Make sure you don't spray the oven cleaner directly on the pipe. Put it on a rag and wipe it onto the pipe. Overspray will make a real mess. Oven cleaner works well. Leave it on for a couple of hours and stain will wipe right off.

Steel wool and brillo pads seem like they would scratch the chrome to me. Ive heard the penny works but it has to be a pre 1984 penny from what I hear because of the copper content. Never tried the easy off either but that sounds good if it doesnt require abrasively scrubbing the chrome.
