Shopper reveals $8 miracle buy from Woolworths cleaned her oven after FIVE years of trying

Aussie homeowner Elle shared on a popular Facebook group how she managed to clean five years worth of grime from her oven using an $8 buy she picked up from her local Woolies.

Woolworths’ Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser & Polish has long been considered a cult-favourite.

It was also described as a ‘miracle’ product by many shoppers and cleaning fans alike for removing grease and hard stains on a range of surfaces such as sinks, drains, shower screens, metal barstools, and even car headlights.

In her Facebook post, Elle has shared a series of incredible before and after photos of her oven’s transformation, saying that she’d spent half a decade trying to clean the surface mirror with no success.

“For five years, I couldn’t figure out how to clean my oven door,” she wrote in the caption.

“Yesterday, I got Bar Keepers Friend and scrubbed, ta-da!”

“I tried bicarbonate soda, hot water and dishwashing liquid, vinegar, a scourer, nothing else worked for me, unfortunately,” she admitted, then added: “I wasn’t keen on anything leaving any harsh smells, and this doesn’t have a scent, it worked perfectly.”

Her Facebook post blew up, and hundreds of users were amazed by her results.

“Looks amazing!” said one, while another added, “I’m gonna need to pick up some of that.”

“I will give that a go tomorrow!” wrote a third user.

One fellow Bar Keepers Friend fan agreed with Elle and wrote that she also ‘swears by’ the miracle product, saying: “It’s so good!”


Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser & Polish is available at some Woolworths online stores for $8 at 340g but you can get it even cheaper at some Coles online stores at the moment, for only $6.40.

Please Note: Hi everyone! Maddie here. I just wanted to pop in a note saying that we have been informed by the wonderful Alan F. that unfortunately this product is NOT available Australia-wide. Alan F. lives in Pakenham, Victoria and went to his local Woolworths store (in the Plaza) to discover that the staff actually had no idea what he was talking about! So please do call ahead of your shop to check your local Woolies or Coles has it in store, or check online! Just to save yourself some time. Many thanks, and we are so sorry to any one who has been inconvenienced by this!

I’ve read a lot of nice and not so nice comments in the forum about this article.
The writer said she didn’t like to use products with strong smells.
My oven door is similar but I’m not the first owner/renter of my house. I have cleaned the oven door to almost new but would like the first product mentioned for the shower doors that soap scum builds up on.
There’s only an IGA in my small country NSW town, as far as I know, “Bars Keepers Friend Cleanser & Polish or Oz Kleen Oven Cleaner are not lines they carry.
 
I’ve already posted this in another section but it fits better here. Use your bits of left over aluminium foil to clean an oven door. Easily lifts drips, non scratch and throw away. Use with your cleaner of choice, I use an Ajax cream like Gumption. Faster in a warm oven but not necessary.
