I don't think chrome can be hurt by anything! Okay, avoid harsh abrasives (although I use Comet and the like with no ill-effect). Bleach is fine. There's a reason chrome has been popular for so long. It's really GOOD.

I've used BKF on my polished chrome fixtures (kitchen and bath) for over a decade without issue. I'm not a big bleach user so can't comment on that.

Thanks for the reassurance. I'm usually a soft scrub girl, but DH feels the need to pour bleach down the drain every so often. Of course, that urge may go away with the nasty sink, disposal and pipes the PO left us, lol.

Isn't the active ingredient in Soft Scrub bleach? Or do I just buy the "Soft Scrub with Bleach" version? I used to soak my pink Corian sink overnight in bleach every so often to keep it pink. Chrome can take it. Just ends up shinier. :)

I know you have already gotten the message that bleach and oxalic acid (BKF) are safe for chrome. Thought I would point out that the reason stainless steel is stainless is BECAUSE of the chromium that is in it. Chromium forms an oxide on the surface of itself (or on stainless steel) that protects the rest of the metal from corroding.

Fori, I don't know if all Soft Scrub has bleach, or just the bottlles that say "with Bleach."

Angie, thanks for the explanation -- good to know!

wow ,how can so many be so wrong. Bleach eats metals ,especially chrome. simple test , put something that's chrome plated in a container of bleach and see what happens lol
