In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Put your pipe the bottom of a Tupperware container and fill it up with enough hot water to cover the top. Drop in 2-3 denture tablets and let it sit and soak for a half hour. The fizzing will remove a lot of resin, and the formula is designed to remove stains and residue. Other alternate home cleaning solutions include:  Salt and vinegar. Baking soda and vinegar. Sand and water. Marketed specifically to smokers, products like Simple Green and Formula 420 are made to clean the resins in glass pipes. They are, however, a bit more expensive than the simple DIY solutions, and many people do not find them any more effective. That said, they eliminate the need for shaking or messes, as they often remove the resin through simple soaking. Freezing causes the resin to harden and dry up, making it easier to dislodge. Freeze the pipe for 30 minutes to an hour, then quickly use a needle or similarly sharp, thin object to knock off the resin. It will not take long for the resin to warm up and become gummy again, so you need to work quickly. A quick rinse and a soak in some isopropyl, done once a week, takes only 5 minutes. But it will keep you from having to resort to deep cleanings or overnight soakings, and keep your piece shiny and sparkling. Some stains will not come out if they soak into the glass, but this only happens if you neglect cleaning for several months or years in a row. Take the time now to clean it off and your task will be much easier in the future.
Summary: Try using denture cleaning tablets. Purchase specialty cleaning solutions. Freeze the pipe to remove hard buildups. Clean your pipe regularly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your mask will have 2 layers to make it more effective. It's best to use different fabric for each layer so it's easy to recognize which side is which. Look for fabrics that have a fun print so your mask looks cheerful. For best results, choose a thicker fabric for your outer layer and a thinner cotton fabric for the liner.  Based on recent research, the best material for homemade masks is the sterile wrap used to protect surgical instruments. It may block up to 99% of germs and particulates.  For the outer side, you might try a non-stretch fabric like denim, twill, canvas, duck-cloth, or quilting fabric. For the liner, you might use cotton or cotton-blend, as long as it's non-stretch. You might not have fabric at home and may not want to rush out to a craft store. Fortunately, you can use an old T-shirt to make your mask. Just boil the shirt in a pot of water for 10 minutes to sterilize and shrink it. Then, let it air-dry. For best results, pick a shirt like Hanes Heavyweight 100% preshrunk cotton T-shirts. However, you can use your old T-shirts if that’s all you have. Why not turn an old pillowcase into a medical mask? While a pillowcase isn’t an ideal option, the fabric provides some protection against germs. Pull out an old pillowcase if it's the only fabric you have. A T-shirt will typically provide more protection than a pillowcase, so make that your first choice. Wearing a face mask when you go out could get annoying, but a fun print might make it more fun. Additionally, accidentally wearing your mask inside out might expose you to germs, so having 2 different fabrics provides added protection. Use a patterned fabric on at least 1 side of your mask.
Summary: Pick a heavyweight, tight-woven fabric for both layers of the mask. Use a preshrunk 100% cotton T-shirt as an easy option. Cut up a pillowcase if you don’t have a T-shirt. Pair different colors or patterns so it’s easy to identify the front.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The rule of thumb here is if you have not used any item in a year or more, it goes! Add it to one of the other boxes, or toss it into the garbage. Donate the items you have not used items in 1-2 years. Chances are you don't need them. Donate them to the less fortunate or perhaps a family member who is starting out or moving away to college. This principle also applies to furniture, not just dishes and clothes. Call a charity of your choice and ask them to pick them up. Most of the time they will. Sort through and price items for your garage sale. This will save you time when you have the sale. Try to arrange the garage sale at an early date, so you will not be tempted to return the items to your house. Bring the filled garbage bags to the curb on the next pick-up day.
Summary:
Sort through the keep box, aiming to put more into the charity or sale boxes. Bring the box for charity to your car.
