It couldn’t be simpler to use Bar Keepers Friend to remove stains on your kitchen sink, especially if you’re looking to clean your home fast. All you need to do is put on a pair of gloves, dampen your sink, sprinkle Bar Keepers Friend into your sink and use a microfibre cloth to wipe clean.
I discovered Bar Keepers Friend a couple of years ago and it’s my absolute go-to when it comes to making my ceramic sink sparkle,’ says Heather Young, Editor-In-Chief at Ideal Home.
‘Our ceramic sink gets stained and dirty so quickly in my busy family home, where the sink is in constant use, but a quick going over with Bar Keepers Friend cleans it up quickly and easily. I am always recommending it to friends and family.’

Bar Keepers Friend is a mild abrasive cleaner, which means it’s great at breaking down stains and tough grime, making it easier to wipe clean.
‘This method works well because Bar Keepers Friend contains mild abrasives and oxalic acid, which break down tough grime without damaging most sink surfaces. It’s a good choice for restoring shine and removing stubborn marks that regular cleaners can’t tackle,’ says Henrique Conceicao, Area Manager at Total Clean.
‘Just avoid using it on natural stone or delicate materials, as the abrasives might cause scratches. Overall, it’s a reliable, affordable way to keep sinks looking clean and fresh.’
