one heaped teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a half filled pot boil and stir with a wooden spoon until clean, amazing!

I too have heard about the link between alzheimers and aluminium, believe it or not I was told 15 years ago by a lady who was 74 at the time - she wouldn't even use it for the animals.
And she is still going strong now ( her only admission to age is that she gets on her horse by climbing off the fence - I'm not joking )
Seriously, get stainless steel ( cast iron are a **tch to clean sometimes)
If you use brillo or whatever to scour aluminium you are scraping the metal off along with the dirt. Everytime you cook this is going into your food.

I hate to say that the pot will probably never be safe for food again no matter what you do to try and clean it. Throw it out and buy a new one. And next time you drain motor oil or transmission fluid from your vehicle, use old coffee cans or something other than a cooking pot.

you don't! you scrap aluminium and buy stainless steel or cast iron for example!
aluminium is bad for your health, and each time you use an aluminium pot a little of the aluminium gets in to the food you are cooking, over time this builds up in the body leading to all sorts of health problems!
good luck!
and if you are still wanting to risk cleaning the pots then ordinary washing up liquid, and a sponge should be fine, if there is anything burned on then you need to leave to soak for up to 48hours with a little washing up liquid in HOT water.
but scapping the aluminium pots should be your first response unless money is a real problem. in which case start saving to buy new pots as soon as you can afford them.

Bio de-gradable washing tablets like Arial. Put hot water into the pots and then crumble the tablets into them, wait for a little while and anything on the pan will come away easily. I was amazed with the results

Throw them away and buy stainless steel.
There is a theory that food cooked in Aluminium saucepans absorbs aluminium salts that are ultimately deposited in the brain, causing Alzheimer's disease.

Depends if they're stick or not stick! If you want them bright and shiny, try out QVC's website for Astonish, in fact...here's a link.
Saw it demonstrated....brings everything up looking like new in about 15 mins! And has loads more applications...

Pour boiling water in them and drop in tissue called Bounce, they are used to put in tumble dryers but certainly clean all pans. Even takes stuck on burned stuff from roasting tins. Leave soaking overnight

Aluminium is degraded by acids and acidic fruit such as rhubarb.
Aluminium is implicated in some degenerative brain diseases.
It might be safe just to scrub them!
