USEFUL TO KNOW Steamy windows, which one so often finds in the kitchen, especially when cooking with oil, can be prevented by this simple treatment: After cleaning the windows as usual, rub a little hard toilet soap on each pane. Then take a small clean pad and polish windows again until all traces of soap have quite disappeared. This is most effective, and the windows will keep clear until they need to be cleaned again.
