Hand- Cleaning
Paste
Cleaning pastes are composed of soap and grit, either with or without some
free alkali. Any soap may be used, but a white soap is preferred. Castile
soap does not make as firm a paste as soap made from animal fats, and the
latter also lather better. For grit, anything may be used, from powdered
pumice to fine sand.
A good paste may be
made by dissolving soap in the least possible quantity of hot water, and as
it cools and sets stirring in the grit. A good formula is:
White
soap
. 2 ½ pounds
Fine sand
1 pound
Water
.. 5
½ pints
