In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It’s safe to loosen crayon wax with an iron whether your car’s upholstery is leather or fabric. Cut open a brown paper lunch bag and lay it flat over the area where the melted crayon is. Put the iron on its lowest heat setting and press it onto the paper bag. You should start to see the wax become absorbed by the paper bag. Do this for a minute or two, or until the wax looks and feels more like a liquid.  You can also do this with paper towels instead of paper bags.  You can also melt the wax with a hair dryer or a fabric steamer.  If you don’t have access to an outlet and it’s hot outside, park your car in the sun. Roll your window down and let the sun beam in for 30 minutes or an hour. This may help liquify the wax.  Before touching it, test the temperature of the crayon wax by holding the back of your hand about 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from it. If it hurts at all to hold your hand this close to the wax, don’t touch it. You can also loosen the wax from your fabric or leather seats by freezing it. Put a handful of ice cubes in a plastic sandwich bag and set the bag on the melted wax for a couple of minutes. This will make it brittle and easier to break off. Spray a generous amount of WD-40 onto the area where the melted crayon is. Then, leave it alone for a few minutes. WD-40 can effectively loosen the crayon wax when applied to car seats that are upholstered in either leather or fabric.
Summary: Melt the crayon wax onto a paper bag with an iron. Place a bag of ice on the wax residue. Spray WD-40 on the crayon wax.

Problem: Article: Each state has different requirements for becoming a real estate agent or broker. Before you begin undergoing the necessary training, make sure you meet the basic requirements. In Washington, in order to be a real estate agent you must:  Be at least 18 years of age Have at least a high school diploma or the equivalent, such as a GED You will have to engage in nearly two years of education to get your real estate license in Washington. Use that time to your advantage to gain experience in the field. While not directly related to obtaining your license, certain experiences are invaluable to your success as an agent.  Try to get an internship or office job in a real estate firm. Even an administrative position that seems only tangentially related to buying and selling houses can teach you hard work and give you a sense of what the industry is like. Not to mention, if you make a good impression on someone in the industry you could snag a job after you get your license. Ask an experienced real estate agent if you can shadow them for a day or week to see what the industry is like just to make sure this career path is really for you. In Washington, there are specific educational requirements you must complete before taking the real estate exam.  Make sure the courses you enroll in are approved by the Washington State Department of Licensing. If you're unsure if a class is approved, give the Department of Licensing a call during office hours just to be sure. You don't want to invest time and money in a course that won't be accepted when you apply to take the exam. A list of approved curriculum is found on the Washington Department of Licensing website, as well as some approved schools.  Classes are available online, through colleges such as Kaplan, and in-person at universities and community colleges. Find a route that works for you and enroll. Fees vary from program to program, but tuition can cost as much as $300. Be prepared to spend some money during the process of obtaining your license. You must complete 90 total hours of coursework within a 2-year time frame. These courses are extensive and demanding, so be prepared to commit.  Your 90 hours include a 60-hour course in real estate fundamentals. This course is an overview of the real estate trade. You will learn about various real estate firms and what they do in communities. You will learn about policies like contract laws, fair housing laws, property ownership rights, and listing agreements. There's also an extensive overview of the buying and selling process, and a good deal of basic real estate vocabulary you must commit to memory.  The additional 30 hours are comprised of a course in real estate practices. Here, you will learn about basic business skills and procedures in the real estate world. You will learn how to evaluate, price, and market property as well as a variety of negotiation and sales techniques. You will also learn about the closing process and how to conduct real estate math. The state exam is hard. Knowing the information and having completed the necessary coursework does not guarantee you will pass. The structure of the questions and specific vocabulary can throw even the most well-researched test taker. Exam prep, whether through software or a test prep class, can help you get a passing score on the real estate exam.  Free practice exams are available online, but are not subject to as rigorous review as paid courses and prep work. Online universities offer test prep courses for a variety of state real estate exams, including Washington. Self-guided exam prep guides are available for purchase online, which include information on the format of the test, information you'll need to know, and a variety of practice exams.  You can purchase exam prep books, either on Amazon or from a local bookstore, that help with real estate test prep. However, make sure you get the most recent edition as real estate exams are subject to change. Going to a used bookstore is not the best option if you're going the book route, as you're likely to find a dated exam guide.
