Yes, you can clean windows with Bar Keepers Friend. I’ve been using BKF for more than 50 years but didn’t know I could clean my windows with BKF powder until last year. Here’s the story.
During the summer, I work at what I call my outside office. It’s a round patio table with an umbrella that allows me to sit facing the wooded hill behind my home while I write away. From summer to fall, the maple, oak, and walnut trees hide the homes at the top of the hill from my view.
When a storm threatens, I move inside and take in the view through our sliding patio door. On one such day last summer, I did just that but found the vista covered in smudges. It was the door, not the woods, which was smudged.
The door had smudges on the inside, and water spots had accumulated on the outside pane of glass. There were water spots on water spots on smudges. I thought, there’s got to be a better way to clean this door (or my windows). Then it hit me. I use BKF on my shower door, so wouldn’t it work on my sliding patio door?
The experts tell us we can use BKF on glass oven doors, glass stovetops, and glass table tops so why not windows? So, I got online and jumped down that rabbit hole where I found videos of people doing precisely that. BKF could rescue my view!
No problem! Looking for the best way to clean glass shower doors, sinks, toilets, and other bathroom surfaces? Look no further than Bar Keepers Friend. Our bathroom cleaners tackle rust, hard water stains, mineral deposits, soap scum, and grime to keep your bathroom fresh and sparkling.
How to use BKF Spay and Foam
Rotate the trigger to the symbol for spray for regular cleaning or foam for deeper cleaning. You’ll find two stops and the two symbols on the trigger. When I’m not sure, I give the trigger a squeeze to test it. Spray from 6 to 8 inches away, rub it thoroughly with a cloth or sponge, and then use a cloth to wipe it dry. It’s that easy. If it’s a stubborn stain, let the foam sit for one minute before rubbing.
Cleaning Sliding Patio Door Tracks
Sliding door tracks attract dirt, grime, bugs, and more. I use BKF MORE Spray + Foam cleaner to clean away the grime of time that builds up on tracks. Left unattended, the build-up can interfere with the operation of the door.
I’ve tried cleaners that were more Pray and Foam than Spray and Foam. You prayed they would work, which usually meant they didn’t.
BKF Spray and Foam is tough on stains on many levels. It has two settings depending on your cleaning needs. For lighter cleaning, set the bottle to spray. For more challenging jobs, try the foam setting. Either way, you don’t have to pray it will work. It works.
