TO CLEAN ICE-CUBE TRAYS

Those of us who possess refrigerators found it, in the past, quite impossible to keep the ice trays and frames inside them, free from brown marks, states a South African writer. Now wc enjoy purified water, we can—but to get rid of those old marks! It is simple to wash the trays themselves —with steel wool and scouring powder, and "elbow grease”—but the cross-section! I found by boiling them all in a big pot, with a little soda, they came perfectly clean, like new. If you don’t have a pot big enough to get them all immersed, you can boil them first with half or as much as possible, under the water, then turn them up-side-down, and boil their other halves. If the lid doesn’t go on, you will, of course, require to keep the switch to “high.”
