    Unbelievable. I have a a new stainless steel stove that I never cleaned :( I thought it was beyond cleaning. I used this stuff and the stove now looks brand new again. I was so scared it was not going to get off the grease or was going to scratch the surface. I am so glad I found this stuff. I won't let it get that way again.

    Bar Keepers Friend is different from Comet, Ajax, Bon Ami because it is the only powdered cleanser that has acid in it. Oxalic acid. Other cleaners don't. So BKF is the best option for removing hard water stains (shower door, faucets etc). As any acid it can and will damage some surfaces. Do not leave it overnight. Do not use on brushed brass faucets, natural stone etc. I am a professional housecleaner, in my opinion, best way to clean greasy stove top is to mix Bon Ami and dish soap. Use Razor (paint section HomeDepot $5), sos pads for the bad cases. Microfiber cloth for wiping.

    Bar Keepers works great however it’s very toxic. This is not like bleach powder. You definitely need gloves and should wear a mask if you are using the powder form. I prefer the liquid for small jobs. I like that you mixed the powder with water that would reduce the risk of inhaling when spreading it on surfaces. Thanks for the video!

  • @jennifersmithson3557
    @jennifersmithson3557 3 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    Couple things...obviously you used way way too much on both sides, but especially the liquid. And the other thing is you shouldn't cover the whole thing. Work in smaller sections, you are not supposed to let it sit on the surface. They recommend removing within one minute of application. It is awesome stuff, I use both. The liquid is better for some situations when the powder would be too messy to apply

      It didn't. You have to worry more about the sponge. That said there are so many types of stainless steel and some are more delicate than others. I would remove a knob and test a small area that it will cover to test. This stove was already scratched and older. So is my stove. It's tough not to scratch if you have those grates, just by taking them off or putting them on. 😢

    How do you get the residue off easily? I used the liquid on my stainless steel sink and glass stove top and I really did not feel it cleaned that well. On top of that, I had such a hard time rinsing all the residue off which took me more time to do then the cleaning part(It was not left on for more then a couple of minutes while I was cleaning).

    • @CleanFreakGermaphobe

      There are all kinds of surfaces but it works really well on some. Also, for really cooked in messes it might need to soak. You have to find the product that works best on yours. We have another video with ammonia and plastic wrap to keep the fumes in. It worked amazing.

    Bar Keepers Friend has recently updated the label of the liquid to say that they've improved the consistency. It is much easier to use.
    If you have a bottle of the older formula: It is easier to re-mix if you store the bottle lying on its side. (Put a tray or plate under it.) The solids will still sink, but it takes less shaking to re-mix it.

      Similiar. Bar Keepers Friend is acid-based, while Comet is bleach-based. The main ingredient in Bar Keepers Friend is Oxalic acid. Comet’s main ingredient is trichloroisocyanuric acid (a bleaching agent). And Comet is slightly less toxic. Need to kill germs and destroy mold? Comet. Want to remove hard water stains or polish metals? BKF.
