Barkeeper's Friend

[callison]

Hello,

Does anyone know if Barkeeper's Friend (used for cleaning stainless steel cookware) is parrot-safe to have around the house?

Obviously I don't intend to let the parrot get into it, but I mean to use on the cookware.

Thanks!

Keep your bird in another part of the house. Open the kitchen window and turn on your exhaust fan.
When you think you have gotten rid of all the chemical smell, go outside for 10 minutes to clear your smeller then go back in the house. If you smell anything you have to ventilate more before letting your bird loose again.

I am amazed that Rambo can smell toast in the kitchen from the sunroom. I serve my elders breakfast in bed every morning. Rambo will leave the sunroom, walk through the dining room, kitchen and hallway to get to my mother's room and beg for a piece of toast.

My house is childproof which means there is nothing that my critters can get into or knock over. I used to keep candy up high so the dogs couldn't get it. Now I have to keep it in the cabinet to prevent air assaults.

Just keeping a lid on something is not enough. I put lids back on and wash the bottles before I close them behind critter proof doors. That even includes a bottle of dish soap. Bar soap is also kept under cover.
