Holiday Cleaning is Year-Round

December 20, 2023

Yes, holiday cleaning is year-round. As I write this, it’s snowing. It’s mid-December, so the traditional holidays come to mind: Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, New Years, and more. However, there are holidays all year. There are 11 official federal holidays, every religion has special occasions, and there are celebrations other than holidays.

Holiday Cleaning is Year-round

We celebrate milestones such as birthdays, graduations, and anniversaries. There are watch parties for ball games, pool parties, and housewarmings. If you check the National Day Calendar, there’s something nearly every day of the year. A clean home for winter holiday gatherings is important, but also for a 4th of July party!

Regardless of the occasion, Bar Keepers Friend can help, and we can help in more ways than most people know.

When I began writing for BKF, I shared that I grew up with the powdered cleanser. We sold it and used it in our mom-and-pop convenience store. Mom used it in her small cafeteria; of course, we used it at home. I didn’t know how many products Bar Keepers Friend offers now, and I’ll wager some of you reading this don’t know all BKF offers in the 21st century. So, here’s the Bar Keepers Friend product line to clean your home for all the holidays!

1. The Original Powdered Cleanser. It’s still one of the best cleaners to tackle tough stains, grease, tarnish, water spots, and mineral deposits on multiple surfaces, including stainless steel and porcelain.
2. Did you know BKF comes in a spray? MORE Spray + Foam is the same formula as the powder cleanser but without micro-abrasives. You can use the spray cleaner setting to clean horizontal or easy-to-reach surfaces or the “foam” setting to clean vertical surfaces.
3. The Bar Keepers Friend Cookware Cleanser cleans more than cooktops. As Christina Roark, BKF Controller & VP Of Digital Marketing, told me, “My favorite is the Cookware Cleaner. It’s like the original powder on steroids! I’ve used it on burnt all-clad cookware, stainless steel, and even my kitchen and bathroom sinks.”
4. Our newest product is something customers have asked about for years. Unlike our other products, EZ-Flush isn’t a cleaning product, but a flushing aid.  The formula includes glycerin, which acts as a clog-preventer. It can also get your toilets flowing if there happens to be an existing clog.
5. Don’t confuse EZ-Flush with BKF Toilet Bowl Cleaner, which removes grime, rust, and hard-to-clean hard water stains. This cleaner makes porcelain shine like new.
6. My personal favorite is the Soft Cleanser. It might be my go-to because I’m lazy. It cleans like the original powder, but it’s premixed! I keep it in my bathroom to use on my shower doors, sink, and more. You can remove soap scum, rust stains, tarnish, and mineral deposits with BKF Soft Cleanser.
7. The best thing about BKF Granite & Stone Cleaner & Polish is that it’s safe for natural stone. BKF saw too many stories about marble, quartz, and granite countertops being scratched by cleaners, so we formulated a product especially for polished stone surfaces!
8. Number 8 is two products that work together. Our Coffee Maker Cleaner removes tannins and oils from coffee makers, carafes, and mugs, while the  Coffee Maker Descaler removes mineral scale build-up. They’ll make your coffee taste better and help your maker last longer.
9. Several of our products will clean stainless steel, but did you know we have a product specifically designed for it? Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish cleans stainless steel and polishes it!
10. Not to be confused with our Cookware Cleanser, we also have a Cooktop Cleaner. Quick and convenient for cooktops, microwaves, and other glass and ceramic surfaces.

So Many Products!

How many of the ten products were you aware of? As I said earlier, for me, it was only one, but now I’ve used them all, and they certainly make holiday cleaning easier, whatever holiday it is, because holiday cleaning is year-round. Happy holidays!
