We often get asked the difference between Bar Keepers Friend Powdered Cleanser and Soft Cleanser. Sometimes the question is which is best for a specific purpose. Both are great questions because the two products are different and have advantages.
The Difference Between Bar Keepers Friend Powdered Cleanser and Soft Cleanser
The ingredients of the two are similar in that neither has any regulated hazardous materials, and both contain Oxalic Acid, which is the primary ingredient. The difference is what makes the soft Cleanser soft. The Soft Cleanse contains water, citric acid, and lemon scent.

“If it is routine lighter-duty cleaning, then the liquid Soft Cleanser is usually more than sufficient. If a more restorative, deep-clean is needed, then the BKF Powdered Cleanser is likely better. Bottom line: The two are not intended to be identical products. The powder offers the versatility of varying its “strength,” by the amount of water added, stronger or weaker. The Soft Cleanser is in effect “pre-diluted” or “ready-to-use” for a variety of (but not all) tasks, especially the more routine cleaning tasks.” — BKF Frequently Asked Questions
