Remarks. —Oil of sassafras, 1/2 to 1 oz., may be used for flavoring, if desired, in this amount of any soaps.
A lady editress of one of the "Household Departments" of an agricultural paper makes it as follows, using less soda, and no ammonia nor turpentine, still it will be found excellent for the purposes named
10. Soft Soap, for Removing Grease from Floors, Shelves, etc. —Sal soda, 3/4 lb.; bar soap, 1 lb.; cut into small pieces; put them into a stone jar on the back of the stove, or range, when not very hot, and pour over it a pailful of cold water; stir it once in a while, and after some hours, when thoroughly dissolved, put it away to cool. It forms a sort of jelly, and is excellent to remove grease on floors or shelves.
Remarks. —The author will say good for cleaning all wood-work, and for general washing too.
