I have been using this stuff for years.......Works very well on glass top stoves, as well as copper bottom pots. -
I use the clay from H2O at Home to do all of this. You can clean ANY surface and it removes tarnish from stainless steel and silver and make it sparkle. It also leave a protective coating so it stays cleaner longer. Best of all it's food safe, all natural and safe for the environment and septic systems. -
I make a paste of dishwasher powder and smear it on the sink and drain. I let it stand for 5 or 10 minutes (or longer), rub with dishrag and rinse. It makes it shine with little effort a the tea/coffee stain in the drain vanishes. It works on showers, bathtub, tile and coffee pot and mugs! -
I love these ideas!!! Jean C where do you get that? -
i love BK for the stainless sink keeps it clean and shiny use it on the ceramic stove top also. But for the bathtub, and toilet use AJAX stopped using it and I seen the difference. Nothing like AJAX an elbo grease for cleaning the those items. -
You can get Bar Keepers at the dollar store. Cheap stuff and works wonderfully. -
Use Barkeeper's Friend on your aluminum runningboards on your SUV. The oxidation from running it through the carwash. -
Where can you buy it? I love the tip about using it on your headlights and would love to give it a try! -
Any suggestions for rust spots on stainless steel sinks? They are small areas on the "bridge" between the two sinks. This is a new sink in a new home completed in May. Don't know why this should happen in the 1st place. Any suggestions appreciated. -
It's delivered right to your door! http://www.myh2oathome.com/repsites/frm_brid... I am SO done with all these toxic cleaners. Just let me know if you'd like to know more.

Bleach cleans a stainless sink very easily, just pour a little in the sink, spread it around the facet, handles and rim area with a paper towel, let it set a few seconds and rinse with hot water spray and wipe with a paper towel to dry and shine You get a sparkling clean, germ free sink at a very low cost and you do not need any special products to do it. My sink always shines and I know it is germ free when I use Clorox to clean it. And if you have rust spots on your sink you do not ...» -
I use both bleach and the bar keepers but never together. It's important that you NOT use other cleaners with bleach. I've had stainless sinks for over 40 years and would not want any other finish for the kitchen. Vinegar is great for a quick clean up and the odor dissipates quickly. -
We use a Mr Clean Magic Eraser on our stainless steel sink. Rub with the grain and any stains come out - and no smell. Of course this does not disinfect, but it is good for stains. -
Thanks so much for all the suggestions!

Bar Keepers Friend (cookware) is sold at Bed Bath and Beyond and I am told works best on pots and pans (3.99). I bought the regular Bar Keepers Friend at Target (1.75) but it does not do good on pots and pans. I have used for many years Cameo Aluminum & Stainless Steel Cleaner (works great on stainless steel sinks!). They also make one for Copper as well. The cost is around $1.19, As I said you need to make sure if you are buying for in and outside of pots and pans and want to buy Bar ...» -
Your food prep area's need BLEACH. Dilute it 1:10 H20 for counters, but use in sink full strength. Use Bar Keeper's to scrub it but use bleach between for sanitizing. That is one germ infested place in a home, it's sinks. Free R.N., advice ;-) -
I love all of your ideas! I love my magic erasers...especially for cleaning the outside of my refrigerator. Denise Wheeler-Mayo i bought mine at Target.

Just make sure that if you're using bleach that you do NOT have a septic system, and if you're using it to sanitize, that it's fresh (it loses it's effectiveness within weeks), that you've cleaned the surface first (you can't sanitize a dirty surface) and you leave it on for 5-10 minutes. Just a little info about sanitizing that a lot of people don't realize.

White vinegar (a mild acid) is the best for removing mineral buildup around faucets. Foll a paper towel and fit it around the faucet base. Pour vinegar in towel and let sit for a couple hours. I always do my kitchen overnight. In the morning all the buildup wipes away with no effort and is sparkling clean. -
AJAX with Bleach.......$1 at the Dollar Store.......does the best and shines beautifully! -
Peroxide and baking soda for septic systems that cannot have bleach!

no bleach in septic then..how come? -
Bleach in septic tanks will kill all the beneficial bacteria that break down waste. Rid-x will add it back and my septic tank guy said he puts a block of yeast in his that does the same thing (I have never tried yeast). He gets it at Sam's club. Also, I use a product called BioSmart that pours down your sink & tub drains and eats away build-up in the pipes from sinks to septic. Rid-x goes straight to septic but doesn't clean sink and tub pipe gunk. -
After cleaning my sink I put a drop of olive oil in it and use a paper towel to rub it all around the sink. Helps keep away water spots. :)

We don't use bleach at all in our household! I love this stuff, though.
