She had bought some shampoo soap and meant to wash it now; she had considered putting a bottle of peroxide into the rinsing water. " Well?" she implied silently. "That darn bank!" he quavered. "They've had my account for over ten years ten years. Well, it seems they've got some autocratic rule that you have to keep over five hundred dollars there or they won't carry you.
Strong soapsuds should be mixed with considerable rinsing water to escape excessive content of alkali. Run the water in hoe-ditches, along the rows of vegetables, hoeing thoroughly as soon as the land hoes well, changing the runs of water so that the soil does not become compacted but is kept friable and lively. Draining a Wet Spot.
His words amounted to the statement that while the speaker and the chief had been collecting sticks for a fire to roast a salmon they had speared with a sharp, forked stick, they had seen the Doctor busily rinsing the sand in a shallow pool of the rocks, well out, where the stream ran fast.
You can get a basin of water, the sapolio, a flannel cloth, and a white cotton one." They wet the cake of soap a little and rubbed the flannel on it and scrubbed the mantel thoroughly, and then the hearth, rinsing them off and wiping them dry afterward.

The captain was below all the afternoon, and we had something nearer to Saturnalia than anything we had yet seen; for the mate came into the scuppers, with a couple of boys to scrub him, and got into a contest with them in heaving water. By unplugging the holes, we let the soapsuds off the decks, and in a short time had a new supply of clear rain water, in which we had a grand rinsing.

In the evening he could be seen squatted on the bank rinsing that wrapper in the creek with great care, then spreading it solemnly on a bush to dry. "I slapped him on the back and shouted, 'We shall have rivets! He scrambled to his feet exclaiming, 'No! Rivets! as though he couldn't believe his ears. Then in a low voice, 'You... eh? I don't know why we behaved like lunatics.
Expressed in practical terms the object is humble enough: a little trough with two taps built into a recess in a wall; a place for washing hands and rinsing glasses, as you see the Dominican brothers doing it all day, for I am speaking of the Lavabo by Giovanni della Robbia in the Sacristy of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
