Article: Fill a bowl with 1 cup (240 mL) of water. Add the juice from half a lemon and 1 tbsp (8 g) of baking soda. Stir to create a soaking solution. Soak your nails for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with fresh water.  Lemon is a natural stain remover and can remove yellow stains. It's often used as a whitener! Baking soda is also a stain remover. Use a high-grit buffer, such as a 220 or greater. Lightly rub the buffer over the surface of the gel until the dingy layer is gone. You should see the original color of the gel return. This will protect the manicure and help prevent it from getting dingy again. Lightly brush a thin layer of top coat over your nails, then let it completely dry.  You can use your normal top coat over the gel polish. Continue to add a layer of topcoat every few days to keep your manicure looking fresh!

Article: Before you throw the Thinx in the washing machine, make sure that you have rinsed them in the sink first. This will get all of the blood out and reduce the chances of staining your other garments. You can place multiple pairs of Thinx or other lingerie in the bag too. The delicates bag will preserve the shape and size of your Thinx in the washing machine. If you do not have a lingerie bag, you can put them inside of a pillow case and knot the ends. You can put Thinx panties in the washing machine with other Thinx, lingerie, bras, or delicate clothing. Do not put Thinx in the wash with non-delicate clothing or heavy items like towels. Detergents made for delicates include Persil Handwash, Woolite Delicates Care, or Tide Free and Gentle. Read the side of the detergent to determine how much detergent you should use for your load of laundry. Do not add any fabric softener to your load of wash. Fabric softener can damage the antimicrobial lining of your Thinx underwear. If you have a delicates or hand wash setting on your washing machine, use it. Otherwise, just choose a gentle, cold water cycle to rinse and wash your clothing. Do not use water warmer than 86 °F (30 °C) on your Thinx. Do not put Thinx in the dryer, as the heat could distort or damage the fabric. Instead, hang each pair on a drying rack or clothesline to dry overnight. The next day, you can fold each pair and put them away.

Article: Help spur a toddler's interest by reading and watching about using the potty. You can start with these well before they show signs of being ready to start potty training, in order to build a positive view of it beforehand.  There are many toddler books on the topic of using the potty, and you may be able to find one that stars one of their favorite characters—Elmo, for instance. The same holds true for toddler-focused videos. You can probably find at least one with a favorite character—Daniel Tiger, for example—using the potty. Kids' potties are available in a variety of different styles and colors. Allowing your child to choose a potty can get them more excited about using it when needed.  You can try standalone children’s potties, potty seats that fit onto a standard toilet, or both. If you do choose a potty seat, also buy a bench so the child’s feet aren’t dangling in the air—this makes evacuating the bowels and bladder easier. This may be difficult if you value your privacy while using the bathroom, but toddlers learn by mimicking what they see others doing. Let them watch as you go through the entirety of your toilet routine, explain each step, and answer their questions.  This works best if you and the child are the same gender, but it’s still worth doing even if that isn’t the case. Focus on teaching them how to actually use the potty first, then worry about teaching them to treat it as a private act. Before you begin potty training in earnest, give the toddler a chance to get used to the feeling of sitting on the potty. Place the potty where you’ll use it, read them a book if you plan to do so during the “real deal,” and go through the process of wiping up (over their clothes in this case) and washing their hands (for real in every case). Prioritize proper hygiene even during these “dry runs”—make sure they wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. This will allow you or your child to get these clothes out of the way quickly when it’s time to use the potty. Elastic shorts or pants and dresses are good options.  Avoid dressing your child in onesies, overalls, and other articles of clothing that are too difficult for your child to remove quickly. Potty training in warm weather may be a bit easier because kids have fewer layers of clothes on. But don’t wait for summer if your toddler is ready to potty train in winter. Pull-ups function similarly to diapers, but can be pulled up and down just like underpants. This lets your child become more familiar with the normal ritual when they use the restroom.  Some parents prefer using cloth pull-ups because they think disposable ones are still too much like diapers, and therefore don’t provide enough encouragement for using the potty. Keep buying diapers for nighttime, though. Most kids don’t learn to be nighttime potty trained until well after they master it for daytime.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Read books and watch kids' videos on using the potty. Let them help you choose the potty they’ll use. Demonstrate how you use the potty. Let them practice the potty sequence fully clothed. Dress your child in clothing that’s easy to remove. Switch from using diapers to pull-ups if you haven’t done so.
