Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 595g
Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser 595g
BKF is BIG. This is the original cleanser in the larger 595g size
Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish has become hugely popular in New Zealand, particularly for its unmatched ability to clean shower glass. This powerful, multipurpose cleaner is celebrated for removing rust, metal tarnish, mineral deposits, and stains on most hard surfaces, including those stubborn shower glass spots.
Unlike many other cleaners, BKF is bleach-free, making it safe and effective on stainless steel and various other surfaces.
Customizable Cleaning Power
As a versatile powder, BKF can be mixed to match your cleaning needs—use a thick paste for tougher stains or a lighter slurry for delicate tasks. The paste’s higher acidity is perfect for tackling mineral deposits and rust stains, while a watery slurry works wonders on tarnished stainless steel pans or sinks.
