The chemical properties in white vinegar break up the bonds in gasoline so that the residue can fade. You can use any type of white vinegar. Pour just enough on your hands for it to cover your palms and fingers. Quickly rub your palms together. Interlace your fingers and massage them with the white vinegar as well. Continue for at least 30 to 45 seconds, though you can rub for longer if you’d like. Once you’ve thoroughly rubbed your hands together, you can rinse the vinegar off. Put your hands under a running faucet, and wash them with soap and water. Wash them until you no longer smell the white vinegar. Then, dry your hands with a towel.

Summary: Pour white vinegar on your hands. Rub with the white vinegar for 30 to 45 seconds. Wash your hands under a faucet.


Make sure that the ground turkey is in sealed packaging so that it does not leak as it thaws. Place the ground turkey, in its packaging, in a dish or a plastic bag just in case it leaks.  Put the ground turkey on a shelf or in a drawer in your fridge away from any open foods, such as fruits and vegetables, just in case there are any leaks. Never thaw frozen ground turkey on the counter because bacteria can develop on the outer parts of the meat that warm up first. The time the turkey takes to thaw will vary based on the temperature of your refrigerator. Even 1 lb (0.45 kg) of ground turkey will take 12-24 hours to thaw. The back and bottom of the fridge generally stay the coldest. Cold air sinks to the bottom, and warm air rushes in the front of the fridge every time you open the door. The ground turkey will stay good up to 2 days after it thaws. Refreeze it within this timeframe if you will not be able to cook it all.  If you don’t want to wait until the turkey is thawed all the way, keep in mind that it is perfectly safe to cook it while it is still all or partly frozen. It will just take about 50% longer to cook this way than thawed ground turkey. You can also finish thawing the turkey in a dish of cold water or in the microwave. Keep in mind that the meat will begin to lose quality the more you thaw and refreeze it. This is due to loss of moisture every time you thaw it out.

Summary: Place the frozen ground turkey in the fridge in its package or a leak-proof dish. Leave the ground turkey in the fridge for up to a day until it thaws. Cook the ground turkey within 1-2 days after it thaws.


Know what you need to say before you even greet the customer, but be prepared to fine-tune your pitch so that it better matches the needs and wants of each individual customer who crosses your path.   "Sales pitch" can be a misleading term. There will be no single script you can use on every customer. The case you make will differ from sale to sale. Crafting a sales pitch isn't about designing the perfect script. You simply need to know how to approach each customer at the start and which conversational points to touch on while learning about the customer. Know the product well. Familiarize yourself with its benefits and limitations. In doing so, you can more readily anticipate common customer concerns and prepare appropriate responses. When you know who your customer is before you actually meet, you have the chance to do a little research. Find out what motivates him or her. Doing so can help you tailor-fit your sales pitch to that customer's unique interests. You'll want to treat your customer with care, but acknowledge your own value at the same time. Understand your worth as a person and as a salesperson. This can boost your level of confidence, to which many customers will respond favorably.  View yourself as someone who satisfies others' needs and desires. When framed with that perspective, the job of a salesperson is an important one that can be used genuinely to improve the lives of your customers. Take the time to practice your sales pitch before you meet a new customer. You can practice alone, or ask an employer, coworker, or friend to listen and provide constructive criticism. Try running through a few different scenarios. Practice pitching your product to different types of customers with different sets of concerns.

Summary: Craft your sales pitch ahead of time. Do your research. Understand your own value. Practice your pitch.


If you have or are planning to add a backsplash, account for its dimensions in your final measurement.  Measure the length of the backsplash for each section of countertop. Add the lengths together. Multiply the total length of the backsplash by 4 inches (the height of the backsplash). Divide the product by 140 to calculate the total square footage of your backsplash. Add this number to the total square footage of your countertops. Often countertops run along two perpendicular walls, forming an L-shape.  When measuring this layout, you must first verify that your corner is a 90° angle. Measure and mark 3 feet from the corner along one wall. Measure and mark 4 feet from the corner along the other wall. Measure the diagonal distance between the two points. If the distance is 5 feet, then your corner is square. Divide the counter into two sections. To determine the length of section A, measure from one end of the counter to the wall. To determine the width of section A, measure from the front edge of the counter to the wall. To determine the length of section B, measure from the opposite end of the counter to the wall. Subtract the width of section A to get the length of section B. To determine the width of section B, measure from the front edge of the counter to the wall.  Calculate the area (or square inches) of each section by multiplying the length times the width of each section (Length x Width = Area). Calculate the total square inches by adding together the areas of each section. Calculate the square footage by dividing the total square inches by 144 (Total Square Inches ➗ 144 = Total Square Footage). If your countertops are irregularly shaped, divide the countertop into square sections. These sections may overlap and or include negative or blank space. Once you have sectioned off the countertop into squares, measure the length and width of each section. For each section, multiply the length by the width.  Calculate the area (or square inches) of each section by multiplying the length times the width of each section (Length x Width = Area). Calculate the total square inches by adding together the areas of each section. Calculate the square footage by dividing the total square inches by 144 (Total Square Inches ➗ 144 = Total Square Footage).
Summary: Measure the length of the backsplash and calculate the square footage. Measure an L-shaped counter. Measure irregular countertops.
