Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 76, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 March 1911 — To Flush the Kitchen Sink. [ARTICLE]

To Flush the Kitchen Sink.

An excellent way to flush a kitchen sink is t j place a tin lid over the drain and weight it down with a brick or rock, drop in about three ounces of aalsoda, th»n turn on the hot water until the sink is nearly full. Then slip aside the weight and lid and let the water run. By this simple and effective method all the accumulations in the pipes will be cut loose, and the drain will be sweet and clean. This r«hould be done once a week and in hot weather the above directions should be followed with a flush of lime-water, made by taking one pint of slaked lime and two gallons of cold water. Stir until dissolved and then pour in the drain.
