Problem: Article: Existing grout should be cleaned and dried before resealing. Make sure grout lines aren't cracked, chipped, or otherwise compromised before treating with a sealant. If they are, touch up grout and wait the requisite 48 to 72 hours before sealing. It is important to tape off these other surfaces to prevent unintentional staining. Coat the grout lines, making sure you cover the grout joints completely. If the sealer gets on the tile, take a damp cloth and wipe the sealer off. Apply the second coat and wait another 5 to 15 minutes. Use a clean, dry color appropriate towel. Use water and a white nylon pad or any clean cloth to scrub residue from dried grout sealant on tiles. Most sealers are dry to walk on in 2-5 hours. Keep anything that can stain the grout away for 72 hours. A full sealer cure is usually achieved in 24 to 48 hours. Test the effectiveness of the grout sealant by flicking a few drops of water onto the grout line. An effective grout sealant will cause the water to puddle on top of the grout. If the grout absorbs the water, reapply sealer. Try this at various locations on the grout lines.
Summary: Allow new grout to cure for 48 to 72 hours before sealing. Tape off baseboards and other nearby surfaces. Apply sealer using a foam paint brush, paint pad or a small roller. Wait 5 to 15 minutes to allow the first coat to soak into the grout. Start wiping the sealer off after 5 minutes. Allow the grout sealer to cure. Test the grout sealant.

Problem: Article: After waking up and getting dressed, encourage your partner to do the same.  Dress appropriately for whatever is next in your morning routine.  If you're headed to the office, you should dress in work attire.  If you're going to bike or jog a few miles before breakfast, change into your workout clothes. Determine if you'll shower in the night or in the morning? Account for the time it will take for everyone to clean up and get ready in the mornings before getting dressed. If your kids are old enough, they should wake with their alarm clocks and dress themselves.  If they are too young to get dressed by themselves, wake them up and dress them yourself.  If your kids are messy eaters, you should wait to dress them until after breakfast. You and your family can all brush your teeth together before breakfast.  Show your children how to brush their teeth properly, with the brush angled at 45 degrees toward the gums.  Remind your children to brush their molars and tongue, too. Tell your children, “Brushing your teeth keeps your breath fresh.” Breakfast is the meal that begins the day.  Eating a healthy breakfast has been linked to improved memory, lower risk for diabetes and better overall health.  Try to find healthy breakfast options that require little to no preparation.  For instance, sliced apples, strawberries, and bananas with two slices of whole grain toast is a delicious breakfast option.  A green smoothie chock full of kale, blueberries, and spinach is also a good option. Talk to your family about what sorts of healthy breakfast foods they like.  Obtain these foods for your morning routine. If you have younger kids, you could take five minutes to snuggle with each child in bed just before they wake up.  Talk to them about their dreams that night.  With older kids, you could converse with them during breakfast about what they have planned that day. Your kids should be at the bus stop at least five minutes before it arrives.  This ensures they will not miss it.  Help them remember to grab their book bags and other essentials from the family's predesignated organizational point. If you wish, you could walk your children to the bus.  Younger kids might benefit from having you walk to the bus stop with them until they know where it is.  Older kids might chafe at being “chaperoned” by you while waiting at the bus stop with their friends.  Use your judgment about your child's needs and character to determine if you should or should not walk to the bus stop with your child.
Summary: Get dressed. Get your kids dressed. Brush your teeth. Consume breakfast. Schedule some time to connect with your child. Send your kids out to meet the bus.

Problem: Article: Use newspaper to cover the table or whatever surface you're planning to make the paper on. The process can get messy, especially with children. This will make cleaning up easier. Once the surface is covered, place a paper towel on top of the newspaper. The paper towel will be the base layer of the papyrus. Use ½ cup (120 mL) of glue. Any type of liquid white glue will work. Then, pour ½ cup (120 mL) of water in the bowl. Mix the contents with a spoon until a runny consistency is created. Pour 1 cup (240 mL) each glue and water if you plan on making 2 sheets of paper. You will need to use 2 brown paper lunch bags. Tear the bags into 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) wide strips, but the strips should be long. Tear the strips as long as you want the paper to be. You can use your hands to tear the strips, or cut them with scissors.  You should use 4 brown paper bags if you plan to make 2 sheets of paper. Tearing the strips is better than cutting them because the ripped edges will fuse together better and give you a smoother surface. Dip each strip individually. Try to keep the strips as flat as possible when dipping them. Make sure the strips are fully soaked with the mixture. Run the strips between your index and middle fingers to remove any excess glue. Like with papier mâché, you want the strips to be saturated, but not dripping. After you dip each strip in the mixture, lay them next to each other on top of the paper towel. You should lay them out vertically. The strips should be slightly overlapping. Make sure that the top and bottom edges are aligned. You don't want them to be off-set or crooked. Once the first half off the strips have been laid out vertically, begin laying out the second half of the strips. Lay the strips out horizontally and on top of the vertical ones. For a more authentic look, you can weave the horizontal strips over and under the vertical ones, just like making a basket or woven rug. Press the paper with your hands once all of the strips have been laid out. Smooth out any excess air or glue bubbles. Continue doing this until the paper is smooth and flat. Start in the middle of the paper and work your way outward towards the edges. Move your hands apart horizontally first, then vertically. Keep the paper on top of the paper towel and newspaper while it dries. It should take about 8 hours to dry. Once it has dried, carefully peel the paper off of the newspaper.  The paper towel will likely be stuck to the back of your papyrus, which is fine; it is in the back. If you are pressed for time, you can speed the process up with a hairdryer.
Summary: Cover the table surface with newspaper and paper towels. Mix glue and water into a bowl. Tear paper bags into strips. Dip the strips into the glue and water mixture. Lay the strips out vertically. Lay the second half of the strips out. Smooth out the paper. Allow the paper to dry.
