Powdered Brewery Wash and Barkeeper's Friend

I have never seen PBW or BKF locally. If you have, please let me know. :)

I've read that PBW is Sodium Percarbonate (OxyClean). I actually use Zellers' brand of oxyclean as it doesn't have the blue dots of detergent (or whatever it is) in it. That costs about $7 a container and I'm wondering how that compares to the price of PBW.

BKF, really good at cleaning stainless steel, so I hear. Does anyone here have experience with it?

BKF is good at cleaning up stainless.

You can get it a Cusina Moderna (near Premier!). I think there is another one in Bedford. Also, Home Hardware carries it too (probably a little cheaper).

Thanks for the tip on BKF! I work right across the street from the Cusina Moderna in Bedford.

Just FYI,

BKF at Cusina Moderna costs $6; At Home Hardware it's $3.

Yesterday I found 2Kg tubs of sodium percarbonate at Walmart, their no name brand, $8.
