Bar Keepers Friend Powdered Cleanser 12-Ounces (1-Pack) (Packaging May Vary)

I first bought Bar Keepers Friend to clean my stainless steel kitchen sink, but I like Comet better for that. It seems to leave a better luster. For cleaning burned on food or cooking oil residue from stainless steel cookware, though, there is nothing else that even comes close to this. The label says to not let it sit on the cookware for more than a minute or so but I suppose the strong ingredients are what make it work so well with a plastic scrubby.For some reason amazon's shipping is currently very slow for this product. Although sold and shipped by amazon, my estimated delivery date is more than a week from my order date, but perhaps it will come sooner. In any case not a big problem. Excellent product for certain purposes.

As I cleaned a stainless skillet today with Bar Keepers Friend, I was thinking I should write a review! The prompt to review it was perfectly timed. I cooked some tortillas at a very high heat and they left some dry, blackened areas on the pan. I let the pan cool a bit. wet it, sprinkled Bar Keepers Friend and used a plastic bristled brush to scour the pan. I brushed it for about a minute or so. It removed the burned on area amazingly fast. There have been times that I may have to do a second round to finish the job, but it gets them clean with less elbow grease or damage to the item than other tools or products. It's also great on the sink, removing little rust spots on my stainless refrigerator. I'm very sold on this product!

We use it for stained linoleum counters and acrylic bathtub/shower.Tip: sprinkle generously, get it damp and do a quick scrub/spread it around. Let it sit for a few minutes and then scrub, and you’ll reduce the labor a lot.Works incredibly well. Easy to just rinse or wipe up afterward, easy to use.Wish the top was easier to close, once you take the sticker off and shake out some powder, it’ll never really close again. It takes a long time to absorb enough moisture to get chunky in the container though and isn’t that hard to shake loose. Just I wish it closed in case a baby/toddler managed to get it. Smells a bit odd, but it’s not strong and I hate strongly fragranced products anyway.

I bought this to see if it would remove fine scratches from my previously shiny and very expensive stainless steel sink. The sink lost its shine when our housekeeper (who is no longer our housekeeper) used stovetop cleaner instead of SS cleaner on it, and ruined the surface with the abrasives. It did not work, and the sink is still irreparably scratched. I learned, however, that it contains oxalic acid-- wood bleach. I needed wood bleach, because the same housekeeper had used 50/50 white vinegar and water to clean our oak floors. After years if this (while we were at work), it removed the finish, and some areas became stained with mold. Oxalic acid is expensive and can't be bought in small quantities. This was perfect. I made it into a slurry with a little water, left it on the stains overnight, and wiped them down the next morning. It took two applications, but the stains are gone! I have been told it will also remove rust from sinks and other surfaces.

This product is so handy to have around! Use on my glass top stove for stubborn stains or boil overs!

Great cleaner I use it everydayCleaned my sink beautiful.

product works good

I've been using this for over 20 years and won't allow myself to run out. It works fantastic on my All Clad/stainless steel cookware and pure copper cookware. It makes them look like new and I usually don't bother to soak them. Just don't use it on cast iron or non-stick cookware. I also use it to clean my glass top stove, my stainless steel and aluminum moka coffee makers, and to remove glue residue from glass bottles after removing labels.The trick is to barely dampen the powder so that it makes a very thick paste (thick enough to stick together and hold its shape but not crumble). It will clean a lot faster and efficiently and remove the toughest, thickest, burned on, cooked in, stuck on messes with a little elbow grease and no need to soak. A little goes a long way so it is also very affordable.
