When you think about the word “friend” what comes to mind? For me it’s someone that I can trust, someone that is always there, someone that makes things better when they are really bad, someone that is reliable and has a proven track record of always coming through! Would you agree?
We’ve written about Bar Keeper’s friend several times but I never really put a lot of thought on how or why this product was named Bar Keepers Friend until now. I really think it is named that because like a friend this product is always there to make things better and it’s a product that so many people trust…. after all it’s been around since the 1800’s. With that being said I wanted to examine all the top uses for Bar keepers Friend that I could find!
