Know before you buy

Bar Keepers Friend is a mild abrasive. While it is safe for most porcelain, enamel, and cast iron, you should avoid using it on delicate finishes like gold, silver, or brushed metals that could be dulled by the scrubbing action.
Yes, it is highly effective at removing rust and mineral deposits. The thick liquid clings well to vertical shower walls, allowing the formula to break down stubborn stains before you rinse them away.
