Growing up, I always set the table and cleaned the kitchen before and after dinner, which wasn’t too bad of a gig for all the food my dad cooked over the years. But one day, just after my folks had remodeled the kitchen, I dropped some pans and scuffed the bejesus out of our new porcelain sink. I thought my mom was going to strangle me, but luckily my dad caught wind of what I’d done first and whipped out some of this free Barkeeper’s Friend and saved both our hides!.
