Works for Me Wednesday: Bar Keeper’s Friend
* This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. *
It’s rare that I find a product that I love well enough to blog about…especially a cleaning product, but this is one of them: Bar Keeper’s Friend.
A few years ago, someone recommended it for cleaning my tub. It seemed that, no matter what product I used or how hard I scrubbed, nothing would get my tub really clean. Bar Keeper’s Friend worked wonders! I still hate cleaning the tub, but if I’m going to have to do it, I would at least like it to look like I put all the effort into it that I did. With this product, it does.
Then, someone in my homeschool group mentioned using it for glass-top stoves. I was a little skeptical, at first, since everything in the care kit talks about being so careful with the stove top. Again, Bar Keeper’s Friend works wonders — and it’s much cheaper than that cream cleaner they sell for the stove tops. I simply use one of those “scratch-free” scrubbing sponges, wet it and put a little of the cleaner on it. It’s great for getting off stubborn cooking spills.
Bar Keeper’s Friend definitely works for me (and, no, this is not a paid advertisement…I really love the product). Visit Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer for more Works for Me Wednesday tips.
And where do you buy this??? ;o)
I’ve not heard of this before. Is it similar to comet? I’ll have to see if I can find it locally. Thanks for telling us about it.
I have seen that on a couple of blogs lately. i might have to give it a try.
This is the product that was recommended by my kitchen counter installers – but now I think I’m going to try the sample they gave me on my nasty, uncleanable tub!
I’ve never heard of this – but, anything that will clean my grimy tub AND my glass top stove, it’s definitely worth looking for!
Thanks for the tip.
I just buy it where I buy everything else, it seems…Walmart! I had never heard of it either, but I’ve never had any trouble finding it there.
And, yes, it is like Comet.
I love that stuff!! It really is awesome. We used to live in a super old house and the kitchen sink looked awful. Bar Keepers Friend really did make it look clean again!!
Oh, I love this stuff too! My mom always used Bon Ami.. which is very similiar… but I we can’t seem to find it anymore and Bar Keeper’s Friend works just as well.
I like this too. It’s my second favorite, just after Zud, which can be impossible to find at times. It’s like BKF…only better 🙂 lol
I too love this product. I heard about it on Flylady.net and thought I would give it a try. It’s the only thing that got rust stains out of the potty. I found it at my grocery store next to the Comet.
I love this for my stainless steel sinks, but I never thought about using it for my tub. I’ll give it a try.
My WFMW is up. Please stop by.
I’ll have to try it because I can use all the help I can get!
Thanks for sharing!
Is your tub fiberglass?
Julie,
Yes, our tub is fiberglass. I was worried, at first, about BKF scratching it, but it hasn’t.
HTH!

My Grandmother introduced me to this produt years ago. It works wonder on hard water stains.
I have seen it in Family Dollar and Dollar General.
