Works for Me Wednesday - Bar Keepers Friend


Have you ever heard of Bar Keeper's Friend?
It's a non-chlorine bleach household cleaner, whose motto I heartily endorse: Once Tried, Always Used! This stuff is powerful when it comes to attacking dirt and grime. Want proof?


This is one of the tubs in my home. It's nasty. It came this way - I've just been putting off doing anything about it until recently. Honestly, I wasn't sure the tub even could be cleaned.

I tried Comet. It barely touched the grime and that was after major scrubbing. Then I pulled out Bar Keeper's Friend. Still took some scrubbing, but this stuff really got to the bottom of the caked-on nastiness. In the picture, the white spots are the areas I've done so far. I'm amazed and have a renewed hope that the tub just might be able to be white again!

Give Bar Keeper's Friend a try.
Here is a list of household uses.

It can be found at any grocery store, in the cleaning aisle.
Works for me!

  6. We live in a rental home, and I've pretty much gotten used to our stained tub after scrubbing and scrubbing it on multiple occasions with no luck. I'll be picking up a can of this on my next shopping trip before I completely give up. Thanks for the tip!

  7. I love bar keepers friend! although I haven't bought it in years. I was given a set of copper bottom stainless steel pans and the copper bottom needs cleaned bad. I rememeberd how well bar keepers friend used to clean mine many moons ago. I could really use some of that bar keepers friend right about now and cannot seem to find it at the store. What store do you find it at? I live in northern Indiana also.
