Neither metal bottles nor any metal utensils or plates with a gilded edge should be placed in it. In order not to smell unpleasant from the various dishes, orange peels are placed in it and baked for a few minutes at 180 degrees.

• Windows: They will clean perfectly if a few drops of vinegar are put in the water.Then scrub them with a guideria. Especially in the city the dust on the windows is layered daily and even hourly. It won't stick so easily if, while cleaning them, you add a few drops of glycerine to the water.
