If it is corroded put coca cola, with brush or clothe, get it realy wet and leave overnite and it will come out.

It seems there are so many people who barely brush on this and I've heard so many contradictory statements, it's been very difficult to understand what's right. 

FWIW - I've been told when they give you these/ask you for one of these it's a "brush off" - not sure what others' have to say about that here - but 2 or 3 commercial investors in the last month have told me that.

LandscapingThe overall property needed new mulch for a fresh look, brushes trimmed and some removed, and new bushes/shrubs planted.

We own and self manage about 800 single family properties (90% Single Family Homes and 10% multi family), build new construction for rent (no custom builds or for other people; however one of the LLC's holds a general contractors license so it bills back all expenses of the build to the entity building the house and most payroll is ran through it as well), we have a warehouse with over 10K skews for material we buy in bulk (shingles, flooring, hot water heaters all the way down to individual plumbing connectors and paint brushes) and we buy about 200 properties a year with the vast majority of them needing extensive rehabs.

Brush your shoulders off and move on, good luck! 

There are good neighborhoods in the midtown, etc. so I'm not painting with a broad brush. 

This is nothing .a general handyman can put some boarding in the sink floor , make some new doors , paint it to match  .then go to home  depot for modern stylish brushed nickel handles and it would look 1000x better with probably only 5-700$ of total work depending on how fancy you went . 

In the second bathroom, why do you have a gold door handle and brushed nickel faucet and shower kit?

Once you have the grease out of the porous surface (maybe use a surficant like dish soap with a scrub brush, and let it sit, then hose it off--a few times).Just my 2 cents.
