Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser & Polish

Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish is the original powdered cleaner trusted for tackling rust stains, tarnish, mineral deposits, soap scum, grease and stubborn marks on many hard, non-porous surfaces.

It has become especially popular in New Zealand for restoring shower glass, stainless steel sinks, cookware, taps, tiles and other hard surfaces that need more than an everyday spray cleaner.

Unlike chlorine bleach-based cleaners, BKF uses oxalic acid, mineral abrasive and surfactant to help break down rust, lime, tarnish and built-up grime. It is bleach-free, but still powerful, so always use it as directed and test first on delicate or unknown surfaces.

Why people love BKF

• Helps remove rust stains, mineral deposits, tarnish, soap scum and hard-water marks
• Great for stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, tile, grout, copper, brass, aluminium, glass and more
• Powder format lets you adjust the cleaning strength with water
• Useful across the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, garage and outdoor areas
• Bleach-free and safe for septic systems when used as directed

Customisable cleaning power

Because BKF is a powder, you can control the strength of the clean. Use a thicker paste for tougher stains, rust marks, mineral build-up and shower glass spots. Use a lighter slurry for everyday cleaning, stainless steel sinks, cookware and more delicate jobs.

For best results, keep the surface wet, rub gently with a damp cloth, sponge or suitable non-scratch pad, then rinse thoroughly within one minute of application. Do not let the product sit longer or scrub harder than necessary.
