Barkeepers Friend Barkeepers Friend Review

I came across this by chance in the dollar-store section of one of my favorite grocery stores. I figured, heck, for a dollar what can I lose? I needed some more scouring powder. Well, I was astonished to find that it zoomed right through the messy grill I tried it on first. If you ever scrub a grill with baked on grease and sauce, you know what I was prepared for. I started by wetting it. I usually soak it for a few minutes before I try to scrub. I ran the scrubby sponge over the grill to loosen anything that might want to come off without too much work. I the put the grill down on the counter (with newspaper under it to protect the counter) and sprinkled on the Barkeepers Friend. I went to scrub, and the stuff just started coming off so easy! I tried it on pans that had stuff burned on the bottom ( my husband trys his hand at cooking and doesn't always look to see if things are burning in the pan) and it worked great here, too. I use it in an old toilet bowl that just stains for no reason other than it can. Whisks away the old stains like they never existed.

I recently had a contractor out to estimate a job to redo our bathroom, and he saw the Barkeepers Friend in the cabinet. He was amazed, as he said he had never seen anyone but a professional use it. I told him how I found it and he agreed that it is the best stuff around. There you go, professional approval!

The only problem I have is that it is hard on your hands. Be sure to wear your rubber gloves when using it. I have forgotten, and my hands suffer. It's not deadly, but it roughens the hands.

I strongly recommend it to anyone. I find it in most grocery stores right along with the other scouring powders. I must not be the only one who uses it.They keep stocking it.
