Removes Grease Quickly From,
Pots and Pans

Cleaning the pots and pans and kettles
is usually most disagreeable piece OF
work, but like everything else there is
an easier way to do it, if one knows
how. AS soon as the food is removed,
pour in water and dissolve in it Gold
Dust in the proportion of one table
spoonful to gallon of water. Leave
to soak while washing the dishes, then
pour off the water and fill with clean
suds made in the same way. If par
ticles of food still adhere to the inside
Of the utensils, use potrings for remoy-
ing them.
