SCULLERY WORK
The use of cold water preserves the whiteness
of wood.
Most wooden utensils are greasy, and therefore
warm water is necessary to cleanse them, but it
must be remembered that hot water warps wood
and turns it yellow.
Soda should only be used for very greasy
chopping blocks, as it also spoils the appearance
of wood.
Wood must be rubbed as dry as possible with
a coarse cloth and stood in the open air.
Soap is necessary to remove dirt, but, unless
carefully removed by rinsing, will spoil the colour
of the wood.
If wooden utensils are put away damp, they
become mouldy.
(1) Wash with warm water.
(2) Soap the brush.
(3) Scrub the way of the grain.
(4) Rinse off the dirty soap.
(5) Wipe dry the way of the grain.
(6) Stand in a draught to dry.
For neglected wood use scrubbing paste
instead of soap.
Boil all together in an old saucepan, stirring
occasionally until thoroughly mixed.
A little more water may be added.
Keep in an earthenware jar.
