Advantages: Easy to use, effective, good value for money

Disadvantages: None

I have only recently discovered this having seen it in the household cleaning products section in my local Sainsbury's. I paid £1.69 for it about three months ago but it may have gone up since then in these times of rapidly rising prices.

Made by Homecare, it has a picture of a barman on the front which always reminds me of the American sit-com 'Cheers'!

According to the blurb surrounding the picture, Bar Keeper's Friend can be used safely on stainless steel, chinaware, brass, worktops, sinks, chrome and copper, although I haven't tried it on all of those. I know it produces great results on stainless steel, chrome, worktops, sinks and china so I am sure it is equally as effective on all the other things on the list. The blurb also says 'removes tough household stains' and it certainly lives up to that claim.

In powder form, it is easy to use; you just sprinkle some on to a wet cloth, rub gently then rinse off. It's great for removing tea and coffee spills on worktops and is approved for use by Corian. Wedgwood approve it for use on china.

The only things it is not suitable for are mirror-polished stainless steel houseware and cooking utensils, gold and silver, and enamel baths or surfaces.

More information on its uses can be found at www.homecareproducts.co.uk.

Summary: HIghly recommended for use in the kitchen
