, wash laundry or dishes.
anyway. I don't have enamel ware (I own stainless) but there's a cleaner that gets years of ick of pots and pans. used it was fab results when I made a second hand but pricey set look brand new. if you have stainless pots, this works wonders.

The pot in the photo- a shop that sells these types of pots and get their recommendation of how to care and clean them.
You can scrub the inside of the pot with baking soda. Sprinkle some into the dry pan, add a couple drops of water to make a paste, and scrub with a paper towel until the stains are gone. You may have to repeat it a few times. My mom used pans that were white on the inside and outside, I think they were the older Corningware pans. Anyhow, they weren't considered clean until they were perfectly white, inside and out, and we couldn't use bleach or cleanser on them, so we used baking soda.
I think the Mr. Clean eraser would work too, just be sure to wash it very well after that.
I haven't seen all your threads about cleaning, but I just wanted to say that you can teach yourself a good cleaning routine. Make a checklist to be done every day and one to be done one day a week. For example, on the daily checklist would be washing dishes, wiping counters in kitchen and bathroom, emptying trash if full, and sweeping the kitchen floor. On the weekly checklist would be laundry, changing sheets, vacuuming and mopping, dusting, clearing clutter and cleaning the bathroom. Tell yourself the daily list has to be done before you can go to bed and the weekly list has to be done on your day off from work, before you can do anything fun. It's only bad if you're not keeping up with it. If you're cleaning regularly, then there's not much to do and it's pretty quick...maybe 30 minutes each day and three hours on the day you do the bigger cleaning.
