Bar Keepers Friend or Bon Ami?

[KitchenWitch]

I know this is not earth shattering, but I am trying to decide.

[XemaSab]

1. I know people FIRMLY on both sides of that question

:scared:

[KitchenWitch]

2. Oh dear, should I don the asbestos suit?

[XemaSab]

5. My mom vs. my ex-BF?

Yes, :scared:

[KitchenWitch]

11. Which side is your mom on?

[XemaSab]

12. My mom's on the Barkeeper's friend side

:shrug:

[LSK]

3. buttsex???

:hide:

4. Bar Keepers Friend is what I like to use.

I use it on my stovetop, that's about it.

[KitchenWitch]

6. Ceramic cooktop?

[auntAgonist]

15. ceramic yes.

[lizziegrace]

24. I use it on my stainless steel pots and pans and the kitchen sink

No scratches. :)

[Lil Missy]

7. I don't understand the question.

But I think the answer is NO!

[KitchenWitch]

8. both are scouring/polishing products

I need one or the other.

[Lil Missy]

13. You wouldn't even believe what I thought that meant.

[LeftyMom]

9. Bon Ami. Because that's what my grocer has.

:shrug: I'm sure BKF works fine too.

[Tom Kitten]

10. two nots

and a Zud...

[Gormy Cuss]

14. Both.

Bar Keepers Friend for cookware and polished metal. Bon Ami for many other services.

[KitchenWitch]

16. GAAAH!

:rofl:

[MrsMatt]

29. I agree with Gus

I have BOTH in my cupboard!

[surrealAmerican]

18. That's what I was going to say.

I generally prefer bon ami because it smells better, but barkeeper's friend does a better job on the stainless steel fronts of our appliances.

17. Wait! I know this! It's a ttrick question! Whichever one I choose

will be handed to me, and I'll be stuck cleaning the bathroom again

:evilfrown:

[Strong Atheist]

19. Lol!

:toast:

[azmouse]

20. Comet

[geardaddy]

34. But it makes your teeth turn green.

and tastes like gasoline.
It also makes you vomit.

[azmouse]

36. It's versatile!

:woohoo: Is there nothing that comet can't do?!!

[AlCzervik]

21. barkeepers because they always have it in stock where i shop.

i also like bon ami and comet and soft scrub with bleach and without.

[Left Is Write]

22. Barkeeper's Friend. For sure.

[MrCoffee]

23. Neither. Get you some Old Dutch

OD is the bomb-nasty when it comes to scouring powders

[geardaddy]

35. Good think they don't sell Old Dutch cleanser in MN.

Old Dutch is a brand of potato chips. I might get confused :D

[Arugula Latte]

25. The answer is "Jesus."

'Cuz no matter what the question, Jesus is the answer.

:P

[AlCzervik]

26. Now with Bleach!

[Arugula Latte]

27. And a fresher, more Jesusy scent!

[AlCzervik]

28. Jesus, the fresh maker!

30. I don't have Bar Keepers Friend right now but, as I recall, it contains oxalic acid

which makes it good for removing hard water deposits and rust from sinks.
and other stuff...

31. When I was 5 years old I thought it was "Bear Keepers Friend"

...and I always wondered why we had it under the kitchen sink, even though we didn't keep bears. :shrug:

[NMDemDist2]

32. BKF hands down

:hi:

[geardaddy]

33. BKF, yo!

It's where it's at.
