It's a bathroom cleaning product. I looked its contents up online after seeing it recommended here, and it apparently does not contain bleach.

Barkeeper's Friend is a non-abrasive cleaning powder. it is oxalic acid in powder form and will clean almost anything. It can get stubborn stains out of your gel coat and rust off stainless steel.

Anyone know if "Sno Bowl" is safe to use to clean the head?

Get a bottle of Whink from the hardware store and squirt it directly on the stain. the stain will disappear before your eyes then rinse with water.

I second Jentine's suggestion of Whink. It is designed to remove rust stains from fabric. Works great on fiberglass also. Available in grocery, hardware and good marine supply stores.

"Rust Stain Remover in the "brown bottle" has been the #1 pure liquid rust stain remover since 1947!!!
This convenient liquid formula quickly and easily removes rust stains from white sinks and white toilets, as well as colorfast fabric and carpets"
