When I used to work at one of the local cavern gift shops, (they had a
concession area), we used to use crushed ice and rock salt to "scrub"
the coffee pots.

Worked well.

We also washed all the windows using glass cleaner and newspaper. Kept
it from streaking and worked like a charm.

That job as a cashier and cavern tour guide paid for my first year in
college. I made $3.00 per hour.

How times have changed. <g>
