You can even throw your Chacos in with other laundry that needs to go through the gentle cycle, or you can wash them separately. Be careful to check the setting of the washing machine before starting it to make sure the water is set to “cold.”  Never put leather Chacos into the washing machine. You can often wash your Chacos just in cold water without adding any detergent. The water and agitation is usually enough to dislodge dirt and grime. If you’ve just returned from a long camping trip or dusty hike, add in a small capful of laundry detergent along with your Chacos for a little extra cleaning power. Follow the instructions on the laundry detergent for the amount to add to your small load. Never use bleach or harsh chemical cleaners on your Chacos! These products will ruin your shoes and cause them to disintegrate. Either place the Chacos on a waterproof surface, hang them to dry, or set them out in the sun for a few hours to allow them to dry thoroughly before you wear them again. Test the straps by squeezing them to see if you can feel any more moisture.  Wearing Chacos that are still damp can irritate your feet. Do not put Chacos into the dryer as the heat can potentially ruin the shape of your shoes. If you don’t have time to put your Chacos through the washing machine, wear them while you shower to let the water and soap run over them. This option works best if you are out camping or don’t have access to a laundry machine, yet still need to give your Chacos a good rinse. After showering with your Chacos, allow them to air dry if you can. If you’re out camping and don’t have other footwear, try to dry them as fully as you can with a towel or other dry garment.

One-sentence summary -- Put your Chacos in the washer on the gentle cycle with cold water. Add your normal laundry detergent if your Chacos are particularly dirty. Air dry your Chacos before wearing them again. Wear your sandals in the shower for a quick mini-wash.

Q: It’s not clear whether stress can cause acne, but it can make your acne worse if you already have it! If you’re stressing out, do activities that help you relax and unwind. This may help calm your skin and make your breakouts less severe. Try activities such as:  Yoga Meditation Going for walks outside Listening to peaceful music Working on hobbies or creative projects Spending time with family, friends, or pets Although the connection between sleep and acne is not entirely clear, most doctors agree that lack of sleep can stress you out and make it harder for your body to fight infections. This will make your acne worse and is bad for your skin overall. Commit to getting about 8 hours of sleep a night to give your skin a healthy boost.  If you’re a teen, try to get 8-10 hours of sleep each night. Commit to going to bed and waking up at the same time each night so that you get into a healthy sleep routine. If you have trouble sleeping, try establishing a relaxing bedtime ritual, like meditating, reading, or taking a warm shower before bed. Turn off any bright screens at least an hour before bedtime, since the light can make it harder for your brain to get into sleep mode. Some people notice that they have more breakouts after working out. Don’t let this stop you from getting the health benefits of exercise, though! Instead, protect yourself by showering and washing your face with a gentle cleanser after every workout. This will help prevent sweat, oils, and dirt from clogging your pores and irritating your skin.  While you’re exercising, gently pat away sweat with a clean, dry towel. Don’t rub away sweat, since this could irritate your skin. Even if you can’t shower right away, change into clean, dry workout clothes immediately after your workout. This will help prevent breakouts on your body. Put on clean clothes before your workout, too, since dirty clothes can trap bacteria and other skin irritants. If you’re using a gym, wipe down any shared equipment before you use it with a disinfectant wipe. This will help get rid of oils and bacteria left behind by other people that could aggravate your skin and cause breakouts.
A: Do stress-reducing activities to prevent acne flareups. Try to get at least 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Wash up after exercising.

Article: If you’re using the same container you shampooed the hair in, dump out the soapy mixture and clean the tub. Then, fill it up with enough cool or lukewarm water to cover the hair completely. Using conditioner will prevent the hair from tangling while helping it stay soft and shiny. Fabric softener will make the hair significantly softer, but it will not address tangling, clumping, or similar issues. If you’re using conditioner, look for products labeled as ‘synthetic safe’ or something similar. Fully stretch out the synthetic hair, then set it in the solution. Press the hair down until it is fully submerged, then leave it in the water for at least 10 minutes. For damaged hair, try soaking it for 30 minutes, an hour, or even a full night. Just like when you shampooed it, move the hair up and down and from side to side, making sure every strand gets covered with conditioner or fabric softener. To avoid unnecessary damage, do not rub the hair or handle it harshly. If you’re letting the hair sit for a long time, you only need to agitate it for the first 5 to 10 minutes. When you’re ready to dry the hair, remove it from the tub. Leave any remaining conditioner or fabric softener in, that way the hair can continue to absorb it.
