Bar Keepers Friend.

[Taltarzac725]

Worked great on our porcelain toilet. I just need to be careful with which surfaces I use it on.


Anyone else have success with Bar Keepers Friend?

I have used it on stainless steel sinks. But the only way I have found to remove heavy lime deposits from a toilet bowl is to rub it gently with a wet pumice stone.

I use it on my stainless steel pots and pans all the time.

I only use Old Dutch cleanser myself. And NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!

I use the Barkeepers friend soft cleaner for stainless steel on my glass cooktop too. It needs to be rinsed off well but it works.

I don’t use a pumice stone, I use a product that is made for that called Pumie. It erodes as you scrub with it. Looks like a pumice stone

Bar Keepers is the best! both powder and liquid..... 5 stars from me

Works great on scuffs on my porcelain tile.

It also works well on car windshield scratches. You have to apply it often, and use lots of pressure.

Really? Personally, I would never use any abrasive product on a car windshield.

Bar Keepers Friend needs to be applied for a minute and then wiped off quickly so the acid contains does not harm. I also use gloves when rubbing it.

Use it to take the rust stains off my painted driveway. Recommend by Kev's who did my drive way.

Window cleaner and newspaper for windshields. The newspaper helps to "polish" the window and prevent streaks. Old detailer trick I learned back in the 80's when I detailed high end cars with a friend. About the only reason I buy the newspapers. Best product for keeping car windows shedding water I have found is Hydroshield by Chemicals guys. Better than the rain stuff by the other windshield rain shed maker.

DON'T use Hydroshield on plexiglass though. The other rain shed company makes cleaner for plexiglass and it works well on the golf car plexiglass to repel rain. So, I will give them kudos for that.

[Bealman]

Some detailers use orbital polishers on windshields. Takes a careful hand and a good product, but can be done. No different than doing polishing on car paint.

My husband’s career was in electroplating chrome. They used Bar Keepers Friend all the time.
Shines and polishes but is non abrasive

Been using Bar Keepers Friend for years, great product.

Sounds like someone found a way to use cheap volcanic stone and package it. "Pumie" that erodes as you scrub, and looks like a pumice stone is more likely than not just a branded pumice stone. Just sayin.

I use it to remove tea stains from my mugs. Also use it on my pans and sink.

Yes! Also copper bottom Revere ware if you have any of that still hanging around. Shines up like a new penny.

Baking soda works really well for tea cups and mugs that have tea stains.

Just put a half tablespoon of baking soda into mug/cup and a tiny bit of water and scrub to get tea stains out of fine china and your favorite tea mug.

Yes, good question.

There is a liquid version of BKF and I'm tempted to use it on my glass stove top.

I use a wet cloth and lay on top of stove top to get everything possible to loosen up. But then there are still those tiny deposits that need to get lifted off the glass. Anyone use BKF or the liquid form for this? I don't want to etch the glass top.

See post #7 No scratching on my stove. But it's the soft cream cleanser.

It works and won’t etch the toilet bowl

I could be wrong, but I think the liquid version is the same as the powder, but they dilute it in water.

I use lime away for removing toilet calcium deposits. Works great.

They make a Bar Keepers' Friend just for glass cooktops. I use it on our Bosch induction - no issues past 6 years and counting.

I've used it to restore some rusted old golf wedges. Cleaned out the grooves on the clubs and shiny now.
