How to Clean a Refrigerator

"What is the best thing after cleaning
to put in refrigerators to absorb the
odors? A. J. c."
In cleaning your refrigerator or ice box
use hot water and washing soda, adding
ammonia freely. Scald out the inside of
the box, and be sure that the drain pipe
is made clear by running boiling soda
water through it, then washing with
the brush that comes for this purpose.
Il your refrigerator is thus cleaned twice
a week and allowed to cool before the
food is returned to it there should be no
odor about it. If yon like you may put a
lump of charcoal on each shelf of the
ice box, as this is supposed to absorb any
foul odors.
Always arrange to clean the refrigerator
when the ice supply is almost exhausted
and several hours before fresh ice is de-
livered. Thus you will have less loss from
the melting OF ice from the warmth III

to which it has been subjected.
