Use a hat brush to remove dust and dirt from the surface of your hat. Gently brush the hat counterclockwise, starting at the front and working your way all around. Be sure to brush in the same direction consistently. Purchase a hat brush in a hat store, or online. Buy a small lint roller or use a piece of tape to remove dust and debris from your hat. Wrap the tape around your hand, sticky side out, and gently sweep and dab across the surface of your hat. Replace the tape frequently to ensure that you remove as much as possible. Use a dry, clean cloth to brush dried dirt, dust, or debris off your hat. Dried dirt may flake off easily as you wipe it. For stubborn dust, wet the cloth so that it is moist, but not saturated, and wipe your hat.

Fleas don’t like the scent of lemon and will avoid things with this smell. By applying a lemon spray around your house and on your pets, you can drive the fleas away, at least temporarily.  Make a lemon citrus spray by cutting 6 lemons in half and boiling them in water. Steep the lemons in the water overnight. Pour the lemon water into a clean spray bottle. Place in a spray bottle and apply to fabrics and furniture around your house. You can also spritz your animals with lemon spray.  Test inconspicuous areas first to make sure it doesn’t bleach or damage the item being sprayed. Set up several diffusers throughout your house. Choose oils such as lavender, eucalyptus, cedar wood, lemon, or peppermint. You can also look for lotions that contain these essential oils. Apply the lotion to your skin, which will repel the fleas. Most general bug sprays prevent against fleas, so apply the spray if you notice fleas in your house. One with an insect growth inhibitor will be longer lasting killing any fleas which hatch for up to 7 months. Consider the health hazards of insecticides. Always read labels carefully to avoid accidental poisoning. If it's flea season, spraying insecticide in your yard will kill off fleas and eggs.

Shampoo is designed to cleanse the hair of dirt and oils. Washing away the natural oils your scalp produces is necessary for your hair to look clean, but it can dry out your hair. That’s where conditioner comes in. Each time you shampoo, follow up by using conditioner that’s right for your hair type.  If you have very dry or damaged hair, choose a moisturizing conditioner that will restore its shine. If you have fine, light hair, choose a lighter conditioner that won’t make your hair look limp. When it comes to conditioner, you can definitely have too much of a good thing. You should only use as much as you need for your hair type and length. If you use a handful of conditioner your hair will end up looking dull and even greasy. Use just enough to lightly coat your hair and make it easy to untangle the strands.  If you have short hair, you only need a dime-sized amount of conditioner. If you have medium hair, use a quarter-sized amount. For long hair, use a silver dollar-sized amount. If your hair tends to look dull even though the products you use claim they’ll make it look shiny and sleek, you may want to switch your products. Silicones are an ingredient in commercial conditioners that do indeed make hair look shiny – at first. After awhile, though, the silicones build up in your hair and cause it to lose its shine. Look for conditioner that’s labeled “silicone-free” and you won’t have to worry about this problem. You may also want to get sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates strip hair of its natural oils very effectively – too effectively. If your hair is on the dry side, using shampoo with sulfates will dry it out even more, and no conditioner will be able to make it look healthy again. Use a sulfate-free shampoo paired with a silicon-free conditioner. This is a great choice for those with hair that tends to get dry and frizzy. Rather than rinsing the conditioner out, you spray it on or comb it through your hair and leave it in as your hair dries. If your hair is very fine or tends to get greasy easily, this may not be the best choice for you.

Whether you’re using wet or dry watercolors, you can also make different types of pink such as by adding a dab of purple and then yellow or by diluting red with water and not using white. Experiment to find the pink that’s right for you.  When you don’t mix in white, you can get a standard pink. This depends on how much you dilute the red with water before it dries. To get softer shades of pink, add yellow. This will eventually give you a peach color. A little bit of violet or blue will give you a hot pink. Add more to get a shade such as magenta.
