    I love barkeeper's friend. Been using it for decades. I bought a large container with a snap cap at a restaurant supply store, which is used for storing spices. I dump my BK container in that and ditch the can.

    I love Bar Keeper's Friend cleaner. I use both the powder and the cook top cleaner and the results are outstanding. I also use the liquid cook top cleaner on my kitchen stainless steel sink. When I bought this home, the kitchen sink had that nasty hard water marks inside each basin. Ugh. I used the liquid cleaner on it and wow! It removed all the hard water crustiness and left the sink looking like new. I use it on the shower doors and around the bathroom faucet and sink to remove hard water spots. The stuff is fantastic. Anyone who hasn't tried Bar Keepers Friend needs to do it. And don't be afraid to use it on glass or ceramic basins. Just use the liquid style (not the powder). No scratches at all, just shine. I swear. Thanks for doing this review of the cleaners. I'm sticking with BKF 👍

    I'm an addict, I use BKF for almost everything. Does a great job on the toliet rust build up. I used it to strip the rust off my metal kitchen cabinets with steel wool instead of a sanding disk drill, it did a great job and instead of polyeuthane, I used Zep metal cleaner/polish, which gives it a bit of waterproof and incredible shine.

I have never noticed an odor with Bar Keepers Friend and I think I'll just stick with it for all my tough cleaning. Thanks for your time commitment to help us all.

    Bkf also works great on my tools in the garage. I had some spanners that I needed to save. They came up like new. Wasn’t a hard chore at all. Like both the liquid and the powder. If I need a paste, juste add a little water to the powder. Lovely stuff and versatile.

    I use Barkeepers Friend most of the time on my All Clad Stainless Steel. I prefer Bon Ami which was originally recommended by All-Clad. Some time ago, Bon Ami became difficult to find in stores. Once in a while it pops up. It just seems to make a better paste and seems to clean better. Could be all wet on that though.

Some websites say the new product, BKF Cookware Cleanser & Polish , silver can, has more detergents and grease emulsifiers. Which to love??? 💛🩶🧽✅🧽✅🧽 🩶💛 Thanks for you upload.

    Good question. According to the Bar Keepers Friend website, “Bar Keepers Friend Cookware Cleanser contains extra active ingredients for cutting through grease.” I’ve used both and haven’t noticed a difference. barkeepersfriend.com/faq-bar-keepers-friend/
