Bar Keepers FriendOriginal Stain Remover Powder 250g - Cleans, restores and polishes - Shifts limescale and soap scum - Suitable for a wide range of surfaces

I don’t usually write reviews but I felt strongly that this product deserves one. I bought the powder version primarily for rust stains on our white quartz worktops. I have previously used every product I could think of at home, nothing worked (cif, mr muscle, dettol cleaners, scourers, fairy, bleach products, I know I shouldn’t use these but I was desperate). The rust stains prevailed. Then while I was searching for how to hide stains on quartz worktops, I came across this product and thought let’s try this out as well. It was like magic. I put the powder on top, gently rubbed it with a wet sponge and saw the stain slowly disappearing. One reapplication and the stain was completely gone. I had a massive smile on my face.I then applied this to a horrible lime scale deposit on the edges of one of my taps. It was absolutely solid. It took a few applications, around four, and a good rubbing with a sponge, but the tap looks almost new now. Really amazing stuff.It didn’t work as well on fat deposits on an induction hob, around the same as anything else we have used such as fairy liquid or a specialised induction hob cleaner.The smell is not as horrible as some other reviews mention. It is strong in the moment but doesn’t last. I can highly recommend this. Not just a bar keepers friend but any family’s friend at home.

I had etched in stains from builders on grainy large tiles. Tried all traditional sprays, white spirit etc did nothing. Wasn't expecting this stain remover to work so was sceptical. It worked so well and easy to use. Makes stains light work! Recommended

This product is very similar to the old style scouring powders like Vim and Ajax. The only difference that I could find, was this powder was less granular but seemed to tackle stains no better or worse. However, because the powder is less coarse, it didn't leave the same residue - which meant less time spent wiping it away. The cleaning results are particularly good on stainless steel sinks and baths, but I was disappointed that it barely dented hard water stains on tiles in the shower.This is my second order. I like the convenience of the smaller plastic pack - it doesn't look unsightly left in a bathroom. The only other criticism I have, is that the top is rather hard to flip open - I actually snapped the first one off.On balance, this is a good product but not the miracle cleaning agent that some reviewers claim.

It works brilliantly

I’ve recently had a new kitchen with a lovely white sink fitted however I’ve been most surprised and disappointed at how quickly the sink was staining! I saw this product and it has solved a problem that other things I’ve tried didn’t and I’m delighted. My sink is now whiter than white and I highly recommend it.
