Product Information

If you live in a hard water area, you’ll probably find you get a build-up of limescale around the element of your kettle.

We have several descaler products for reducing and dissolving limescale, helping you to get boiling efficiently again.

BKF powder has just the right blend of powdered oxalic acid and micro-abrasives to safely scour off even long-term mineral build-up without damaging fiberglass, chrome or stainless steel,” says Melissa Homer, chief cleaning officer with MaidPro. Pro Tip : If you’ve recently cleaned an area or item with another cleaner, rinse it off before applying BKF. 3. Don’t Go Bare HandedBar Keepers Friend is safe to use on most alloys: brass, aluminum, copper, bronze (except oil-rubbed bronze), and stainless steel (but not stainless steel appliances, because they have a protective coating). Clean any hinges, handles, or towel bars on your shower door to inhibit rust growth, and rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning. See BKF In Action: How to Clean Glass Shower Doors Did you know that, unlike BKF, many of the best-selling powdered cleaners contain bleach? Yes, they do.

Bar Keepers Friend was never designed to be used dry. The original powder should always be mixed with water by either adding water to the powder and mixing it in or wetting the surface to clean and then sprinkling it with BKF. BKF, like any powder, can be blown into the air and should never be inhaled. Stop, Drop, and Roll
