Text reading "IT ALL BEGAN WITH Rhubarb" with two yellow diamond shapes on either side.

The story of Bar Keeper's Friend starts in 1882 with a simple discovery. Chemist George William Hoffman found that rhubarb left his tarnished cookware sparkling clean. The secret was oxalic acid, the same compound that's been breaking down rust stains, tarnish, mineral buildup, and stubborn stains ever since.
