When you least expect it, a spot or stain needs attention. What should you do? We have compiled a chart of some helpful hints for using our products, Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser and Just 'N Time Stain remover. Bar Keepers Friend is "the cleanser" for removing rust stains.  Bar Keepers Friend can remove rust stains from your sink and even your fabrics.  

We have also included many "tried and true" household remedies.   We hope you will find these hints helpful, when needed in an emergency, but always remember to test a small hidden area first with the cleaning product to make sure it will not be permanently stained or damaged.

 
ALCOHOL STAIN:

 Sponge with cold water, then glycerin and water. Before laundering, rinse with vinegar water.
BLOOD STAIN:

 Soak in cold water for approximately a half hour. If stain remains, use JUST 'N TIME or soak in lukewarm ammonia water (3 tablespoons of household ammonia per gallon of water). On thick fabrics, spread stain with paste of cornstarch and water. Let dry and brush off.
BRASS TARNISH:

 Clean and polish with BAR KEEPERS FRIEND. Makes your antique brass articles glisten and gleam like new. (Do not use on lacquered surfaces.)

CHOCOLATE (also candy):
|
Rub JUST 'N TIME Stain Remover into fabric and wash out with clear water. Then launder.

CHROME:

 Shine and polish your chrome to look as good as new by using BAR KEEPERS FRIEND Cleanser.
COFFEE STAIN:

 1 cup of Hydrogen Peroxide, 1 teaspoon of ammonia, and mix (use within 1/2 hour of mixing.) Dab the mixture on the stain. Take white paper towel and place the paper towel over the stain and weigh it down with something. Leave for 2 to 3 hours. The stain will be gone.
COPPER TARNISH:

 Use COPPER GLO Cleanser to renew the finish on your copper-bottomed cookware. Works quickly and effectively, without hard scouring.

CRAYON STAIN:

Loosen stain with kitchen shortening such as Crisco.  Apply detergent, working until outline of stain is removed. Launder. On silk or wool, use JUST 'N TIME Stain Remover.
EGG STAIN:

 Sponge with cold water. If stain remains, work in soap or detergent.
FABRIC STAIN:

 

 

 

 For rust stains in fabric, apply a paste of Bar Keepers Friend Powder.  For garments that are yellowed from rust in water, add 1 1/2 cup of BKF to large pail of water.  After soaking over night, pour the solution into washing machine and launder as usual.  Do not use detergents containing chlorine on rust stains.
FRUIT & BERRY STAINS:

 Stretch cloth over bowl and pour boiling hot water through it. If stain persists, sponge with lemon solution. Never use soap and water on fresh fruit stains.

ICE CREAM STAIN:

 Sponge in cold water. Apply either mild detergent solution or vinegar water.

PAINT STAIN:

WINE STAIN:

Stretch the fabric over a pan in the sink, and pour boiling water over the stain from a height of three to four feet. This works most successfully when the stain is fresh. Next try soaking the red wine in white wine to bleach it out. Finally, cover the stain with a thick baking soda paste, leave it for a few hours keeping it moist by spraying it with water from a spray bottle. Wash as normal.
