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.

Where to use BKF Cleanser & Polish

BKF Cleanser & Polish can be used on many hard, non-porous surfaces, including:

Surfaces to avoid

Do not use BKF Cleanser & Polish on:

  • Marble, granite or other polished stone
  • Lacquered, painted, mirrored or coated surfaces
  • Wood, fabric, leather or other porous materials

How to use BKF Cleanser & Polish

  1. Wet the surface first.

  3. Rub gently with a wet cloth, sponge or suitable non-scratch pad.
  4. Rinse thoroughly within one minute of application.
  5. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.

For stainless steel, rub in the direction of the grain where possible. Reapply if needed rather than leaving the product sitting for longer.

Caution

BKF is acidic and contains polishing compounds. It may etch, dull, scratch or discolour delicate surfaces if used incorrectly. Always test on a small, hidden area first, especially on fibreglass, plastics, anodised aluminium, brushed metal, coated surfaces or any surface you are unsure about.

Great product. Thanks

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

Yaaaaayyy!!! A product that finally works! I have used so many different cleaners on my shower doors and none have been able to remove the build up until now! I also used it on my cooktop to remove burnt on food stains that have been unable to be shifted for a very long time. Too easy! Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

Wasn't sure before hand how much of a difference it would make to bad lime build up over last 4 years, some up to 14 years, but after scrubbing and rinsing times 2-3 times had vast improvement. Not back to 100% like brand new with no marks but pretty close to it! Was pleasantly surprised at effectiveness and how well it worked, not just on glass but chrome fittings of bathroom as well. Will be using again for sure!

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

We have had 2 cleaners come in and tell us that they were unable to get stains out of our shower floor (ex rental 10+ years, it’s so yuck!) Ive bleached it and used everything I could think off. But wow. This is the best purchase ever!! 10 mins of scrubbing the shower floor with bar keepers friend and I’m amazed!! So worth it!!

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

The shower had a build up on the glass. A small amount of cleaning and it has come up like new. Best product I have used, also great for stainless steel.

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

Brought your 1st pack with everything in it when I started my cleaning company, never gone anywhere else

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

I wish I had taken a before foto as well. You cannot even tell the pic is from.outside the shower. So clean you can't even see the glass😁. Chucking everything else out. This is a one man army for all cleaning jobs. Thanks

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

I was amazed with the results of this product. A bit of hard work in the beginning, but it was all worth it. Awesome product. Highly recommend it. 👍

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

It's soooo shiny... I was going to throw out my 'stainless steel' shower caddy because it was rusting. And I was so gutted because it's awesome. I recently watched one of my favourite YouTubers https://youtu.be/BDTbB2OY51M and Nikkia was raving about Bar Keepers Friend. So I gave it a go... Well it exceeded my expectations, and the caddy looks better than new... And it was so easy!! Highly recommend

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

I finally found a product that works!! Done a quick 2 minute test to see if it works and I'm so happy! Didn't even need to scrub I can't believe it works. Only downfall is I bought the small can not the big. Thank you!!!

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

Our shower was really bad. I had tried loads of products and scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed with little to no results. I used bar keepers friend and yes, I still scrubbed, but this time got results. I don’t think this photo shows how good it is. I did only one glass panel at first so we could see the difference. It looked like someone had left the door open. Highly recommend bar keepers friend.

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

A good product that is more effective than anything else I’ve tried

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

This stuff is legitimately magic. I bought it because I wanted to try it out on my parents shower glass which they had previously tried all sorts of products that hadn’t worked and this cleared it completely!!

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

I own and operate a cleaning company and when we do big jobs, we use these products and we've never had an issue

Door step before and after amazing....

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

I tested on a patch in our shower and you can see the difference!its amazing. I reckon you guys will be having many more orders from me♡

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

I am a first time user of this product. I was skeptical at first because I already bought so many products and nothing I have used has worked. I've check the website and read the reviews, and thought I'd give it a try. It's way more cheaper compared to other brands out there, so why not, right?! First , I tried it on my bath and it did get the old water marks and lime off. Then, I tried it on my old pots and pans, and it got cleaned as well. I am so happy! This is an excellent product and so easy to use. I highly recommend this product and I'd definitely buy bar keepers friend again.

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

Fair amount of elbow grease but worth the results!! I also used a razor blade glass scraper to get the hardest mineral off first which really helped.

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

After a good scrub it made everything clean and shiny. The only thing I would watch when using this stuff is that it was toxic to my dog who was with me when I was cleaning and was very sick afterwards for a few days. He didn't eat any of the product but it did affect him quite badly. I later found out that rhubarb is actually toxic to dogs, so don't use this stuff around your pets. Its a good cleaner though!

Customer photo review of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 340g

Great service to start with :-) but what an excellent product ! I saw "Bar Keepers Friend" on a you tube video for easily and quickly cleaning aquarium tanks of calcium and mineral build up on glass and it works a treat ! I got sooo excited/impressed with using it that I went on to clean bench surfaces, shower etc ... awesome !

Just love this stuff, it goes everywhere but man does it clean!!!

Very good product easy to use. Arrived on time.

Really great
