In Love With The Bar Keeper's Friend

It may sound like the title of a racy Mills & Boon, but it's sadly much more mundane.

No one who knows me would describe me as a Domestic Goddess, but I do like a clean house and, since we can't afford a cleaner, that means I have to do the housework on occasion.

Usually I do the minimum to keep the visible surfaces at an acceptable level of cleanliness, but then there are those times when the bathroom really needs a deeper level of attention.

Unfortunately today was one of those times. However, I went to Asda this afternoon to do my weekly shop. I have no store-loyalty. I go to Asda, Sainsbury's, Morrisons or Tesco depending on where my weekly schedule takes me. Today it was Asda, (next door to Hobbycraft, but that's another story). Anyway I found this in the cleaning aisle:


Just £3 and my afternoon of cleaning was (whisper it) a joy.

It's fantastic. I'm not proud of the state my taps were in, but a zap with the Bar Keeper's Friend and they are shining like new. It was no more effort that my usual routine, but with a much better results. What's not to love?

So, if it's available where you are, I would thoroughly recommend a bottle of this.

And here ends today's public service announcement!

Thanks Kirsty - I shall give it a try. My bathroom is in dire need. I work fulltime and DD lives with my parents during the week, so I want to spend weekends with her rather than doing housework - so needless to say things tend to build up!
I suppose I could spend less time scrapping and blogging.................

No, don't do that Julie!

Works brilliantly on dark brown stains on wooden worktops caused by e.g. aluminium cans or unglazed porcelain
