Mum is left speechless when an $8 supermarket buy leaves her shower screen sparkling clean in seconds – after spending THREE YEARS trying to get it perfect
- An Australian mum has managed to clean her shower screen using an $8 item
- Tamika previously tried a range of products for three years but nothing worked
- After using Bar Keepers Friend powder and said the results nearly made her cry
- The handy product can be bought from both Woolworths and Coles stores
- Others have previously used the product to clean drains, sinks and stovetops
An Australian mum has praised an $8 supermarket ‘polish’ that left her shower screen sparkling clean in a matter of minutes.
Tamika, from Brisbane, previously tried everything including toothpaste and dishwashing liquid to banish soap scum, but nothing seemed to work until she discovered Bar Keepers Friend Cleaning Polish.
Posting to a popular cleaning Facebook group, Tamika said she ‘nearly cried’ after the popular cleaning polish left the glass screens streak-free and clean without heavy scrubbing.
The product can be bought from both Woolworths and Coles supermarkets across Australia.
An Australian mum previously tried everything from toothpaste to dishwashing liquid to clean her shower screen, but nothing seemed to work until she used Bar Keepers Friend
‘Over the last three years I have tried gumption, methylated spirits, Windex, toothpaste, dishwashing liquid, magic erasers, boiling water, mould remover, bleach [and] major elbow grease with minimal result,’ she wrote.
‘Late last night was scrolling and [saw] someone post about Bar Keepers Friend.’
Tamika said whenever she tried to wash the glass it would appear to be clean until it dried, but after using the product the screen became ‘spotless’.
To clean the shower screen, Tamika sprinkled the powder directly onto a wet scourer pad and applied to it the glass in a circular motion.

She left the product on for a couple minutes before wiping it off using a sponge and water followed by a hand towel.
Tamika said she completed this application twice to ensure she didn’t miss any areas.
Since publishing the post on Facebook, other mums were delighted and said they would give it a go too.
‘I think I’m excited to go and clean,’ one woman said.
‘It’s a brilliant product, would recommend Bar Keepers Friend. Great on stainless steel,’ another added.
A third said: ‘Bar Keepers Friend is really spectacular! I use it everywhere in the house.’
‘I’ve tried it before and it didn’t work but you’ve inspired me to have another go,’ another added.
Previously the same product has also been used to transform other areas around the house, including bathroom drains, sinks and stovetops.
