Cleaning your kitchen can be a chore. Not many people know this, but your kitchen is, on average, the dirtiest place in your home. With multiple surfaces capable of collecting and holding onto bacteria (think of all the food prep that happens there), the kitchen is more likely to breed germs than your bathroom. Seriously! Appliances are a big part of what makes a kitchen, well… a kitchen. Whether it’s for food storage, cooking, baking, preserving, etc., your appliances can, and will, get dirty.
Bar Keepers Friend products such as BKF Cleanser and Soft Cleanser make no disinfectant claims. However, they’re excellent at removing the really tough dirt, grime, soils & build-ups prior to applying a disinfectant to those hard, non-porous surfaces -- so the disinfectant can properly do its job. Here are our top kitchen cleaning tips:
Kitchen Cleaning Tip #1: Keep Up On Dishes
While dishes can be that chore everyone tends to avoid, keeping up with the dirty pile benefits you in the long run. The bacteria from food particles left behind can multiply, which puts your family's health at risk. Many pots and pans will begin to rust if left in the sink too long, while other dishes and utensils become harder to clean once food grime sets in. BKF powder cleanser or Cookware Cleanser are perfect for those “hard to get off” messes.
Kitchen Cleaning Tip #2: Watch Out For Those Countertops
Kitchen countertops of any kind should be wiped down on a daily basis. Crumbs, bacteria from raw food, cross-contamination, etc., are just a few things associated with dirty countertops. Anyone with granite, marble, or stone countertops want theirs to be especially clean and shiny. Bar Keepers Friend Granite & Stone Cleaner & Polish is specially formulated for use on smooth, polished stone – including granite, marble, and quartz. Its pH-balanced formula won’t scratch or mar stone finishes, and it’s gentle enough to use every day, making it perfect for cleaning up the food build-up on your countertops! As a bonus tip: BKF’s Cooktop Cleaner can continue that level of clean for your cooktops!
Kitchen Cleaning Tip #3: Stainless Steel Has a Big Role
Stainless Steel appliances have trended for more than two decades. Stainless steel might not rust but it certainly can get dirty. Bar Keepers Friend products are a stainless steel lover’s best friend! Bar Keepers Friend powder and Cookware Cleanser both are excellent on appliances. Follow those up with BKF’s Stainless Steel Cleaner, and your appliances will be healthier than ever (and you will be too).
Kitchen Cleaning Tip #4: Cleaning the Oven Door
There aren't too many places anywhere in a home that can become harder to clean than an oven door. Seriously, food and grease are literally baked into the glass. “Sometimes, it seems like that layer of grease that builds up on the glass of your oven door is impossible to clean without harsh cleaning products. But Bar Keepers Friend can take care of it easily! Just smear a layer onto the glass, then rub or scrub it away. The grease will disappear, and you’ll be amazed! All the grime scrubbed right off in just a couple of minutes!” — 14 Things You Can Clean With Bar Keepers Friend That Will Amaze You
Kitchen Cleaning Tip #5: The Kitchen Sink
Kitchen sinks take a lot of abuse, and whether they're stainless steel, composite, or porcelain, they get stained. Sometimes sinks become so stained that many think the only thing you can do is replace them. Those people haven't used BKF products. Here's what a few of our fans shared about reviving their hopelessly stained sinks. “After days trying to remove a large stain from a stainless steel sink, using scourers, all sorts of products, etc., I was about to give up and admit that I would probably have to replace the whole sink unit (rented property.) I remembered hearing about Bar Keeper’s Friend and thought I’d give it a try, nothing to lose at that point! Well, just used it (powder), and it got rid of the entire stain in less than a minute of scrubbing with a sponge! I’m floored and very grateful I now won’t have to pay out for a new sink!” – Kelly W. “You saved my sink! It’s chipped pretty badly, but I don’t think I have the heart to replace it. It is so pretty, I agree! Glad I was able to bring it back to life with BKF!” — Eileen M. “Yesterday afternoon, I received the full-size bottle of MORE Spray + Foam cleaner that I got to choose. I have to admit, I was skeptical because I’ve tried so many other products. I tried it on a rust stain on my old kitchen sink, and to my surprise, it REMOVED it! Next, I will be trying it on my shower doors next and can hardly wait. You don’t mind cleaning so much when the product actually works! Thank you, Bar Keepers Friend. You are a keeper!!!” — Mary D
