I do wonder how many lawsuits were placed aginst the companies that sold
that stuff???

If you wanted non abrasive stuff, you bought Bon Ami. I remember Babbo
long before Comet.


People in this group should understand abrasives and their scale.Â* An
abrasive that cannot scratch steel may scratch porcelain. I suspect
cleanser manufacturers have cleaned up their act so their products do
not abrade porcelain as maybe previous products did.

Soft Scrub was made just for that reason. We used it on the porcelain.
Now we have a SS sink and Comet makes it shine well, but I only do it
maybe once every week or two. Plain soap on a 3M sponge thing does well.

Yup Bon Ami was the original "soft scrub". I also agree on the soap
and 3m pad. That does wonders for all sorts of stuff. Barkeepers
Friend is probably the best stainless cleaner but that is really only
when you really have a mess. I use it on the SS gas grill.
