POLISH FOR COFFEE BOILER

By the Use of Oxalic Acid the Utenall May Be Kept In the Best of Condition.

A shining copper hot-water boiler adds much to the appearance of a kitchen, as all housekeepers know. The boiler may be kept in a state of brilliancy by the use of a solution of oxalic acid and water. Five cents worth of the acid dissolved in a quart of warm water will last through many cleaning days. Best results are retained by applying the solution to a warm boiler. After one application of the solution the boiler should be gone over with a cloth wrung out in warm water and then polished with a dry cloth. The best part of the process is that no “elbow grease” is required. In a few minutes a dull, dingy boiler becomes bright and shining with but little effort. All copper articles not having a lacquered surface may be cleaned with this solution, and it also serves as a brass polish. Keep in a safe place, as oxalic acid is poison.
