I needed to add something to an Amazon order to get free shipping and that’s what I added. Have any of you ever used it? What did you use it on and were you pleased with the results?

I have it but haven't used it yet. Curious to see what the peas say!

It’s the bomb. Seriously. Get and and you will love it. Well, as much as you can “love” a cleaning product!

I used it and it was fine but no better than other stuff. But people love it, so I need to learn more about it. Maybe I am not using it correctly or on the right things. Can't wait to hear what everyone uses it on.

I love it. It was amazing cleaning my stove. I didn’t have to scrub and scrape like I normally would have had to do.

It’s fine but I don’t find it substantially better than Barkeeper’s Friend.

It’s fine but I don’t find it substantially better than Barkeeper’s Friend. I think it’s pretty similar, but find a paste easier to use than sprinkling powder, especially on the stove where it’s not as precise as the sponge.

I've used it for quite a while. My two favorite uses are for my stovetop and for my shower glass.
Especially the shower glass. My husband prefers bar soap, and it leaves such a residue on the glass. The pink stuff and a scrub daddy make very short work of getting that glass clear and sparkling again.

You have to shake the bottle up first, and then make sure you rinse well, but I use it in our bathroom. Love it!

I stopped buying BKF in liquid because it dries out too fast and turns in a solid rock in the bottle. I swear by BKF for my stainless steel pans and for cleaning my sink.

I was underwhelmed by it. I would not purchase it again and have not used what I have.
I do love Barkeepers Friend (BKF). That stuff works! I prefer the power in the can. Gets my sink WHITE, cleans so many other things.

I used it and it was fine but no better than other stuff. This is my experience as well. DSO told me about The Pink Stuff a few months ago, so I bought some. I didn't find it any better than the Enjo marble paste or the Gumption that I normally use.

The Pink Stuff worked great for cleaning my oven.
I like Barkeeper's Friend for my kitchen sink.

Bar Keeper's Friend works magic on my fiberglass tub and surround.
We have hard, rusty water, and despite having a softener, there's an orange buildup on the white finish. BKF spray takes care of it.

I saw a TikTok demo that worked on a glass top stove. It’s on my radar.

I really like it… enough that I took it to a “Favorite Things” party.
It has a very slight berryish scent to me, but that’s only after I specifically walked in the other room and smelled it right now. I couldn’t recall any smell from using it.

We use it regularly and have done for years. If it's the same as the pink stuff from Stardrops that we get in the UK.

It's similar to Barkeepers Friend. I like both and have both!

Thank you everyone for your comments. I guess I will try it out on my oven. It desperately needs cleaned.

I ordered the jar of paste and the spray, and they will be here today. I will use the spray on my countertops in the laundry room because that is where I feed the cats. I have been using a strong cleaner, but then I have to kick the cats out of the room and close the door because I can’t have them walking on it until I rinse it with water and it dries. The pink stuff is supposed to be okay for animals so I won’t have to kick them out for too long. I put off cleaning the stove top and microwave until it arrives.

My Pink Stuff arrived tonight and I had to try it out. My intention was to remove the pans and electric burners from the stovetop and clean the worst patch. I did a very thorough cleaning a few weeks ago but there were a few spots with something that I could not get off. I put a little pink paste on a cloth and gave it a gentle scrub. It all came off with very little effort. Then I tried the backsplash section that was covered in a spray of droplets that were like wax. Again, it came right off! I ended up cleaning the whole stovetop. I am a convert!! I will be cleaning the microwave in the morning and then will be looking for something else. I bet it will be amazing on the car headlights!

The smell reminds me of grapefruit. Must be personal opinion because BKF was underwhelming to me. Pink Stuff did a much better job for me. What I really loved is that I didn’t have to scrub or use steel wool. I used paper towels for most of it and used a scrub daddy to finish it up. I have since bought the rest of the product line to use in the bathrooms. Finally found something that got rid of the hard water stains.

I had to come back to post on this stuff again. When I bought this house, I started cleaning it from top to bottom, taking things apart and devising things to reach into small spaces. Bless her heart, the lady I bought the house from was in her 90s. Very tidy, but not very good at cleaning anymore so she hired someone to do the cleaning for her. They did a pathetic job and really took advantage of the woman.
It won’t feel like my house until everything has been cleaned beyond reproach and painted inside and out. I spent a lot of time cleaning surfaces, but some just wouldn’t come clean. I even had to buy oil based paint to paint the insides of the bathroom drawers because I couldn’t get the old lady perfume smell out of them no matter what I cleaned them with. The paint sealed it in.
There are a couple of things that bother me still. There are glass doors on the tub enclosure and they were really spotted. I tried all the things I knew of from soft scrub and Bartender’s friend to harsher chemical water spot removers. Nothing got them spotless. Better, but not spotless. This morning as I was running the squeegee down the shower door I wondered about that Pink Stuff. It couldn’t be that simple, could it? I got dressed and returned with a paper towel and the jar of Pink Stuff. My intent was to try it on a 6 inch patch that still had significant water spots. I just about fell over when it removed the existing calcium residue. It needs a bit more pressure to get the spots off and I can see this is something that I am going to invest some time me effort into because with my hands, I can’t do too much at one time, but the spots came off! I will do a patch every day before I shower. Then if the squeegee doesn’t keep it spot free, I will use the Pink spray stuff after the squeegee.
I just ordered 3 more containers of the paste. I tried the spray, but it didn’t have the grit to remove the water spots. It did a good job on the microwave and I can see using the spray as a maintenance cleaner, but for really grubby things, I will use the paste.
I also tried it on the bottom inside of one of my frying pans. The pan has little intentions which are great at cooking without oil but I accidentally forgot to turn it off after cooking a chicken breast and I kind of ruined the bottom. It still works, but I couldn’t get all the black residue off. The pink stuff took it off and it now looks like a brand new pan again!
If you are on the fence about this stuff, try a jar of the cream cleaner. I don’t think you will be disappointed. The spray cleaner, eh, so so. But the cream is amazing.

Love it! I cleaned my shower glass with it a few weeks ago and man, it sparkled. My husband laughed because that is one of his jobs, but I just had to try it. Any soap scum at the bottom of the glass was just wiped away.
Will have to try it on our range. It is an induction range and really doesn't get dirty beyond an easy wipe off.

Lexica and 950nancy now that you have those shower doors sparkling get a good coat of Rain-X Shower Door Repellent on them. The water will bead right off and the squeegee will get those few remaining drops. You will have to re-apply the rain-x whenever you use any cleansers on the doors but you won’t have to scrub them as often. I use it on my doors, the walls of the shower, the sinks and faucets.

We just remodeled our master bathroom and our new shower has an untextured glass enclosure. We use the Rain-X and squeegee. The glass, so far, is remaining spotless even though we have hard water.
