If it is convenient, by all means have a row of brass hooks over the sink, on which to hang the following articles, viz: A small three-cornered piece of zinc, each corner differing in shape, to use in cleaning corners of pans, etc. Have a hole in one corner to hang by. A small stiff bristled brush for cleaning vegetables, with a screw-eye in one end to hang by. A wire dish for holding laundry and toilet soap, and another for sapolio and a small piece of flannel . A perforated dish into which to empty coffee grounds, etc., to prevent stoppage of the sink drain. A wire soap shaker to hold scraps of soap. An ordinary granite water dipper. A medium size sauce pan also utilized for dipping. Do not omit a wire dish cloth. A long wire with bristles on one end for cleaning bottles. A medium size scrubbing brush with pointed ends for cleaning the sink with Dutch Cleanser. A granite dish pan should hang or be placed near the sink, also a granite basin in which to wash vegetables. A sink should have boiling water poured in it each day, and if signs of stoppage occur, throw in a handful of copperas and usually the water poured in during the day will dissolve the copperas slowly and clean the pipes. On a shelf near the sink it is well to keep a can of Dutch Cleanser, a package of borax, if the water is “hard,” and a package of pearline or similar powder.
