SCRUB BREAD
BOX

Bread crumbs are all right in
their place. but the bread box is
no place for them. An invisible
crumb which has been left there
too long may be the cause Of
mouldy bread and an unpleasant
odor. To keep the bread box
clean and sweet smelling, it should
be washed at least once a week.
Apply hot soapsuds inside and
outside. then rinse in clear, warm
water, and dry thoroughly before
replacing the supply of bread.
