Bar Keepers Friend.
 
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 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

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.
