You guys are talking about making a paste out of Barkeepers Friend and some water. I found some liquid Barkeepers Friend at Lowes yesterday. I am wondering if it might be a little milder than the powder. Anyone know?
I cleaned a couple of really dirty bottles with it and it seems to work good.
I guess I need to try it on an ACL and see what happens.

The orange color on the right side of the bottle is some stain in a crack in the bottle I found after I got the surface stain off.

I have some CLR..... Do you think I can soak out that stain with that stuff?

OK, now that I realize this is an ACL cleaning thread. I concur.... the Barkeepers friend and a rag got this one nice and clean. I cleaned the inside with the copper wire and BKF. The bottle brush wouldn't touch the inside nasty but the copper wire got it clean. Thanks for the advice everyone!

ORIGINAL: jblaylock

Yes, I was talking about the Red/White & RWB acl Pepsi bottles.  I have several that have good labels (not faded) but are dirty and I would love to clean them.  I'll get some and try it out.

I'm from Kentucky, I don't hear of many other Blaylocks...especially with it being spelled the same.  Some are spelled Blalocks.  I know of some Blaylocks in Georgia too.


WOW!I used to do alot of work for "BUDDY" Blaylock from Atlanta GA.JAMIE
