No more Barkeepers Friend - what to do?!

[loobs2]

Are there any other devotees out there of the wonder cleaning product called Barkeepers Friend? I used it for years till a few months back, when it completely disappeared from the shelves of the stores I used to find it in! (Waitrose and Lakeland.) For a while Wilkinsons had something called Brite Power which was an inferior version of the Real Thing, but now that has disappeared too! BF was the only product that ever got my white plastic kitchen sink properly clean; now I'm stuck. Can anyone recommend a just as good alternative? Thanks...

It did disappear for a while, but I've just picked some up from Waitrose and the labelling has slightly changed - whether this has anything to do with it?

They had it yesterday in the waitrose near me. May be worth a look again?

Got mine in B and M recently, last month maybe. Packaging had changed though.

[Dontletthemgetyoudown]

Just had a look they sell it on Amazon.

I hope it is still around, it is a true wonder product. I did the grotty door seals and hinges of my dishwasher with it this morning.

Just phoned my local branch of Waitrose and they confirmed they are not stocking it anymore. Going on to Amazon now Dontletthemgetyoudown - thanks

Lakeland had it a fortnight ago. New packaging though

I was expecting to see lots of bicarb tips!

Dust bicarb all around the sink, throw vinegar on it, leave it for a bit, rinse. Give it a go if you have the ingredients to hand and see if it works for you. I use this now having previously always used BKF, however my sink is steel so I can't vouch for the efficacy on plastic myself.

[WhoKnowsWhereTheBonnetsGo]

I do use bicarb/vinegar down the plughole, but hate the smell.

Sainsbury's usually have it.

WhoKnows Ah, I usually follow with Zoflora, although I know other people just take some some lemon/lemon rinds, when rinsing with hot water it lemon freshens everything up

[Icelollycraving]

Shiny Sinks is similar. I also use Cif cream,one of my fave products.

[WhoKnowsWhereTheBonnetsGo]

I don't like the smell of Zoflora either, I like unperfumed products, but fresh lemon is nice.

I have white plastic sink and just use ordinary washing powder! I sprinkle some on when sink is damp and leave for a few mins or overnight. Then quick scrub with plastic scourer sponge and rinse off. Gleaming sink!

Or I do my hand washing in the sink and leave to soak for a few mins. Same result.
