Q: Lay paper towel, or a white fabric towel, flat on the spill. Don’t press down or you might push the spill into the felt. Replace with dry towels multiple times until the majority of the spill is absorbed. The most important thing is to clean the spill up as soon as it happens to reduce the time it has to soak into the felt and the table board beneath it. If you spilled something besides water, gently dab at the spot with the damp towel. Rinse the towel multiple times to pull up as much of the spill as possible. Don’t apply too much pressure as you dab at the spot.  Never scrub at the spot because this will mess up the felt. After you have blotted the stain away with water, you can dab it with another dry towel to help it dry out faster, then allow it to air dry. If blotting the stain with water does not sufficiently remove it, mix a solution of vinegar and water at a ratio of 50/50. Dip a cloth in the solution and dab at the stain again. The vinegar will break the stains chemical bonds better than water. Rinse the cloth and dab repeatedly as needed. Vinegar is a less harsh solution than chemical cleaning products so it is safer for felt tables. If blotting the stain with a damp cloth does not completely remove the effects of the spill, use a cleaning product. Only use a cleaner that says it is specifically for pool table felt. Carpet cleaners and other stain removers can damage the felt worse than the spill did.  Only use cleaners as a last resort if the spill is bad and can’t be blotted away. Seek help from the manufacturer or a professional pool table dealer to determine which product you should use.
A: Place a dry, white towel on the spill immediately. Blot the spill with a white towel dampened with water. Use vinegar to lift stains. Use a pool table felt cleaner.

Article: Usually, this is a table or kitchen countertop. Make sure that the surface is flat and not tilted so that your soda machine sits upright. It will also be helpful to set up your soda machine near a sink so that you can fill up your bottle with water later. Your soda machine comes with a carbonator. This is a metal canister that says “SodaStream CO2” on it. Remove the plastic seal from the top of the canister and throw it away. Then, unscrew the plastic cap. Always read the manual for your specific soda machine before you start setting it up. The back cover of your soda machine will pop off easily. Pull it from the hole that is on the back of your machine while you hold the rest of the machine steady with your other hand. Place the cover to the side. Place the carbonator canister into the hold where the cover was on your soda machine. Depending on the model of your SodaStream, this will either be the very back of your machine or the top. Turn the carbonator about 3 times in a clockwise position until it is screwed in all the way. Make sure it is held in place tightly and doesn’t wiggle around. If you have a smaller model of the SodaStream, you will not need to screw your canister in. Put the cover back onto your SodaStream to lock the carbonator in place. Make sure the cover is on securely before you start using your machine.  No matter what model of SodaStream you have, make sure your cover clicks into place when you put it back on. Your SodaStream may have a CO2 meter that will warn you when your carbonator is running low. If it does, reset the meter each time you put in a new canister by holding down the “reset” button for 5 seconds.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Set the soda machine on a sturdy surface, like a countertop or table. Remove the plastic seal and unscrew the cap from the carbonator. Take off the back cover from your soda machine. Insert the carbonator into the soda machine. Screw the top of the canister into the top of your soda machine. Replace the back cover on your soda machine.

Problem: Article: Asparagus, spinach and scallions are best in the spring. Many vegetables, like tomatoes, squash and Swiss chard are good in the summer. Root vegetables like acorn or butternut squash bring warmth to any autumn table. And if you live in a warm climate, you can explore options of cultivating your own vegetable gardens to get the most selection based on your tastes. Burying vegetables in butter, preparing them with animal fat or dousing them in oil adds many extra calories without adding nutritional value. Try steaming or roasting with a little bit of olive oil for nutritious and delicious preparations. Even though too much fat is not beneficial, adding some plant-based fats like olive or walnut oil to your deep greens (like leafy greens, broccoli and Brussels sprouts) actually helps your body absorb more of their nutrients. Freezing vegetables in season and storing them for future use is an easy way to get the flavor of the harvest all year round. For quick dishes, choose frozen, pre-chopped organic vegetables from your grocery store.
Summary: Buy fresh vegetables in season. Choose healthy cooking methods when you prepare vegetables. Don't forget frozen as an option.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Avoid using a regular brush on your tangles, since this can tear your hair and cause damage. Always work through tangles with a wide-toothed comb, especially if you’re detangling wet hair. Start below the knot and gently work your way up until it is completely loosened. Go slowly and be patient. Vigorous combing can make tangles even worse.  When combing tangled hair, always start at the ends and work your way up toward the roots. If you deal with tangles frequently, consider getting a detangling brush. They are specifically designed to painlessly remove knots from your hair. Detangling brushes are great for detangling dry hair, but wide-toothed combs are almost always the best option for detangling wet hair. If you have long or tangle-prone hair, don’t go all day without brushing it at all. Use a soft bristled brush 2 to 3 times throughout the day to keep your hair tangle-free. Be gentle when you brush your hair to minimize damage.  Always brush your hair right before you take a shower and immediately before you go to bed.  The size and shape of the brush are up to you, as long as the bristles are soft. In general, the longer your hair is, the larger the brush should be. Detanglers are very effective products made specifically to help you remove tangles. Most of them are meant to be sprayed onto wet hair, making it much easier to get a wide-toothed comb through knotted wet locks. Most of these products offer other benefits, as well, such as hydrating the hair and making it look shiny.  Different detanglers work better for different hair types. If you have straight hair, a detangling spray may be ideal for you. If you have wavy or curly hair, a detangling cream might be a better bet. Look for detangler formulas that include keratin. Also check the ingredients for moisturizing botanicals like aloe vera, sunflower seed oil, and grapefruit extract. Alcohol is extremely drying to the hair. If you’re prone to tangles, alcohol can make it even worse. Check the ingredients on all of your current hair products. Get rid of any that contain alcohol. Replace them with natural hair products that are alcohol and sulfate free. Most holding sprays and gels contain alcohol, so pay close attention to the labels when selecting these types of styling products.

SUMMARY: Detangle your hair with a wide-toothed comb. Use a soft bristled brush 2 to 3 times per day. Get a good detangling product. Avoid all hair products containing alcohol.
