Check to see if it has a tag with washing instructions. Toys with any types of stiffeners should be surface washed only. Mohair, wool, rayon plush, and alpaca fur are not to be washed in a machine at all. And if the toy is too old and fragile, too big, or too firmly stuffed, you'll have to hand wash it.  Sequins or other glued-on, glittery items will probably not survive a wash, either. If it's filled with small foam balls, as is the case with Beanie Babies, rather than batting or stuffing, it's not suitable for machine washing. Double check for any technology. Look for any music or voice boxes, or any other electronics that aren't meant for exposure to water. Make sure you don't lose Teddy's arm in the wash! Look for any tears or loose parts that need to be stitched. Remove clothing or any other parts that can be separated from the toy. Use scissors to cut any threads or strings that might come undone or cause further damage in the wash. Put the toy inside a mesh laundry bag for an extra layer of protection. This will help prevent the toy from snagging or getting torn up in the wash. If you don't have one handy, a pillowcase secured with safety pins will work. In case something does fall off, the pillowcase or mesh bag will catch it before it gets lost in the machine's drain.

Article: To prevent the buildup of grime, dust your furniture regularly. When doing routine dusting in your home, take a rag and dust off any debris built up on antique furniture. If you're using dusting sprays, go for a mild spray or no spray at all on antiques. UV light is very damaging to antiques. Therefore, it's a bad idea to allow your antiques to be exposed to sunlight.  Do not leave antiques outside, especially in shaded areas. Do not store antiques near a window, where they may be exposed to sunlight from outdoors. Antique furniture is affected by moisture in the air. Changes in humidity can cause wood to shrink and crack. Keep a humidifier in the room where you store your antiques. This will keep the humidity stable, minimizing the negative affects of changing in moisture in the air. Antique furniture can be very valuable. Therefore, it's a bad idea to allow it to be exposed to pests. Certain types of bugs, like beetles, as well as rats and mice will chew through antique furniture. In the event you notice a pest infestation in your home, remove antique furniture right away. Store the furniture elsewhere until the infestation is resolved.  Check for any loose or damaged bits before moving antique furniture. You should not carry furniture in areas that are wobbly or dislodged. Carry chairs by the seat rails. Carry tables by the apron or legs. Always drag furniture, especially large furniture, across the floor instead of dragging it.

Problem: Article: Everyone is different, especially in their teenage years. There's really no "way" to enjoy being a teenager except for the "way" you make on your own! Some teens prefer to spend their teenage years with friends, while others prefer to study and work; some prefer to be quiet wallflowers, while others are loud and don't care if they stand out. Saying that there's any one way to enjoy your teenage years is wrong—this article is only a guideline and doesn't need to be followed to the letter!  What is enjoyable for you may not be for someone else, and that is OK. Some things are commonly enjoyed by teens, but not by all. Turning 13 does not mean suddenly you wake up and everything has changed. Being a teenager is not necessarily any easier or more difficult than any other life stage. Although adolescence is a time of great change, this does not necessarily mean it will be the most difficult time of your life. If you get wound up with concerns that this new life stage will be fraught with ever-present drama, the truth is that this is just another stage of your life which you will get through as much as you did toddlerhood long ago.  Remember the media presents teenagers inaccurately. Teens and their lives are often very narrowly portrayed on TV, movies, and literature. Be careful on basing your assumptions on what it is like to be an adolescent based on the Disney channel, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central,  MTV, or "High School Musical", as well as some of the older shows such as "The Brady Bunch" or "Father's Knows Best."These are typically fictional stories that while may dramatize aspects of secondary education, may not be your reality. Likewise, be careful of comparing yourself or others to actors in teenage dramas. Often these actors are in their 20s, sometimes even 30s,  atypically model-like, spectacularly talented, and otherwise not necessarily be like your reality.  The homemade videos on YouTube that feature actual teenagers are far more realistic and accurate than the movies and TV.  Many teen movies, especially the older ones, have become nostalgia films for adults (e.g. "The Breakfast Club") and many shows on Disney and Nickelodeon are designed for children. There are 6 years between 13 and 19, and there are a lot of differences between them. Middle school is different than high school, which is different than beginning the adult work world, college, or trade school. The awkward, lanky 13 year old may be a confident military-bound individual at 18.
Summary: Understand that there's no one way to "be a teen" and no set-in-stone way to enjoy your teenager years. Avoid media-based expectations, good or bad. Realize that the teen years are not all alike.
