Bar Keepers Friend was originally produced in 1882 as a cleaning agent in powder form. This formulation is produced today. It was discovered by chemist George William Hoffman in Indianapolis, Indiana. The product was originally sold to a bar in Indianapolis, and Hoffman confirmed in a patent application that the name had been in use since January 1887. The formula contains oxalic acid, which is found in rhubarb, as the main ingredient.
The Bar Keepers Friend logo represents the swinging door of the sedan. According to SerVaas Laboratories president Paul SerVaas, although some people complained during the Prohibition, "the name has never changed. It has been a Bar Keeper Friend since 1882."
In the 1950s, this product became the basis of a line of cleaning products made by Servaas Laboratories based in Indianapolis, which began producing and carrying products under the Bar Keepers Friend brand name. Additional products manufactured and marketed under the Bar Keepers Friend brand name include liquid, cream, and spray cleaner. SerVaas Laboratories has 40 employees in May 2011, and 54 in April 2016.

Production
Bar Keepers Friend products are mass-produced in manufacturing environments that have significant automation in the process. Powdered and canned products (native) are formulated in two-ton separate batches during the production process. In September 2016, canned powder products were produced at a rate of about 60,000 cans per day, packaged in 12, 15, and 21 ounces cans.
Active ingredients
According to the material safety data sheet 2015, the materials are feldspar, linear sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (DDBSA), and oxalic acid. Unlike abrasive cleaning powders such as Comet and Ajax, Bar Keepers Friend uses oxalic acid as its main active ingredient. Similar abrasive cleaning products, Zud Heavy Duty Cleanser, also contain oxalic acid. Prolonged use and extended skin contact may cause irritation, peeling and contact dermatitis, which is avoided by gloves. This product can also be an eye irritant.
Performance and usage
In 1994, Consumer Reports found Bar Keepers Friend to work on par with Mr. Clean to remove baked soil, tea stains, and other pot stains, and it's better to remove rust. While recommending Bar Keepers Friend for various household cleaning uses, author Heather Solos warns that it should not be used to clean the original silver, lead, or marble.
This product serves to make stainless steel resistant to oxidation through passivation process, and can remove rust on stainless steel. This product can also remove small scratches from stainless steel, silver, and plate.
Use of Friends Keepers Bar not listed on the label includes removing hard water stains from glass and windows and removing brown or yellow stains caused by sunblock containing avobenzone. This product can also clean teak, and serves to whiten per oxalic acid in the product, which helps in the cleaning process.
