Review: Addictive, Cleans whatever you Throw at it (so far) - I bought this as a recommendation from a set a stainless steel cookware I just bought; it was on the manufacturer’s suggestions for cleaning them. Call me an ignorant but I never heard of this marvel before. The name sounded funny but I came to desertcart anyway and saw all the outrageous reviews and gave it a try. U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E ¡!! All the time I have been using metal polishers and cleaning paste to clean stainless steel, with good results but sometime with a lot of work to remove some of the most stubborn burnt-outs. With Bar Keepers is not only a breeze but the results are way better. I cleaned all the 8 pieces set in about 15 minutes, and then I cleaned the sink and I swear it looked like the day we installed it 6 years ago, it was so shiny that you had to wear sunglasses to look at it. Given the magnificent success I decided to try it on a few other cleaning projects: To clean the Outside of Anodized Aluminum cookware. Finally I was able to easily remove those oil spills that stick to the outside of the cookware with a few dashes of this product. I’ve used all sorts of techniques, hot water, liquid soap, powder soap even putting them on the dishwasher and the spills remained, once there and burned in they become almost permanent. But not for Bar Keepers! To clean the burn out stains on the steel burners of a gas stove. If you are cooking on a modern gas stove and oil goes into the silver rims surrounding the burners, it will immediately burn and create a brown stain very hard to remove, the sudden chemical reaction on the very hot surface creates an almost enamel oily cover on the steel surface. Before, I had to use glass cook top cleaner, a soft abrasive pad and plenty of elbow grease to remove them, a real hassle. For Bar Keepers, a small amount of powder and water enough to create a paste, some rubbing with a cloth and done, like brand new. It is also great to clean the black iron grates and pieces on the kitchen To remove soap scum from a natural stone shower floor. No deep scrubbing necessary, just enough powder and some water and it will remove most of it with light pressure. I had to use some extra pressure on some of the scum on the grout, but nothing extraordinary In conclusion, an amazing product, probably the best all out cleaner available, countless uses, very easy to apply, no residue and very low price. And just strong enough to clean, soft enough to do not damage most surfaces
Review: Works great on tubs and dishwashers! - This stuff is AMAZING! Seriously... INSANE! I was going crazy over my bathtub floor looking disgustingly dirty. The flooring has a non slip texture on it that holds so much dirt. I moved into a house (it’s a rental!) and the tub floor has been driving me nuts for the last month- so dirty. Hard to imagine taking a peaceful bath while sitting on ground-in dirt! I tried scrubbing it with cleaner and my boyfriend tried bleaching it. I heard of the Bar Keepers Friend from my mom and I thought I’d give it a try. My boyfriend said he didn’t think it would work. I’m pleasantly awaiting for him to walk in and see the shocking results. The tub now looks brand new! Spotless! Super white and no more black dirt in the no-slip-coating crevices! I used the powder cleanser & polish and used a generous amount since I knew this was a tough job. I put it on the damp floor, then let it sit about a minute. Got the floor a little more wet and let it sit a little longer before scrubbing the heck out of it! I used a firm scrub brush. I could see it was working but wanted to be sure when I rinsed it was going to be mostly gone. Oh man... it was! I’m 23 years old and have never been excited about a clean bathtub before. I am seriously so pleased with myself and this product that I had to write a review :) Bar Keepers Friend is amazing. Oh yeah, so amazing that I tried it on my pesky dishwasher when I read it could do stainless steal. I thought the bathtub was great until I did the dishwasher. Since then I’ve been giggling every time I walk in and see it shining! I took a tiny container (a plastic sauce container) and stirred some of the powder with water (with a match) - had to get creative here. Then I dabbed a paper towel in the mixture since it was kind of watery and rubbed it on the dishwasher. Soft circles at first to apply it and then I went in the direction of the grain. I went with the grain again to wipe off the solution and to dry it. Seriously it looks like a BRAND NEW dishwasher. It looked horrible before with streaks everywhere and discoloring and splotches. I tried using a stainless steal spray as well as a grease remover before and neither did a thing. This worked instantly. I can’t believe how quickly and successfully one product solved these ridiculous household issues. It’s awesome! I would 100% recommend this product to anyone. If you’re looking to cut through 80 year old rust or something, I haven’t tested that, but for the stainless steel and bathtub floor, this is the product you need!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Worth It
*by R***R on February 2, 2026*

Just shined up some 30yr old Revere Ware copper bottom pots and it's amazing. 30 years worth of oxidation and burnt who-knows-what has been cleaned up in less than 10 minutes. Had to do 2 rounds of light coating of this BKF for 95% of the gunk to be gone and decided it wasn't worth going for the 5% leftover. By my estimate, I think I used about 20-30g of material per pot, so you really don't need that much. It immediately starts working within 10 seconds and the least damaged areas of the pots shined up orangey copper while the edges require scrubbing. Instruction says to rinse after 1min, but instead I scrubbed for about 3 minutes instead. I believe it's because the instructions say that it will etch materials so if there is any protective layer, it will likely be destroyed. It is mentioned that there are micro-abrasives within the powder mix, so you can essentially treat it like liquid sandpaper and this WILL scratch surfaces. Because of this, you can probably restore some copper wire and pipes to a certain extent with this stuff, so it's not just limited to in-home but also slightly degraded construction materials. However, you will need to protect these materials almost immediately after cleaning to prevent re-oxidation. Do note that BKF contains oxalic acid which is not as strong as HCl (muriatic acid) but will still destroy your hands if you attempt to clean anything with this barehanded. Work slowly so you don't splash it everywhere because YOU REALLY DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. And absolutely do not breathe any of this powder in. Be VERY careful with it. 3x12oz cans for $8.97 is a huge bargain. Probably won't last a lifetime but it's really handy to have some extras on hand, which is why I will have 6x cans of these.
