The holiday season is hard on surfaces. Cooking, eating turkey, drinking eggnog, and the stains and spills that follow are a challenge. It’s a constant battle that starts on Thanksgiving and doesn’t end until New Years’, if then. So, how do you keep up with the battle for the countertop? Here’s how to use BKF to clean granite countertops and more. With BKF, you can win the countertop war.

My mom has always said that shiny is clean and dull is dirty. Tabletops, counters, and well, most surfaces should sparkle when they’re clean, and if they didn’t sparkle – then you weren’t done cleaning. I can’t count the number of times as a teenager I was sent back to finish cleaning something. I can still hear my mother answering my, “But Mom!” with “Randall Lyle, you get back in there and make that shines, right now.”

BKF to the Rescue

  • Use Bar Keepers Friend Granite & Stoner Cleaner & Polish
  • Spray the cleaner evenly on the surface of the countertop
  • Let it sit for about one minute
  • Using a non-abrasive nylon mesh sponge, rub the surface lightly
  • Wipe clean, dry, and polish with a soft cloth or paper towel. We like microfiber cloths
  • Repeat as needed

This Is The Biggest Mistake You’re Making With Bar Keepers Friend

Can I use Bar Keepers Friend granite & stone cleaner & Polish?

Do NOT use vinegar, bleach, ammonia, any cleanser that contains orange or lemon oil, scouring powder, or liquid bathroom cleaner. All of these products can harm natural stone. Bar Keepers Friend Granite & Stone Cleaner & Polish is specially formulated for use on smooth, polished stone – including granite, marble, and quartz.

Can Bar Keepers Friend be used on natural stone?

Although Bar Keepers Friend Granite & Stone Cleaner & Polish is safe to use on most natural stone, always test it on a small inconspicuous part of your countertop before cleaning the entire surface. Clear the countertop and wipe to remove loose debris.

Can Bar Keepers Friend be used on stains?

Once you’ve mastered the ways Bar Keepers Friend can assist in cleaning, you’ll be reaching for it for almost anything. Emphasis on almost. Bar Keepers Friend, a powdered cleaning product, can tackle tough grease and stains. However, you should never use Bar Keepers Friend on these surfaces.

Does Bar Keepers Friend abrasive?

It contains less abrasive particles than the powdered formulas. Because Bar Keepers Friend contains an abrasive, powder formulas should always be used on a wet surface or made into a paste with water to prevent excessive scratches to surfaces. Simply wet the surface that is to be cleaned and sprinkle lightly with the powder.
