RE: barkeepers friend - 5/1/2005 1:57:38 PM    flasherr Posts: 538 Joined: 5/7/2004 From: Abilene Texas Status: offline I also collect ACL and I use bk on all of them. I like to get a 5 gallon bucket sprinkle some in the bucket add water. Then I sit over the bucket and I sprinkle bk on bottle and use a tooth brush and scrub it down. Try a test area first to make sure paint is not soft. i have had no problems with the labels coming off. i sprinkle some inside the bottle get my bottle brush after it. keep in mind that you sprinkle over bucket of water so excess goes in bucket. some times i will soak my bottles for awhile. if you have a real tough stain i dip bottle in water shake off water then i add bk on bottle until i get kind of like a paste and leave it on the bottle then come back and clean it up later. If you have a long bottle like a qt or 16 0z and you cant get to the bottom go to the store get a toilet brush cut one end of it straigten out and be sure to bend the cut end over so as not to scratch bottle. hope this helps Brian _____________________________ Know anyone around Abilene Texas that digs?
