all the grease, it would necessitate the provision of
a new floor, the old one not being strong enough to
stand the strain of the cleansing process. It was
found, however, that her fears were groundless, and
the floor was brought into a satisfactory state by
means of scraping and chipping the grease away.
In all kitchens where cooking is carried on on an extensive
scale the walls get permeated with grease
from the steam and require frequent cleansing.
Where possible persuasion is used to get a smooth
impervious painted surface for the walls, which
can easily be washed down.
The cleanliness of the sculleries, sinks, and outside premises,
of the utensils used in cooking, and the
disposal of offal and refuse in covered receptacles
prior to its frequent removal, is specially insisted
upon.
