THE RIGHT TOOLS MAKE WASHING-UP EASIER
There will be far fewer family quarrels about washing-up time if you follow a few little hints for making this inevitable tusk both easier and pleasanter. The washing of cooking utensils should be done between times oi just befare the meal is dished up, so that the sink is clear for the used crockery after dinner. A great deal of washing-up ean be saved by using as inany flre-proof glass dishes as possible; stews, pies, puddings, entrees, and fish can be cooked and served in them. The right tools are necessary for easy washing-up. A long-handled cnop saves tyie hands from coming into contaet with soda water; a small, stiff brush saves wear and tear on aluminium I pans; a few soap flakes make crockery 1 shine; a little ammonia iu the rinsing water makes glass sparkle; with the aid of a pieee of steel wool and a little soap all burnt marlcs can quickly be removed from saueepans and roasting tins. A luoip of soda in hot water is the quickest method of removing grease, but it should never be used for aluminium, pewter, liand-painted china or wooden utensils. For these, use lemon juice, and a little salt for bad stains.
