Though my house is not, by any means, immaculate, I do spend more time than I would like doing what I like to term as "drudgery" in a bid to keep things at the very least habitable. Anything that makes this task easier is a real boon, case in point this product which is the best thing I have found for cleaning stainless steel and stubborn stains off a surprising amount of surfaces. Barkeepers Friend is, for a quite unassuming little bottle (the most recent packaging is a little blue and white bottle), a really effective product. It normally costs around the £2 mark and you will find it at John Lewis, hardware stores and at some supermarkets. The ...  Read the complete review

I first came across this product more than 10 years ago, in the days when I was a sensible married female! I moved in to a newly built house which had a white kitchen sink and drainer (so glad, I've moved and got a stainless steel one now) but this used to stain terribly and I tried all sorts of products. I happened upon the Bar Keeper's Friend while flicking through one of those home product catalogues that are put through your letter box, it's so many moons ago that I can't remember whether it was Kleeneze or Bettaware or some such other. Anyway, I digress..................if you haven't used this then you really must try it out, it is brilliant ...  Read the complete review

After reading some excellent reviews of Bar Keepers Friend I decided to pick myself a tub up. According to customer reviews, this was the cleaning miracle I had been waiting for "Fantastic product wouldn't be without it" "Can't get better multi purpose cleaner for the money" and "Tried Bar Keepers Friend and the stains vanished" to quote but a few. (Source www.lakeland.co.uk/AllProductreviews.action?productId=8868) So when I saw a tub in my local discount shop for £1.59 I jumped on it and rushed to the till, feeling I had made a great saving as it usually retails around the £3.00 mark. Once home I admired my ...  Read the complete review

I recently read a review on this site praising the virtues of a cleaning product I had never heard of. I have a white porcelain kitchen sink with some rather bad stains that even bleach have failed to fully remove and the product was,appartantly,excellent and dealing with such problems. Reading that this magic stain remover was available in Waitrose I decided to buy a bottle and try it for myself. Bar keepers friend was originally created in the USA over 100 years ago. It comes in a rather uninspiring cylindrical plastic bottle with a blue label. The packaging gives the product an old fashioned look. If I hadn't read the review I would never have given this ...  Read the complete review

I was thinking about what I could review next, I started to think about the things I really use a lot and things that make my life easier. Bar keepers friend popped into my head and I couldn't believe I hadn't shared my experiences of this incredible product yet so here it is......, I first discovered Bar keepers friend when I was looking for something to clean my worktop, which seems to attract and love stains like tea and blackcurrant, normal cleaning products struggled to work and the only thing that did was bleach. I didn't want to keep using bleach as not only was it harsh and a bit dangerous where food is concerned, but my clumsy nature meant that I was ...  Read the complete review
