Let me start by offering my sincere apology to the ladies at Williams Sonoma. They have suggested this product to me for YEARS, and every time, I politely decline their offer to add a bottle of Bar Keeper’s Friend to my purchase. It wasn’t until I saw a pin on Pinterest, that I had to think twice about this product.
My plates look horrible. I’ve had them for several years and my silverware leaves marks on my plates. I wash the plates. I scrub the plates. The dishes are clean, but the marks are still there.
Here’s a closer look.
That’s the same plate!
Seriously. I would not lie to you… same plate!
It takes more than one try to make a believer out of me. So, I took out one of my small plates. Here’s the before.
And now the after.
Hmmm. The Williams Sonoma ladies always want me to buy this to use on my All-Clad. Now, here is a tough stain.
Ummm, excuse me… why didn’t anyone tell me about this? Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma… did you know about this??? Ok, they probably did tell me about it, but I just didn’t listen.
I’m tellin’ ya, this stuff is amazing! I bought mine at ACE hardware, but I know they also sell it at Williams Sonoma. (And when the ladies at Williams Sonoma try to tell you about this stuff, you need to listen to them.)

It also works wonders on glass that has gotten gunky, like coffee pot carafe and stainless steel sinks. I use it all the time but not as much as I did because I have a granite sink now and can't use it. Also on stove tops, enamel and glass.

Becca, I had the same problem on my Williams Sonoma dinnerware. I bought Bar Keepers Friend and got the same results!! I use it for everything now! That stuff is amazing!

Love Bar Keepers and have used it for years after someone told me about it. My white dishes look like yours. I'm headed to the kitchen to try it on them!

Love it and I get mine at our local Food Lion. Stuff's been around for years and is wonderful. 🙂

Wow, I love this idea. I have passed up many thrift or garage sale plates due to those marks.

One of my favorite products for years. The liquid is even better — non-abrasive! Copper pots — magic.

One of my favorites too!

I use this on my pots but never thought of using it on a plate.

What is in it?? I'm just wondering about the chemical content – my plates are fine but my pots could certainly use some sprucing up. Also, would it work on the scratches on a stainless steel sink??

I love Bar Keepers Friend is the only product I trust and use in my kitchen!
