HOW TO CARE FOR FIXTURES
Waste Pipes Should Be Flushed Thor

Grease and Accumulation of
Miscellaneous Dirt

Prepared by the United States Depart

Many plumbers bills would be avoid
ed, the health of the family better
safeguarded, and the appearance of
the plumbing improved if the following
suggestions, made by the home eco
nomics office of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, were followed
by the housewife:
Stoppage in pipes is often due to
hardened grease or to an accumula-
ton of hair and lint. The waste pipes
should be flushed thoroughly after US
ing, so that the waste is carried out
of the house pipes and the trap left
full of clean water. A trap in a
waste pipe is a curved section SO ar
ranged that water remains in it and
prevents the passage of sewer gas into
the house If the water left in the
trap is not clean. decomposition may
take place and odors and gases may
come from the impurities in the water
itself. Precautions should be taken to
prevent oil and grease from going
down the waste pipe from the kitchen
sink, because being lighter than water
they tend to remain floating on the
surface of the water In the trap.
Use of Cleansing Mixtures.
Occasionally more than cold, or even
hot, water is necessary to clear out
the accumulated grease, lint, miscel-
laneous dirt, and bits of refuse. Wash

ing soda is ordinarily strong enough
for bathroom pipes, and may be used
in the proportion of one part liquid
soda (made by boiling one pound of
washing soda and one quart of water
in an old kettle) to twelve parts hot
water or one pound of dry soda thor
oughly dissolved in three gallons of
boiling water. The drain pipe from
the kitchen sink may sometimes need
a stronger cleanser, even if it is thor
oughly cleaned and flushed, after each
dishwashing, and for this purpose
caustic potash is efficacious, but must
be used carefully-the hands must be
protected and the potash must not be
allowed to touch porcelain or porce-
lain-lined sinks, because it may de-
stroy the glaze. One pound of crystals
dissolved in two quarts of water
should be poured down the drain.
About half an hour later the pipe
should be flushed with clear water.
Caustic soda, although sometimes rec
commended, is not desirable, because it
Is likely to unite with the grease and
form a hard soap, that is difficult to
remove from the pipes.
Fine scourers may be used on all
fixtures. For porcelain and enameled-
iron fixtures kerosene and whiting are
especially good the kerosene cuts the
grease and the whiting supplies the
abrasion. Some of the commercial
oyo fer on
eled and porcelain fixtures contain
scoucers so gritty that they scratch
the surface. and thus make the work
of cleaning gradually harder. Nothing
coarser than whiting should be al
lowed
Should Be Cleaned Daily.
Bathroom fixtures should be cleaned
daily. Tubs and bowls should be
scrubbed with fine scourer or with
water containing a little kerosene,
rinsed with clear hot water and wiped
dry. The stains made by water con-
tanning an excess of iron may be re-
moved from porcelain or porcelain
lined tubs and bowls with 0xalic-acid
solution, which is a poison and must
be entirely washed off. The overflow
pipes should be flushed occasionally
with hot water, for dirt and grease are
likely TO collect and decompose there.
The water-closet should be kept
scrupulously clean. A daily cleaning
is necessary with hot soapsuds or soda
solution, and a long-haired brush, and
flushed again Then the seat the
cover. the chain, and the handle
should be washed and wiped. All
cloths and utensils used in cleaning
the bathroom should be scalded and
dried, preferably in the open air.
