HINTS FOR THE HOME
After washing the oilcloth on the larder shelves, polish with a good white cream. This will keep the shelves clean longer, and will also help to preserve the oilcloth.
When packing bottles of medicine, etc., cut the fingers from old gloves and tie over the corks. This will prevent the risk of having your clothes spoiled.
Remove a blockage in the lavatory pipe safely and simply by pouring half a pint of kerosene into the pan, leaving for an hour, and then flushing away.
For burnt saucepans, leave them standing overnight with water in which some common salt has been dissolved. Boil up next day, and they will be easily cleaned with steel wool or ordinary pot-scraper.
