Article: Regular brushing will remove loose hairs, dirt, and external parasites. It will also help spread natural oils produced by your cat’s skin throughout its fur. This will increase the overall shininess and sleekness of your cat’s coat.  Brushing your cat frequently will also reduce the amount of fur that it swallows when grooming itself, thus reducing the number of hairballs it produces. Begin grooming your cat at a young age so that it will get accustomed to it.  Professional cat-grooming services may also be available in your area. Prices for these services can vary widely. Long-haired varieties of cats will need more frequent brushing than short-haired varieties. Long-haired cats will need to be brushed once every few days, while short-haired cats may only need grooming once a week. Other experts suggest brushing long-haired cats for at least 15 minutes per day. To brush your cat well, you will need a quality general brush, a steel comb, and a rubber or bristle brush. All of these should be versions designed specifically for cats. Optionally, a fine chamois or washcloth can be used to wipe your cat after brushing. This will remove any remaining hairs and improve the shine of your cat’s coat. Starting with the general brush, stroke your cat’s fur softly, working from head to tail. Next, use the steel comb the same way. This will help remove any dirt and debris. Finally, use a bristle or rubber brush, which will remove any loose hairs.  If your cat’s fur has any tangles, carefully work those out before brushing its whole coat. If you wish, wipe your cat with a chamois or washcloth after brushing to maximize the shine of its coat.  Make sure to be gentle on your cat’s sensitive areas, such as its belly. To brush the tail of a long-haired cat, make a part down the middle and brush fur to either side.

Problem: Article: About 30 percent of unwanted heat comes from windows. Close your window coverings to prevent direct sunlight from heating up the room. If you don’t already have blinds or curtains in the room, invest in some, especially if you have any south or west-facing windows. By using window coverings, you can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 20 degrees.  Try to keep the window coverings closed from morning until late afternoon when the sun is at its peak. If heat is a persistent problem in the room, consider purchasing thermal insulated blackout curtains. Any device that is powered on is currently contributing to the heat in the room. Unplug or turn off everything you’re not using. Computers and televisions, in particular, generate a lot of heat. Incandescent lightbulbs are big heat-generators, too. If possible, turn the lights off in the room.  It's not always feasible to turn out all the lights. At the very least, dim them as much as you can.  Consider replacing your incandescent lights with compact fluorescent lamps, or better yet, light-emitting diodes which generate far less heat. CFLs and LEDs are more environmentally-friendly, as well. Piles of clothing and other kinds of clutter absorb heat and keep it trapped in the room. The less clutter you have in the room, the more available space there is for the heat to disperse and the faster it will cool down. A lot of clutter can also restrict airflow, making it feel even hotter in the room. Toss any piles of clothing you have on the floor into your closet and shut the door behind them. Do a quick survey of the remaining clutter and quickly eliminate what you can. If it’s hotter inside the room than it is outside, the walls have probably absorbed a lot of heat from sunlight throughout the day. Remove this trapped heat and push it outdoors by opening the windows in the room. Close off any spaces in the house that you currently aren’t using, too. This will help to cool down the room you’re in more quickly. Once it cools off a bit, be sure to close the windows.
Summary: Close your blinds/curtains. Turn off all unnecessary heat-producing devices, appliances, and lights. Pick up the clutter. Open a window and close off other rooms in the house.

On a small plate, combine 2 parts of antibacterial dish soap with 1 part of olive oil. Swirl the two together with a spoon until they’re fully mixed.  The antibacterial soap will kill any germs or bacteria on the brushes, while the olive oil will help break down stubborn makeup so the brushes rinse clean. Don’t use a paper plate for mixing the cleaner. The oil will seep through paper. Take the brushes that you plan to clean and run them under lukewarm water. Run your fingers over the bristles to ensure that they’re all completely wet. Be careful to hold the brushes with the bristles facing down when you wet them. If water gets inside the brushes’ ferrell, the part of the brushes just below the bristles that holds them to the handle, it may loosen the glue so bristles start falling out. Coat all of the brushes’ bristles with the soap mixture. Next, run the brushes back and forth over the palm of your hand to work the cleaner in. Keep moving the brushes over your hand until the suds are no longer colored with makeup. For extremely dirty makeup brushes, you may need to wipe off the suds and dip the brushes in the cleaner a second time. Once the soapy residue is no longer colored, run the brushes under lukewarm water until no suds come out of the bristles. Gently reshape the wet bristles with your fingers, and lay them flat to air dry. If possible, lay your brushes flat on the edge of a table or counter so the bristles hang over the edge. That will keep any moisture from seeping into the ferrule.
