As a senior who learned most cooking and housekeeping details the hard way back in the day ( LOL), I still enjoy Rajiv 's instructional videos! Rajiv: Your calm and soothing voice is a welcome change among the chaotic atmosphere in the world today. You are a treasure - thank you!
Will watch anything Rajiv puts out, with great interest. Always open to his teachings. Have to admit I really, really, embraced his Mr. Sassy Pants humor during the box making episode. BOX MAKING…….I flippin’ watched it TWICE, for goodness sake.
It's amazing how many people truly do not know how to clean a sink, any sink. Down the drain, under the rim, around the faucets... it feels so good when it sparkles!
You can coat the interior of the oven with the Bar Keeper's Friend paste (mix the powder with a bit of water and apply it to the metal with gloved hands) and then let it sit for as long as it'll stay wet. It'll help remove the crud, but you'll need to use major elbow grease.
A few years ago I purchased a Dupray Neat steam cleaner (Cost about $150). It's small and compact, but I've used it almost daily ever since. It is super powerful and cleans my oven incredibly well. It blasts off the grime. I don't allow the water to build up and mop it up immediately, but I've never used anything that's better. Then, if there are little pieces of crud, I'll use Barkeeper's Friend to get those off. I highly recommend a steam cleaner for those really tough jobs. (Oh and you can't believe how clean it gets windows...just don't use it in cold weather or it might break the glass.)
Watching his videos makes me feel that is perfectly ok to appreciate the smaller things. To appreciate the time, talent and effort that’s gone into making all the things we grew up using. Not everything has to be disposable or temporary.
Thank you for showing how bar keeper’s friend works. I lived in a semi modern apartment and my bathtub were getting hard to clean with baking soda and soap, etc. One day I gave a shot to those scrubbing bubbles but I hated the smell (got a minor allergic reactions) and it didn’t clean the tub at all. So I got a bottle of barkeeper’s Friend and finally tried first today. My old plastic tub looks so white and sparkly shiny ❤❤❤❤ Truly made my day. Thank you Rajiv🙏🏻
It is not offen that I see a ritual I grew up doing. I was taught to scrub the sink after doing dishes every night with Bar Keepers Friend. Especially stainless steel. It really makes a difference and I too notice when sinks are not polished. thanks for your videos. I love them all!
Rajiv, I always thought I was the only one who cleaned the sink drainer. Being blessed now with a dishwasher, I have two drainers so that I always have one in the sink while the other is in the dishwasher.
A very fitting sponsorship, congrats! I found you through the HGTV videos and love that you started your own channel. Thank you for teaching us, showing the joy in the everyday, and sharing what you love.
Honestly I can clean my whole house with just: Dawn, Bar Keepers, bleach and Mrs Meyers (for aromatherapy). I’ve tried to find alternative to bleach, but haven’t had any luck. Most alternatives don’t get things white enough or damage my clothes.
Rajiv's work has offered me inspiration and perspective over the last several weeks. Thank you for reminding me to not let the haters stop me from doing my thang.
This whole video… *chef’s kiss* I recently redecorated my apartment kitchen, but my dull, stainless steel sink isn’t looking too hot. I was actually staring at it this morning wondering what cleaning product would do a better job than the all-purpose kitchen spray I’d been using. Bam! Your timing is perfect! I just used your link to buy some Barkeeper’s Friend. Thank you for sharing such invaluable information with every upload. Can’t wait for the next video.
I love washing up I also do not have a machine I never thought i would watch a video on cleaning a sink but everything about your aura is so beautiful and I love beautiful things in the home and your advice is precious xx
I can’t even begin to tell you how good for the soul your videos are. Thank you 😊 you inspire me to appreciate small details, to live simply and to respect my space through cleanliness. I love your attention and appreciation for handmade and/or vintage. You are such a gem.
I’m playing your videos on loop while I do Swedish Death Cleaning my entire home. Something about your voice makes me only want to keep the amazing things and give away all the rest. You are inspiring people to have a better, more beautiful life. 💜🌿💐
Hello Ravij, you are missing a massive spot. The basket strainer is also used to unscrew the strainer, see the 2 vertical screw marks? Place the basket strainer to unscrew it, and you'll reach the rubber gaskets and all the horrible sticky stuff. Enjoy. ❤
Love the difference to the basement sink. I noticed there that you did a quick wash and dry of those taps.....but you never washed your sink taps. Taps are high on the list for contamination and transfer of germs.
I don't know if "sexy" is the word , maybe maybe not ...but WOW You have made it a pleasure ...wonder if we get Bar Keepers Friend here in New Zealand ...it is going on the list!! Thanks Rajiv for sharing Your knowledge and humour!
I could say I will never find dish washing by hand an enjoyable thing but I do use Bar Keeper's Friend to shine up my stainless steel. You can freshen and degrease your drain with baking soda and vinegar.
in fact there is a book about being clean and tidy and it's called shine your sink as they say that having a spotless sink create a chain reaction that will roll in all your house ...
I love Bar leepers friend. I have been using it for about thirty years. I clean my sink and my tub with it. It works great on rust stains as well. Thanks for the video.
Love Rajiv and laughing hysterically when he shows up at the end, in his cleaning overalls! 😂🤣😂 Only Rajiv or Martha, but Rajiv is so much better. He makes me want to do whatever he is working on and his voice is so calming. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Keep the videos coming, I love every topic!!!!!!
I wish Barkeeper's Friend was available in Europe. I once brought home a can of it in my luggage when I visited the US. I miss products like Barkeeper's Friend and Fels Naptha bars, which are so great for hand-washing clothes or pre-treating before washing in the machine. And RIT Whitener for when white shirts get dingy. Hmm... maybe I need to see if Amazon sells and ships those things to Europe without having to sell a kidney to afford them.
I have the same copper kettle as you. I'd love to see a video of how you care for it. Thanks for your videos. I give my sink a bit of a clean every time I do dishes, by running the soapy cloth around the sink. I always wipe away all the water spots too.
Excellent process, though I'm surprised there is no use of an antibacterial spray. Bar Keeper's Friend is not antibacterial, so the cleansing process seems only 50% effective without the use of a spray too. Really enjoyed the video though :)
My partner is a professional house cleaner and I'm an extremely particular autistic person, between the two of us we have Opinions regarding cleaning. 😂 I wipe down the sink and dry around the sink, faucet, etc after every dish washing and scrub with Bon Ami regularly. Nothing makes me crazier than watching someone do the dishes and leave behind a dirty, messy sink! And I realize most people don't care - and that's ok too. But if you come over for dinner, don't worry about the dishes. 😉
Rinse well, because the ingredients in BF are toxic. It's easy to remove the gasket from my drain plug, so I do that, too. The space in between is the worst. Slimy! I also do hand laundry in the kitchen sink. The bathroom basins are too small. And here's a tip: you can use a salad spinner for the spin cycle! It makes for quicker air drying. I bet the residents were shocked to see that clean sink. (The owner or manager even more so!) They probably thought it was new. It's not called Barkeeper's Friend for nothing.
I'm not sure...I would email them through their website and ask. I know they have a special stone cleaner and polish, but ask if you can use their powder cleanser on your soapstone sink.
I adore that Rajiv is, not only, reviving the domestic arts, but partnering with sponsoring companies that have 60 year old products no one else on YT would dream of working with. Fabulous! Who thinks of that?
This is a life skill. Like writing in script, balancing your checkbook,(having a checkbook), washing your bedsheets every week, and making sure that your white clothing IS white. Ironing is a BIG one too.
I love ironing and when people find out I "still" iron, they make fun of me. As if! I couldn't care less--I think people that don't iron should be laughed at. They think they're fooling everyone with their "throw it in the dryer for a minute" trick. They look like they slept in their clothes!
It may seem trivial to learn how to clean a sink, but I believe they should put your videos as a long term course in schools(as well as doing the taxes, saving money, investing,...). No one ever taught us to do laundry, wash dishes or everything else, etc. and we often learn them by trial and error and most of us do these chores in a wrong way our whole life.
You have a good point. My mother had all girls and taught us everything she knew. Even our great grandmother and grandmother gave my sisters and I tips on cleaning, cooking and keeping a guest worthy house. My husband and I have one son and we taught him everything like making a bed, cooking, grocery shopping, and the importance of keeping his room and bathroom clutter free and neat. He learned how to do the laundry and even work in the yard and wash a car. On one occasion he went with some friends on vacation and at the end if the stay began cleaning up the rental home. His friends started calling him Martha Stewart after that and still use the moniker Martha now and again as a jibe. His girlfriend tells us that he's the best partner and shares all of the responsibilities of housekeeping, shopping and cooking with her. So at the least he has learned the importance of being a good partner. We also felt it was our responsibility to teach him fiscal responsibilities and brought him to the bank at a very early age to open his first savings/checking account. We taught him how to complete a deposit slip for his tooth fairy and birthday money. Then how to withdraw money and write a check to purchase something he wanted. We later taught him the pros and cons of debit cards. I have forwarded many of Rajiv's videos to our son to let him know how cool it is to be a successful, self-sufficient and creative guy. I hope Rajiv reach is far and wide and keeps expanding because what he is teaching, sharing and saying on his channel will make a difference in the lives of the younger generation. And...old girls like me just love everything about this dude!
I love Rajiv’s tips on housekeeping, even though I grew up being taught these from my mother. But it’s so gratifying to see a young man teaching others to do this. Thank you, Rajiv.
This guy deserves his own show, line, everything. HE IS THE BEST. Wise beyond his years, and great to just listen to. Makes you feel inspired to even clean the sink!
This is perfect timing as I move into my brand new home in a week or so and want to make sure the sink stays pristine. My ex, who is a chef, got me onto bar keepers friend to keep the saucepans pristine so I even have some on hand ready to go. Love the housekeeping videos so much, keep them coming!
Thank you! I also discovered Bar Keeper's Friend when I had a cookware mishap and the company's customer service rep told me it was the only stuff that would remove the marks safely.
Rajiv it finally hit me today while watching this video with a sense of calm coming over me - and I mean this in the most complimentary way - you are the Mr. Rogers for adults! Can’t wait for the next lesson…
I was taught housekeeping chores as a punishment and a degradating job, so I never really enjoyed them, and as a result I was either miserable in a dirty house, or miserable in a clean house due to feeling I had done something wrong. Content creators like Rajiv or Auri Katarina have rewired my brain into finding them joyful and peaceful, so now my house can be clean without me feeling miserable about it, and actually enjoy the process and the results. I'm glad I found them, because my life is a bit brighter.
This video is one of the most genuine sponsorships I've seen on TH-cam. It's clear that you actually like BKF, and you're providing relevant, valuable information as well. Thank you, Rajiv!
I, also, have used Bar Keepers Friend for many years, and love it. This video is a perfect demonstration of keeping a sink pristine! As always, thank you, Rajiv! (PS: Your channel should be required learning for teens and young people, before going out on their own in life! You teach in such a clear and positive way, and bring real value to caring for a home to make it a haven, not a flop house!)
I was thinking the same thing. I'm adding these videos to a playlist for my baby sons when they reach that age called "Man Training." These domestic skills are needed for all youth.
I have had a playlist for my son for these skills. We watch a "life video" every night and reference our skills that we have learned. ❤ This is going on the list for sure. A task elevated with a kind, calm, male influence. Fantastic.
I love your videos so much. I was excited to see Barkeepers Friend being in the spotlight. We used it for everything in the restaurant years ago, and I started using it at home, as well. It is fantastic for cleaning the copper on the bottoms of my pots and pans, too. They look like new with very minimal effort. The cookware was a wedding present I’ve had for 35 years, and they look like new.
It truly is the best for cleaning the sink, and their liquid version is amazing for removing soap scum in the bathroom. Thank you for sharing how you lovingly care for your home.
Greetings from Australia! You’ve inspired me to go clean my sink. I never heard of this brand, but Google tells me it’s at my local supermarket!!, ps..I’m glad you pronounced Herbs with an ‘h’, instead of Erbs, proper English!
It is great stuff. Aussies see if they have something like it there. This is about as cheap as comet and last forever. There is something like "Pink Stuff", not popular or maybe not available here, un US. This is for mostly for cleaning copper, brass, any metal, but great for anything, and doesn't scratch. Search of equivalent. Should be less than 1 USAD or there about.
Loved this video! I sometimes struggle with keeping a clean house as someone with depression, and it's so helpful to see ways to reframe household cleaning tasks as meditative, enjoyable self care. Seeing the way Rajiv cleans the sink and the pride and happiness that comes from having a sink ready to go for whatever the next day brings helps me to think about cleaning the sink at the end of the night as something more than an unpleasant chore to be avoided. Time to go buy some barkeepers friend 😊
I hear You , and reminds me of a book Simple Abundance where the author changed House work into HOUSE CARE ...such a powerful shift for me and will put on my fave music, turn on light, maybe even light some incense ...and do as much as I can while the cd plays ...feels so good afterwards x
I think people don't know why it's so special. It's not the same thing as Ajax or Comet. It's not a bleach-based cleaner. It has oxalic acid in it. I use it to clean my enameled dutch oven when it gets stained. You can use it to clean your oven racks and even the inside of the oven door if you don't scrub too hard, just make a thinnish solution of it and spread it over the door and let the oxalic acid do its thing. Amazing stuff.
Cleaning a sink? Why are we watching? Its because we love Rajiv! ❤
Ain't THAT the truth 😂❤
And then I actually got giddy when you found a basement sink to clean!!
Love for Rajiv notwithstanding, I want to know how to clean my sink better!!! And I like cleaning videos they are calming.
Oh my! I’ve also always used Barkeepers friend for many many years and swear by it. It’s the best-love it and so glad to see you do too 😊❤
Yes, I already know how to clean a sink and already use barkeeper’s friend (on the bathtub too) but watched the whole video anyway just for Rajiv 🤗
As a senior who learned most cooking and housekeeping details the hard way back in the day ( LOL), I still enjoy Rajiv 's instructional videos! Rajiv: Your calm and soothing voice is a welcome change among the chaotic atmosphere in the world today. You are a treasure - thank you!
These videos are not only enjoyable to watch, they provide an important service for young people who don't get Home Ec courses anymore.
Rajiv always comes in like a gangster - even with the most simplest of things. just perfect.
Mr. Rajiv, can you do more videos about how to display items beautifully or dare I saw ‘decorate’?
Rajiv matching his shirt and kitchen gloves! ❤
Chicken juice lol. You’re welcome to come clean my stainless steel sink, anytime ☺️ Bar keepers friend is my friend, too…love that stuff!
Will watch anything Rajiv puts out, with great interest. Always open to his teachings. Have to admit I really, really, embraced his Mr. Sassy Pants humor during the box making episode. BOX MAKING…….I flippin’ watched it TWICE, for goodness sake.

I love how you are passionate about the mundane tasks of life.. I love a sparkling sink.
This is great! Could you do a video about cleaning an oven? I recently moved into a new place and it's become my new personal nightmare.
You can coat the interior of the oven with the Bar Keeper's Friend paste (mix the powder with a bit of water and apply it to the metal with gloved hands) and then let it sit for as long as it'll stay wet. It'll help remove the crud, but you'll need to use major elbow grease.

Hah! I can't believe I actually enjoyed watching a video on sink cleaning. Thanks Rajiv. I'm gonna go clean my sink now.
EXCELLENT video! You are great inspiration, Rajiv, THE BEST!
Thanks, Yanni!
Watching Rajiv is like my quiet happy place these days. i am not sure why but it is.
I too need to do exactly this, minimum once a week. I knew i wasnt crazy! Thank you for spreading the sparkly sink gospel!
I love how formative your time at Black Creek was, Rajiv! I wonder if they would allow you to do a video there?
I can't believe I just watched a cleaning sink video. Rajiv you make the mundane mesmerizing.
A very fitting sponsorship, congrats!
I found you through the HGTV videos and love that you started your own channel. Thank you for teaching us, showing the joy in the everyday, and sharing what you love.
1:05 love getting to see your calligraphy!!! Love you Rajiv!!!
Honestly I can clean my whole house with just: Dawn, Bar Keepers, bleach and Mrs Meyers (for aromatherapy). I’ve tried to find alternative to bleach, but haven’t had any luck. Most alternatives don’t get things white enough or damage my clothes.
Rajiv's work has offered me inspiration and perspective over the last several weeks.
Thank you for reminding me to not let the haters stop me from doing my thang.
I have used Bar Keeper's Friend for many years too! It is a family cleaning staple.
I love Bar Keepers friend! It's a classic for a reason. My sink gets marks from pans so easily and I haven't found anything that has worked as well.
This whole video… *chef’s kiss*

Another great video.
I’ve even used Barkeeper’s Friend on a cement porch that had stains from a flower pot. It’s amazing what it will clean.
Congratulations on finding a sponsor
Hello Ravij, you are missing a massive spot. The basket strainer is also used to unscrew the strainer, see the 2 vertical screw marks? Place the basket strainer to unscrew it, and you'll reach the rubber gaskets and all the horrible sticky stuff. Enjoy. ❤

The content is great in your video, keep it up , and it seems to me you are blessed with Curiosity . Have a peaceful day
That sink at the end!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Loved this video! I wash my sink every night and just shined mine with BKF today!
I could say I will never find dish washing by hand an enjoyable thing but I do use Bar Keeper's Friend to shine up my stainless steel. You can freshen and degrease your drain with baking soda and vinegar.
This was so satisfying to watch!
Thank you for sharing. By the way, and I mean this as a compliment, you resonate as a Mr. Roger's, just an idea.

Do you use the same sponge for dishes and cleaning the sink?
Yes! Powder and liquid ❤thank you for bringing it up as an excellent cleanser.

Well done ! As usual .

Copper Polish. I wouldn't use BKF on antiques.

Hi Rajiv. I love your videos and your brazeletes.
Rajiv, where do you get BKF? Never saw it in the stores but perhaps I've not looked carefully.
It's usually in the same section as cleansers (like Comet).
Rinse well, because the ingredients in BF are toxic. It's easy to remove the gasket from my drain plug, so I do that, too. The space in between is the worst. Slimy!
I also do hand laundry in the kitchen sink. The bathroom basins are too small. And here's a tip: you can use a salad spinner for the spin cycle! It makes for quicker air drying.
I bet the residents were shocked to see that clean sink. (The owner or manager even more so!) They probably thought it was new. It's not called Barkeeper's Friend for nothing.
I have a soapstone set sink in my basement. Would the Barkeeper’s Friend be safe on soapstone? ❤
I'm not sure...I would email them through their website and ask. I know they have a special stone cleaner and polish, but ask if you can use their powder cleanser on your soapstone sink.
@@rajivsurendra Thank you so much! ❤️
I think we use to call them butler sinks in the U.K.
Yay!! Congrats on the sponsorship! 🤍

I adore that Rajiv is, not only, reviving the domestic arts, but partnering with sponsoring companies that have 60 year old products no one else on YT would dream of working with. Fabulous! Who thinks of that?

Barkeepers friend is my number one cleaning supply. We always use it in out bathrooms as well - works like a charm.
Same.
So what's the difference with good old Ajax powder? 🙂
@@MataH1 bkf doesn't use bleach! for those sensitive to bleach, it is a good alternative
@@hellogoodbritt ah thanks, I didn't know there is bleach in Ajax.
@@MataH1it removes better mineral deposits.
You make the everyday routines seem special and something I want to do!❤
This video is one of the most genuine sponsorships I've seen on TH-cam. It's clear that you actually like BKF, and you're providing relevant, valuable information as well. Thank you, Rajiv!
I, also, have used Bar Keepers Friend for many years, and love it. This video is a perfect demonstration of keeping a sink pristine! As always, thank you, Rajiv! (PS: Your channel should be required learning for teens and young people, before going out on their own in life! You teach in such a clear and positive way, and bring real value to caring for a home to make it a haven, not a flop house!)
Thanks, Jeanne!
I was thinking the same thing. I'm adding these videos to a playlist for my baby sons when they reach that age called "Man Training." These domestic skills are needed for all youth.
I have had a playlist for my son for these skills. We watch a "life video" every night and reference our skills that we have learned. ❤ This is going on the list for sure. A task elevated with a kind, calm, male influence. Fantastic.
I love your videos so much. I was excited to see Barkeepers Friend being in the spotlight. We used it for everything in the restaurant years ago, and I started using it at home, as well. It is fantastic for cleaning the copper on the bottoms of my pots and pans, too. They
look like new with very minimal effort. The cookware was a wedding present I’ve had for 35 years, and they look like new.
It truly is the best for cleaning the sink, and their liquid version is amazing for removing soap scum in the bathroom. Thank you for sharing how you lovingly care for your home.
When you’re as chill and laid back as Rajiv WHAT ISN’T meditative ☺️💕
Nicely said, brilliant 🙂
Rajiv, now when i do household chores i always think of you and the calm, purposeful way you do things. Makes things so much more pleasant 💖
It’s true..❤🤗
Greetings from Australia! You’ve inspired me to go clean my sink. I never heard of this brand, but Google tells me it’s at my local supermarket!!, ps..I’m glad you pronounced Herbs with an ‘h’, instead of Erbs, proper English!
PS Bunnings had never heard of it!
It is great stuff. Aussies see if they have something like it there. This is about as cheap as comet and last forever. There is something like "Pink Stuff", not popular or maybe not available here, un US. This is for mostly for cleaning copper, brass, any metal, but great for anything, and doesn't scratch. Search of equivalent. Should be less than 1 USAD or there about.
Thanks, Rajiv, and much love all the way from 🇵🇭! Your videos are going to help me so much as I am starting my kids with more household chores 😊
Loved this video! I sometimes struggle with keeping a clean house as someone with depression, and it's so helpful to see ways to reframe household cleaning tasks as meditative, enjoyable self care. Seeing the way Rajiv cleans the sink and the pride and happiness that comes from having a sink ready to go for whatever the next day brings helps me to think about cleaning the sink at the end of the night as something more than an unpleasant chore to be avoided. Time to go buy some barkeepers friend 😊
I hear You , and reminds me of a book Simple Abundance where the author changed House work into HOUSE CARE ...such a powerful shift for me and will put on my fave music, turn on light, maybe even light some incense ...and do as much as I can while the cd plays ...feels so good afterwards x

My favorite part was the BONUS sink in the creepy basement at the end of the video. Wow! What a difference the Barkeeper's Friend made!😮
Bar Keepers Friend is also great for cleaning the Instant Pot insert and the white enamel inside of enamel coated cast iron cookware.
Bar Keepers Friend is amazing and it's wonderful to wake up to a clean sink in the morning.
I think people don't know why it's so special. It's not the same thing as Ajax or Comet. It's not a bleach-based cleaner. It has oxalic acid in it. I use it to clean my enameled dutch oven when it gets stained. You can use it to clean your oven racks and even the inside of the oven door if you don't scrub too hard, just make a thinnish solution of it and spread it over the door and let the oxalic acid do its thing. Amazing stuff.
