Household notes on cleaning and cooking tips
Cold rainwater and soap remove machine grease from abrasion. Do not block a hot stove as it darkens, and a hard sponge softens in milk. Dampen broom in hot soap suds to reduce dust. Ammonia can restore color to silk stained by fruit. Place water in oven while baking potatoes to speed cooking. A splash of boiling water keeps an omelet tender as it thickens. Soak dishware with eggs in cold water after use. Tar removes fast with kerosene. One homemaker painted pantry shelves white and enameled them. Nuts can substitute meat but not after a hearty meal. Brushing jelly mold insides with egg white helps release the jelly.
