To Clean Zinc

Ingredients

Directions

  1. MRS. D. D. B., CHICAGO.

  2. Wash the zinc with soap suds and wipe it dry. Mix three spoons of clear water and one teaspoon of oil of vitriol. Take a clean cloth and rub it thoroughly with the vitriol water, being careful not to drop any on the carpet; then take clear water, wash it and wipe it dry, and you will have not only a clear but a bright zinc.
