The powder is personally my favorite, but the cream is somewhat easier to clean showers.
I used the powdered one before on my stainless steel pans and pots but I made the mistake once of not wearing gloves (as the bottle suggests) and I thought something horrible would happen to my fingers. It was as if I soaked my hands in water for days. I switched to the soft cleaner and have stuck with that ever since. I wear disposable gloves when I use it every time, and for my, I felt like I didn’t have to scrub as hard as I did with the powder one. I use it with scrub daddy and works great.
The soft cleanser works amazing on copper bottom pots. I'd argue it works better than the powder. It was my go to for my revereware pots.
Thanks Brandon, another great video! Love your enthusiasm 😊
Excellent video. Just purchased some revere stainless pots and pans with the copper bottoms and can’t wait to clean them.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for explaining and the links!
Of the 3, powder wins! Squeeze bottle smells awful and you definitely need gloves. Spray cleaner didn't really do much for my shower.... I love the powder and use it on pretty much everything!
You’d still need rubber gloves especially for the powdered ones bc it will affect the skin. I made a mistake once using it without gloves, took my fingers days to go back normal.
I hate the smell of both!
Omg yes!! The liquid/soft scrub one smells horrible. I can't take it. I don't notice the powder smelling though.
Good morning. Thanks for letting us know the differences.
You got it, I appreciate you watching!
Thanks for the demo, and info, have a great day
Thank you! This is very helpful
Great information, as always. Thanks, Brandon!
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos, they are so easy to follow and I have found them so very useful. Had a question for you though. How do you clean older sticky wood furniture like chair backs.
Came for cleaning silverware with this product and you solved my other problem which is glass shower doors. Thanks!
Be sure to test a small spot first, on any porcelain sink or tub, as the label says. I didn't, and the acid in BKF powder removed most of the shine on my sink.
Thanks so much for the video 👍🏼 I found it very helpful.
Happy to help!
luvlee touch, the confetti! thanx just bought More for toilet bowl and tank build up because I dont want to erode the ceramic coating with abrasives, only to have it invite more rust. Toilet is only 9 months old and slowly it is starting to yellow from well system. Thanx very helpful.
Thank you!!
THANK YOU👍🏿
I’m still looking for the MORE spray, but I really enjoyed this clarification of the differences! Thank you!
Home Depot
I didn't think it worked as good. I was kind of disappointed in the spray.

Thank you so much for this video it's greatly appreciated! One question for you is that would you use the spray on fiber glass tubs and showers? I know with fiberglass stuff you have eto be super careful and can't use any abrasive cleansers or tools to clean them with.
Works great!!!!
I so wish we had this in my country..
Great video and great information
Thanks for watching!
Can you do a how to video on outdoor cleaning like decks, deck chairs, etc
Lol BB e barkeepers friend I'm a new big fan of it just recently tried
I like Bar Keeper Friends, but I prefer Bon-Ami. I love how it shines my Stainless Steel sink.
And it smells so much better than BKF!
Love both but you are right and no smell
For tarnished copper, lemon juice and salt works like magic (actually it’s chemistry-oxidation/reduction reaction)
Would you recommend using bar keepers friend liquid on silgranite or composite granite kitchen sinks? Have a few hard water stains I have yet to get rid of. In your video I saw you use the BKF on a sink and it looked like granite composite. Thanks for the informative video.
I have both the powder and soft cleanser under my sink and love them. I'm in Canada and I do find it hard to locate the "more" spray so I don't have that but wish I did lol! Thanks for this explanation! I always love learning more about good cleaning products. Curious about your opinion on all the videos claiming they know how to make dawn powerwash. I've made the recipe but not sure if it works as well as the OG. P.S. LOVE the lego succulents! I just got mine and still need to put it together 😍
I have been meaning to test out that recipe! I’ll most likely do a video on it at some point. Huge Lego house hold over here… 😅 The flower sets are very fun to build!
@@CleanThatUp awesome! I look forward to your thoughts! I have to say, the botanical collection has piqued my interest in lego lol! I ordered them all 🤣
Hey Brandon , I have a question … what would you suggest to use on a RV awning ?? When the RV is not in use of course we have the awning rolled up , well it rains here in the afternoon in Florida . So there may be mildew stains , what product would you suggest to use on the awning without harming the vinyl the awning is made of .
O pó pode usar no box?
I used the powder today to get a dried on gravy stain out of a shirt. And I use it on my All-Clad stainless.
I have a stain on my favorite shirt, I’ll try the powder. Thanks
Do you not use steel wool when cleaning?
Can i use this on the inside of my frying pan or is that not recommended?
Soft I haven't seen until here my new idea is ajax soft cleaner
Is it safe to clean porcelain tiles? Will the microabrasions track dirt and dust in the future?
How long do you let it sit in the bathtub before washing/rinsing out?
I'd use the liquid versions if they didn't stink to high heaven. I have Chemical Sensitivities (aka Environmental Illness) and can't stand chemical or fragrance smells. So it's just the powder for me
Can I use in my stainless fridge door? it has a water line I can not get off.
I just bought the powder. Can i use it to clean the silver burner on my stove? I am trying to clean the grease
There should be more channels like yours here in germany, also you may want to get some proper microfiber detergent to have your microfiber last as much as possible
There is a microfiber cleanser/detergent? I had no idea!
@@moodyboobsjanna Theres many nowadays, mainly found in car care supplier shops. Theyre made specifically to clean Microfiber without clogging the fibers or leaving anything behind that can reduce the function of the fibers, any other detergent will clog the fibers up or get them sticking together which kills their function.
@@stevenwinderlich2891
Interesting!
I'll have to look for that.👍🏻
Powder all the way!
one way to clean copper easier than scrubbing with BKF is using a tomato. Cut it in half and wipe it all over the copper. Raw Tomatoes work better than Ketchup, taco sauce.
Oxalic acid is used as wood bleach
BKF took the sheen off of my stovetop in some areas as I was trying to remove a burned on stain...which it did not remove. Is there a way to restore the shine to the dulled sections now? Thx.
I have the same problem with my porcelain sink. I left BKF powder on too long, and it removed most of the shine. I've tried to polish it with other non abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth, but nothing helps at all. I think they should put a much stronger warning on the label. My sink is destroyed!
The liquid smells absolutely awful, I won’t use it again.
I don’t like any powder form cleaner because it feels like the powder is getting into my lungs.
so its safe to use on a composite sink?
Depends
😎👏🏻
am trying to decide between bar keeper and pink stuff. which one is better?
Bar Keeper is better and cheaper
The powder is an abrasive
I live in a house that was built in 1905. I have the original porcelain tub and it is very difficult to get dirt and grime out. I have tried many cleaning products including the Bar keepers soft scrub on it and nothing seems to get the grime out of the porcelain. Can you please help me!?
Your problem is probably that the tub needs to be reglazed. Nothing will keep it clean for long. I would use Comet or a similar product, but that also depends on your water. If you have iron water, bleach will make it worse. An iron filter would be your first step in that situation.
@@pr9177use iron out/ rust out powder
i would love to know why Comet cleanser is not more popular in cleaning videos? Compared to bar keepers it works SO much better for everything! what am i missing? or is it just some fad? thanks
I feel like Comet contains chemicals. Isn't BKF more natural like Bon Ami? I'm just guessing but Comet has bleach type properties.
For me, I don't like the smell of comet. The second reason is the ingredients and method of removal. Its calcium carbonate which is more or less ground up shell, so its a physical cleaning removal. Whereas bar keeper is oxalic acid which is a chemical reaction that breaks up hard on grime. For me, Comet works fine if a space is kept routinely clean. But since i use to live in bad apartments often and people didn't clean there would be layered in grime which may need a little dissolving power, to get cleaning done faster. Especially since I have chronic fatigue, if something can do more of a breakdown without me scrubbing, it saves more energy for other things. Even in the lab I work in if the soap and brush arent working...we're using the acid to acid wash our dishes.
@@tic857I love the smell of Comet 😂 thanks for explaining this
I personally use this cleaner because Comet triggers my asthma attacks. This doesn't effect me at all.
I've been using it for many years, but there's a random new fad going around the cleaning side of CZcams 😂
Help!1 My 3yr. old granddaughter wrote on my apartment walls with crayon and marker.
Oh no! I might try some Zep foaming wall cleaner.
Also for permanent marker you can write over it with a dry erase marker and it will come right off.
