Default Anybody use Elco Stainless Steel Cleaner?

I was looking for Bar Keeper's Friend, but all they had at Sears was Elco SS Cleaner...

Is this the a proper substitute for BKF? I'm using it to clean kegs.

*I don't own this image*

Never tried it, but Home Depot has Bar Keepers Friend in the powdered form.

I wouldn't use it for inside kegs as it has chemicals that stay on the metal to prevent fingerprints, which you don't want in your beer.

+1 for Bar Keepers Friend. Check your local supermarket, some carry it too.

Check the ingrediends, it probably contains petroleum. If it does I would not use it. My local grocery store carries BKF

Bottle says "contains mineral oil and mineral spirits". mineral oil = petroleum?
