Lord and Lady Braybrooke are taking a trip to their London townhouse so it's a good opportunity for Mrs Crocombe to ensure her kitchen is in order. There's washing, cleaning and polishing to be done. Everything must be suitably prepared for when the family and staff return to Audley End House.

And as well you should, keep a sharp eye on oneself, being judged is never an issue being found short of what is expected can be an issue. The kitchen is no place for being short yours and your families health depends on clean and safe.

Then I dry it thoroughly and next I use Tapatio Hot Sauce all over the inside of the pot. It removes absolutely EVERYTHING! All you do is dab all over let it sit in the hot sauce for around 3-5 minutes and rinse away 🙂 The copper is so beautiful after the chili does it’s job. The copper looks almost pink after.

This Victorian advices on wash up is really useful for me this days. Here, in Russia, i don't have hot water now and wash my dishes using boiled water and ladle. So it's not just a fascinating history video for me😂))

German here, but yeah, I totally thought, this was going to be about 'personal hygiene'. And yes, I was a little taken aback at the thought! Mrs. Crocombe is the kind of authority figure, you just somehow imagine, to just don't have 'bodily functions' 😎

That would really make my day. Fanny's a hard-working girl, and is absolutely lovely. She flashes her sparkling eyes and blushes just so, and Edgar can't resist her. :)
