Moisture of any kind can warp the weave of sisal and lead to browning of the fiber, so it is important to address spills as they happen. Blot the spot dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing, as this will only spread the moisture. Take note of whether the spill left a stain. Even a slight change in color at the time of the spill can quickly alter the color of the rug. If you notice a stain forming, blot up the spill and then treat the area quickly. Use a brush or sponge to apply a small amount of a mild fabric detergent to the area. Make sure the area isn’t oversaturated with the cleaning solution. Follow immediately by blotting the area with lukewarm water and a clean, undyed paper towel or cloth. Continue to rinse until all sudsing has stopped.  Any cleanser used on the rug should have a neutral pH, like mild dish soap. Check the label for a pH value of 7. If your stain is still there or there is an odor, use 1 part vinegar mixed with 1 part water for a cleaning solution. Use the same process for an oil-based stain, but opt for a tetra solvent instead of a mild detergent. If a sisal rug gets wet, even if it is just with water, it is important to dry the rug as quickly as possible. Use a low heat setting on a hair dryer or a large fan to help you get the rug to dry faster. Dry the carpet as soon as you can to avoid warping or additional water marking.

Q: The first thing you need to do is figure out what your peers want to purchase. This can include a wide variety of things. In order to do this, spend some time observing what your friends and peers buy, what is popular, and what people want. Consider making a list of popular items.  Clothes. Food. Games, toys, or collectables. Information like study guides. Services like tutoring or dog walking. Now that you’ve got an idea of what your peers would like to purchase, you need to figure out what they can and will buy from you. Needless to say, monetary constraints might be an issue. While some of your potential customers might have their own money saved up – from allowances, odd jobs, or other sources – many of them will probably be relying on money from their parents or financial aid if they’re in college. Knowing the resources of your potential customers will help inform your choice of goods or services (and help set your prices). You should consider a number of things when you picking and pricing your goods and services:  A low price means more potential customers. A larger customer base means higher profits at a lower margin. If you do pick a higher price point or more premium goods or services, make sure that the margin or markup is high enough to make it worth the fact that you’ll be relying on a much smaller pool of potential customers. You’ve got an idea of what people want, you know what your peers can spend, now you just need to narrow down the list of what you could sell. When doing this, you need to consider a few factors:  Going with a high volume, low margin product. This might include candy, food, or similar items. These are items that you won’t make too much money on, but that people will buy repeatedly from you, possibly several times a week. Picking a low volume, high margin product. This could include tennis shoes, collectables, or clothes. These are items you’ll only sell a few of, but you’ll make decent money selling them.

If you have the ability and resources, you can travel to a neighboring city and purchase these products there. Then, at home, you can resell them to people at school. Offering a service, like tutoring or something similar, that will gain you reliable and repeat customers. Most people today know about the success story of Facebook. Facebook represents possibly the most successful business that was started at a school. Consider embracing this type of innovation in order to create a successful business.  Don’t limit yourself to just selling products out of your backpack. Consider selling information, like notes, test-tips, or similar services. Consider creating a webpage that offers a novel service if you’re in a school that is large enough. Now that you’ve identified your market and you know what you want to sell, you need to make sure it’s actually legal and permissible to do so before you do anything else.   If you’re offering a good or service on a college campus, you should contact the appropriate authority on campus to see if you can exchange goods or services on campus. Consider advertising at school, but exchanging money for goods or services elsewhere. This might enable you to get around any rules or regulations your college or school might have. Make sure you don’t need a business license to operate. In many places, you can do a certain amount of business (under a certain dollar figure) without actually having to apply for a business license. However, if your business is successful and you want to expand, you might need to apply for a license.
A: Find out what your peers want. Know the resources of your potential customers. Think about pricing in relation to your potential customers. Narrow down the list of potential products or services.

Article: You've probably heard the saying, "quality not quantity." That adage applies when you're trying to reduce household waste. Buying higher quality items, including dishes, pans, clothing, toys, and most everything else, will reduce your waste overall because the items will last longer. You won't need to replace them as often. For instance, when you can, spring for the higher quality pot. It's more expensive, but it will last many more years. When purchasing items like food, choose bigger packages over smaller to help reduce trash from packaging. For instance, a large box of cereal creates less waste than several smaller boxes of cereal that add up to the same amount.  If you prefer individual servings, portion the food out into reusable containers when you get home. For instance, if you like small portions of pretzels, buy a big bag and then use small sealed containers to create individual portions. Also, be sure to look for packaging that can be recycled, so you aren't contributing to the landfill. Today's society has bought into excessive packaging. Some items have two or three layers of packaging. If you see an item that seems to have an excessive amount of packaging, try looking for a different brand to see if it uses less. Bulk bins are becoming more popular, particularly in health food stores. With these bins, you simply scoop out the food (such as rice, flour, sugar, etc.) into a bag, which usually produces less waste than standard packaging. You can also bring reusable containers from home to make the purchase even greener. Make sure to get a cashier to write the weight of the container on it so that you don't pay for the container.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Buy quality items that last. Buy bigger packages of food. Look for products with less packaging. Buy from the bulk bins.
