Liquid is just as effective as powder, but without the grit.
I agree with MaryAnn that using a scouring stone is a good idea. I have well water and my toilet always has a ring around it. I was concerned that a stone would scratch my porcelain toilet, but it actually removed the toilet rings.
I'm not sure if goof off or goof gone would work, but they might. They remove all of the stickers from furniture, appliances, and other surfaces.
No, it will not scratch the surface of your black gas stove.

I assumed I'd have to replace it or sand it down and refinish it, but I bought this stuff as a last-ditch effort to repair it myself. The scratches don't just disappear with a little elbow grease; they don't just disappear with a few minutes of scrubbing. My sink looks almost new again after two rounds. It also removed a few mineral stains in my bathtub that I thought were permanent after a soft scrub failed. They were gone with a little of this, the scrubby side of a blue sponge, and a little effort! Unfortunately, I don't usually photograph my bathtub, so there's no before and after, but I did remember to take some pictures of my sink. For the next week, I'm going to annoy everyone who will listen about my sink cleaning antics.
I really like this cleaner, but it's way too expensive. I guess I didn't notice the ounces. The bottles are incredibly tiny. Shop at Walmart or Target to save money.
Because of the positive reviews on Amazon and other sites, I decided to give it a try, and it turned out to be a good choice. I would strongly advise lathering whatever you're cleaning in the mixture first and allowing it to sit for about 10 minutes before scrubbing and rinsing. It works perfectly this way, and you don't have to put in a lot of effort. br>br>However, there is one caveat. On Amazon, it's a lot more expensive. I should've looked around before buying this, but it's only $8 for a 13-ounce bottle. A 26 oz. can be found for less than $3 at Target, Walmart, and virtually any other convenience/supermarket store. If you can go to one instead, go to one. You'll get twice as much for less than half the price. It isn't just Amazon, as I had assumed.
I was thrilled to find a reasonably priced set that had seen better days, and I'm glad I did. The cleanser not only removed the rust spots quickly and easily, but it also restored their original luster! br>br>After cleaning our knives, I tried it on our porcelain sink, which I usually have to douse in bleach cleaner to get rid of the stains, filling the entire kitchen with noxious fumes. It was a fantastic success! The stains were removed, and the sink was restored to its former glory. br>br>At first, I applied and scrubbed the knives with a folded up paper towel, but the towels didn't seem to be doing the job well, so I switched to a dampened scrubbing sponge, which worked perfectly. If you don't rinse the items you're cleaning after you've finished scrubbing them, the cleanser will dry to a crusty haze that will be more difficult to remove than when they're wet. br>br>Overall, a fantastic product at a fantastic price!.
This product is fantastic; I use it on everything from the kitchen sink to the stove and bath tub. Even the most abrasive cleaners I've used pale in comparison. Because of how well it works, I can't give it anything less than 5 stars. The following item, however, is overpriced in this listing: br>br>Remember to write down the ounces- Two 16-ounce bottles are included in this package. A single 32-ounce bottle is the standard size found in most stores. The 32oz bottle in the store costs less than $3, but this two-pack cost more than $8 when I purchased it. I assumed I was paying a little more for the convenience of having it delivered to me (assuming these were standard bottles), but I ended up paying way too much per ounce. It was entirely my fault for failing to check the ounce count- However, I thought I'd bring it up so that others don't make the same error.
Wow, this is incredible! Brasso was the first thing I tried, but it didn't work. I searched YouTube for a video on how to clean brass with Bar Keepers Friend. I saw this stuff in the store, but there was no mention of using it for brass. In a matter of seconds, this stuff removed 25 years of tarnish from my mind. I used a damp kitchen scrubbing spong to rub circles after applying it thickly and letting it sit for a few minutes. It was easy to remove. The excess should be wiped away with a d shirt or towel, and the surface polished with a microfiber towel.
Before the application, it appeared to be shiny chrome, and afterward, it appears to be brushed nickel. I purchased it for our stainless steel sink and tested it on a small area, but it appears to scratch the surface rather than clean it. Because I used a sponge, I'm not sure what's causing the scratching. It also didn't do a very good job of cleaning off the spoon holder. The small rust spots have become more difficult to see, but they are still there. I'm not sure I want to put it on my new sink because it's so strange. I read all of your glowing testimonials and followed the instructions, but I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I used to only use the powder versions (in fact, when I can find it, I prefer Bon Ami to BKF). It's a lot less difficult now. If you need to clean thoroughly, however, use the powder. I was hooked after seeing someone use it to polish their stainless steel. The powder shines and cleans the stainless steel, but not as well as this. I get a paper towel full of grey grossness when I use this on my stainless steel, even after cleaning it with the powder. br>br>First, use the powder and a stainless steel scrubber to remove any food stains. Brush stainless steel, such as the bottoms of my pots, will be scratched by this. This is irrelevant to me. The smooth surfaces will not be scratched. Then use a paper towel to polish it. This product does nothing but polish. Although it will leave a ding in the stains, using the powder is quicker. My stainless (and copper) bottoms are now gleaming like new. br>br>I also used it on my ceramic tub and tile. It works great and is a lot less work than using powder.
