Uses Of Concentrated Lye In the WorI,
Of the Kitchen.

Of the Kitchen.
A floor can be kept as clean as if
scrubbed by hopping it with hot
water made rather strong with lye.
Drain the mop before using, but do
not wipe the floor, as it will dry
quickly, and the hands should not
be put into the water. Use a small
tub half full of hot lye water. Con-
centrated I've is a household necessi-
ty. 1t has no equal for cleaning iron
and steel cooking utensils. lmmerse
them in a strong solution for sew
eral hours, then scrape thoroughly
and scour. If food should become
burned in granite ware until it ad-
heres to the pan fill the dish with
strong I've water, let stand for twen-
ty-four hours, and if it does not
clean easily then repeat the process.
1t is not necessary to remove stove
plates from under granite ware
when cooking, so, With the aid of
I've, they can be kept bright and
clean till worn out.
