@CleanFreakGermaphobe 3 жыл бұрын

It depends on the job. It's easier to rinse the liquid and I prefer it on surfaces where powder will fall off, like door knobs. Also on my sink. But the powder works best on tougher stains like rust. I used the powder on the garden tool. There's a lid for the powder and now I use that so it doesn't get clumpy.

Nice video. I've been using BKF for over 30 yrs. BKF DOES have a bleaching agent in it - get some on your clothing, and you will know what I say is true. Also, there is a BIG difference between the powder and the liquid. The powder works 100x better for every application. McGyver tip, bottom half of the container of Ice Breaker Mints works perfect for covering the top of the can instead of the cat/dog food covers that never seem to fit right!

@CleanFreakGermaphobe 10 ай бұрын

I’ve only used the liquid a few times s but like you said, the powder was so much better. I’ve got up to the ice breaker tip! I’m trying to imagine how it works. Do you need to cut the mint container?

@janshipman1291 10 ай бұрын

@@CleanFreakGermaphobeNo, I do not recall having to cut the lid off the base of the ice breaker mint container, but you may have to. You will know once you open the container. It is the base of the container you will use....the lid has a flip tab on it that is not useful for covering the can of BKF. The base (and the lid would be the same), do not fit snugly, on top of the can, (does not seal it), but it works beautifully for covering it.

@CleanFreakGermaphobe 10 ай бұрын

@janshipman1291 ok thanks, I’ll try it! I bought a lid from BKF and it’s ok but the edge is to thin which means it isn’t as secure as I’d like. Thanks!

@janshipman1291 10 ай бұрын

@@CleanFreakGermaphobeI was not aware BFK sells lids for their canned product. Interesting. I like the base from the ice breaker mints though - I can remove it with one hand easily, for it is not a tight/sealing type fit, and it has a generous overhang of about 1/2". It works for me :)

@Phatbeater Жыл бұрын

This was very helpful, EXCEPT the use of BKF on cymbals. Old cymbals can accrue a natural patina that is HEAVILY sought after, especially by jazz musicians. It can mellow out the sound and can ruin the value of a cymbal by cleaning it! Be careful when doing so, especially considering that it takes years to accrue that patina. Enjoy the character 😉.

@CleanFreakGermaphobe 2 ай бұрын

Oh that’s so interesting! I didn’t know or I would’ve mentioned that based on feedback from musicians, you may not want to clean them.

@Phatbeater 2 ай бұрын

@@CleanFreakGermaphobe It's definitely an interesting topic. Decades ago an old trick was to bury a new cymbal in the ground for a while to get a similar sound faster. However, what you said wasn't technically wrong. It's all preference! I still enjoyed the video!

@CleanFreakGermaphobe 2 жыл бұрын

No, it's actually different. Comet is bleach-based and alkaline, Bar Keepers Friend is an acidic (but natural because it's from compounds found in some vegetables) cleaner. BKF works best on rust and stainless steel surfaces (hence, the name, it was used to clean glasses and bar rails in saloons). Comet disinfects and bleaches out stains better. It's also great on oils, fats, grease, and proteins.

The abrasive in BKF is micro glass particles, whch is also referred to as a "mineral abrasive." The abrasive in BA is Feldspar, also a "mineral abrasive." Unfortunately, due to poor science education in USA, nobody actually measures the relevant issues -- hardness and diameter of the abrasive particles. Without that data, or tests which reveal an approximation of that data, commentary of the kind in this video is subjective speculation at best. Further, the "advice" on how to use BKF is contrary to the manufacturer's recommendation -- leave a wet paste on the surface to be cleaned, to give the acid time to work.

Carbon steel pans, enameled cast iron pans, it takes that burned black stuff off. Scratched tile floor you dragged an appliance over & left a streak with those adjustable metal legs - this is the only thing we found that removed that. Porcelain sink or toilet stain removal that even bleach wont get - this does. Glass stove top - same & its like 3 or 4 dollars (it was under $2 b4 covid but everything miraculously became more expensive lime gasoline every summer.
