BAR KEEPER'S FRIEND PRO TIP: let it be known that I love BKF and use it regularly. BUT!!!! You MUST wear gloves if working with it for more than 2-3 minutes or it will destroy the skin of your hands. I also highly recommend wearing a professional grade 3M respirator with the proper filters, opening a window, and pointing the fan at the window for max air circulation if using it to clean a shower or tub for more than 2 minutes. (3M P100 Respirator Cartridge/Filter 60923, 1 Pair, Helps Protect Against Organic Vapors, Acid Gases, and Particulates) Why? My first time using BFK Soft Cleanser, I spent 1 hour deep cleaning my shower stall without any PPE, thinking it was safe, and the result was catastrophic. I had a serious lung illness due inhaling the chemical fumes, bordering on pnuemonia, for 6 full weeks immediately afterwards, beginning the very next day. I was not back to 100% for over 6 months. I was coughing up so much phlegm 24/7, literally every 20 minutes, sometimes to the point of vomiting / being unable to breathe - it was INSANE. I had to go to the doctor's 3 different times to ensure I wasn't developing pneumonia. Also, the skin on both hands completely peeled off 2-3 layers over the course of the following 5 days, but that was nothing compared to the impact on my lungs. It was worse than having COVID. LESSON LEARNED! it's an incredible cleaning product that I still use regularly with gloves, air flow ventilation, and a respirator and I highly recommend it to others, but I made a big mistake not protecting myself thw first time and seriously paid the price. I've have actual pneumonia in the past and COVID another time, but I've never been as sick as I was from exposure to the chemicals in this product. BE SAFE and enjoy the beautifully clean results!

Love barkeepers! You're so right though, gloves are an absolute must.
