Cleaning the Sink

 Cleaning the Sink 

 Every sink should be thoroughly cleaned after using it. A fine, grained sand soap is good for all sinks. For porcelain and enameled sinks, kerosene and whiting are especially good. The kerosene cuts the grease and the whiting supplies the friction. The sink should then be thoroughly rinsed with boiling water.
