Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Test poultice and cleaner before using. Avoid acidic cleaners and strong chemicals. Hire a professional to seal your marble regularly.

Answer: Pick a hidden or inconspicuous spot on the marble and do a test clean. This is important, as some products may etch or discolor marble. In the end, it’s better to perform a test than to ruin your entire marble floor or countertop.  Wait at least 24 hours after testing. This will give you enough time to see if the product has harmed the marble. Consider testing poultice or other cleaning products underneath the granite where it overhangs a cabinet. There are a wide variety of household products that could damage your marble simply by making contact. As a result, you need to avoid these products. They include:  Vinegar Ammonia Hydrogen peroxide Lemon, orange, or other citrus cleaners Cleaners that are acidic While sealing your marble won’t protect it completely from staining, it will decrease the likelihood of some staining. As a result, you should have your Carrara marble sealed when installed and resealed regularly.  You may need to reseal your marble after three to five years. Polished Carrara marble may not need to be sealed. Honed Carrara marble should always be sealed. If it is not sealed, it will absorb any liquids that are spilled on it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use protective breathing tools. Wipe away any visible mold growth. Dry your books immediately. Store in a dry area.

Answer: Any time you work with mold or mildew, you want to make sure you are not breathing in any spores. Before you begin, place a mask over your nose and mouth. If you are prone to watery eyes, you may also want to wear a pair of protective glasses. If you have asthma or any type of respiratory issues, do not attempt mold clean-up yourself. Mold can aggravate breathing conditions quickly, and could even prove fatal. Locate any visible sources of mold in your book and gently wipe them away using cloth dampened with alcohol or peroxide. Although alcohol may not remove all of the staining caused by mold or mildew, it will kill the spores and should eliminate the bulk of the smell. If your books contain a lot of mold or mildew, you may need to take them to a professional for cleaning. Make sure you dry your books after you have finished cleaning them. You can use an air dry method, or you can dry them with a hair dryer. The method you choose will depend on the speed you require and the age of the books. Newer books will not be drastically degraded by being dried with a hair dryer, while old pages may be damaged by high heat. To prevent additional mold growth, make sure you store your books in a dry area. If your books are old or particularly prone to damage, you may want to store them permanently in airtight containers, such as large tupperware bins.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start putting it out early. Sprinkle water over the fire. Stir the embers. Test the heat with your hand. Remove the ashes.

Answer: You’re responsible for putting out any campfire that you start, and the process often takes longer than you think it will. To prevent the possibility of leaving any smoldering ashes behind, plan ahead to give yourself enough time to do the job right. Set aside at least 20 minutes to put out the fire, so you can be certain to kill it completely. You should never leave a fire unattended, so you need to put yours out when you go to sleep at night. Make sure to give yourself about a half hour to put out the fire before you plan to go to bed. While you may be tempted to throw an entire bucket of water on the flames to put them out quickly, that’s not the best way to extinguish a campfire. Instead, start slowly sprinkling water over the fire, using only as much as you need to put out the fire’s embers. Pouring water on your fire is a bad idea because it will flood the fire pit, making it unusable when you or someone else wants to light a fire later. As you sprinkle water over the fire, you want to ensure that it reaches as much of the embers as possible. To accomplish this, use a shovel or stick to stir the ashes and embers as you douse them with water. Make sure to bring up embers from the bottom of the pile so you don’t leave any smouldering underneath. You’ll know that you’re done sprinkling water and stirring the embers when you no longer see steam or hear hissing sounds. To be certain that the fire is out, you’ll want to make sure that it's no longer giving off heat. Place your hand, palm-side up, over the ashes. If you don’t feel any heat, the fire is out. If you still feel any heat, the fire isn’t out and you shouldn’t leave. Continue to add water and stir the ashes until you no longer feel any heat. Repeat the hand test as many times as needed to be certain that the fire is cold. You’re better off safe than sorry. Once the fire is out and cold, you should remove the ashes from the fire pit or ring so the next camper doesn’t have to deal with getting rid of them. Use your shovel or hand to scoop up the ashes and place them in a plastic bag for disposal. As you walk away from your campsite, start spreading the ashes around on the ground to dispose of them.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write a to-do list to set goals. Prioritize different goals with set deadlines. Avoid multitasking to focus on one goal at a time. Get a buddy to keep you honest.

Answer:
Make a record of all the tasks you need to accomplish. The list should include both short-term tasks you need to finish daily and weekly, as well as long-term goals that may take months or even years to accomplish. Seeing it written down will help you plan out the various actions needed to meet all your goals. Put this list on paper. Even if you use your phone for all of your other lists, from groceries to birthday wishes, don’t put this list on there. The act of writing out your tasks is key to thinking through how to finish them. Use a planner to schedule your time. Write short-term tasks in daily or weekly lists that include deadlines for each item. Set deadlines for long-term goals by listing them in monthly entries.  Include everything you need to get done in your planner. Say that on Friday your final biology project is due. Set aside at least three nights to finish it. You’ve also got to go to the pharmacy and pick up a new toothbrush and vitamins before you leave for vacation. Do this on Thursday night. You’re also taking the SAT in a month, so spend at least three hours this week practicing vocab. Try using a strategy like the Eisenhower Box for prioritizing your tasks in an efficient way. Basically, you categorize all you have to do into four categories: tasks that must be done immediately, tasks that can be done later (or rescheduled), tasks that can be delegated to someone else and tasks that aren't important and can be eliminated. The strength of this strategy is that it works well with the tasks you must complete in a given day, but also on longer timescales, like weeks or months. Multitasking makes you feel like you’re accomplishing a lot, but it actually prevents you from finishing tasks quickly and effectively. Keep your attention on one goal at a time, and give it your all. This will also help you avoid getting overwhelmed by your busy schedule. It’s hard to stay away from distractions and do your work on time when you’re doing it alone. Luckily (or unluckily), everyone struggles with procrastination. Ask a friend or family member if they’d be willing to partner up with you to check in on each other’s work habits and accomplishments. You can plan fun outings with your buddy to reward both of you when you meet your goals. If you keep procrastinating, cancel these events as a little bit of punishment.
