In my many trips to the thrift store, I didn’t bother with any sort of metal, because I had no idea how to identify what kind (besides the obvious colors), and how to clean it properly.

NO MORE! I can now buy whimsical thrifted metal, thanks to Barkeeper’s Friend!

Barkeeper’s Friend (the powder) can be used myriad ways, but my favorite is to de-gunk my sink with as little effort as possible. Now that I have this other use under my belt, nothing can stop me from polishing up stainless steel like a pro!
