Article: Hard water stains will likely look like a chalky white residue on the surface of your counter. There are several cleaners specifically made for removing these kinds of marks. Spray your choice of these solutions on the stain, let it sit for about 1-2 minutes, and then rinse and dry the area. There are a few natural solutions that may be able to stand in for chemical cleaners. Spray lemon juice on the stain and leave it on for ten minutes, then rinse and dry the area. Also, try wiping down the spot with a mixture of half water and half distilled white vinegar. Rinse and dry the countertop after you clean with this solution. Pour a small circle of liquid mild abrasive cleaner on a damp sponge. Wipe the damaged area with the cleaner in small circular motions, going forward and backward as well as side to side. Clean the entire area, and then thoroughly rinse the spot down with warm water. Dry it with a soft cloth, and check if the damage has been removed. This should take care of most stains and blotches as well.  You may need to repeat this process a few times before the blotch or scratch is removed. Apply more pressure with the sponge the second and third times. For a natural abrasive cleaner, mix distilled white vinegar with baking soda and clean in the same way you would with a chemical cleaner. Add enough baking soda so that the mixture is more of a paste than a liquid. Do not, however, use this solution as an alternative to cleaning your counters with soap and water. DuPont recommends using Micro-Mesh Soft Touch Pad kits on Corian countertops. These kits include several different “grit” options that allow you to slowly move from low-grit to higher-grit options, depending on the severity of the scratch.   Be sure the area is thoroughly washed before you begin sanding. Leave the surface wet during sanding. Repeat the cleaning process once you’re finished sanding. Start with the peach-colored 1500 AO material. Next, try the blue 4000 AO pad, and finally the gray 12000 AO option. Lightly rub the pad over the scratch in a single-line motion, rather than a circle. Change your direction about 90° periodically, so that you’re making a box with your sanding motions. Rinse and dry your pad if too much residue builds up. Avoid pressing too deeply, as this may cause an indentation or deeper scratch.

Problem: Article: As part of getting your brace, your doctor or physiotherapist will tell you exactly how many days that you’ll need to use it. They will also tell you how many hours per day to wear your brace and whether or not it should be worn at night or during showers/baths.  Wearing a brace for longer than suggested can actually cause your neck muscles to stiffen and atrophy. Not wearing your brace enough can further irritate any injuries and slow down your recovery process. In some cases, your doctor may allow you to sleep without your collar or use a soft brace at night. Even in these situations, it is important to use a specialty pillow to limit the movement of your neck at night. Some people even sleep in recliners or armchairs to provide more neck stability.  Special neck support pillows are available at medical supply or sleep stores. You may need to experiment with various sleeping positions and pillow options before finding what works for you. Since you won’t be able to tilt your head downwards to look at your plate or to drink, it’s important to make a few changes for comfort and cleanliness. Drink using a straw to help with swallowing. Sit in a lower chair or use a TV tray to elevate your plate. Place a large napkin under your chin and around the brace to catch any errant spills. Be patient with yourself when mastering eating and drinking with your brace. You may have a few accidents at first, but you’ll figure it out with time. You've probably grown accustomed to tilting your head and neck to shave your neck, but you can't do this in a neck brace. Lie down on the floor and shave while keeping your head straight. Have a friend assist you in shaving. They'll be able to maneuver around your neck better and help hold your head still. Pull off the soiled pads from inside your brace. Attach a new set of pads to your brace and reposition it around your neck. Rinse off the soiled pads with mild dish soap and warm water. Lay them out to air dry. Repeat this process each day.  This is why it is important to have at least 2 sets of pads for your brace. If you need to clean the outside of your brace, simply wipe it down with a slightly damp cotton cloth. It will air dry quite quickly.
Summary: Wear your brace for the timeframe suggested by your doctor. Use a pillow or recliner to support your neck while sleeping. Modify your eating and drinking practices to prevent spills. Practice shaving while lying down. Clean and replace your brace’s pads every day.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . Pour one cup of pre-soaked chickpeas into a large pot. Add water to the pot until the chickpeas are completely covered. Cook them on medium-high for an hour to an hour and a half. Once they are cooked, blend the chickpeas with 4 garlic cloves, 1⁄3 cup (79 ml) of lemon juice, 2⁄3 cup (160 ml) of tahini, and 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and cumin to taste. Making hummus is one of the more traditional ways to use tahini. Spread the tahini on toast and drizzle it with honey or agave. For sandwiches, mix the tahini with lemon juice and cumin (or paprika) to taste. Spread the tahini mix onto your favorite sandwich or burger. Mince one to two cloves of garlic. Whisk together 1⁄3 cup (79 ml) of tahini, the garlic, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil until well combined. Slowly mix in 2 to 6 tablespoons (30 to 89 ml) of lukewarm water until you have a consistency you like. Add salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper to taste. You can use 1⁄2 tablespoon (7.4 ml) of soy sauce or miso in place of the lemon juice for an Asian-inspired sauce. Simply dip your favorite vegetables in pure tahini. You can also add lemon juice, salt, and pepper flakes to the tahini for added flavor. Alternatively, dip potato or pita chips in tahini.

SUMMARY: Make hummus Spread it on toast or a sandwich. Drizzle it over meats like chicken and beef. Dip vegetables or chips in tahini.

This will stop people from slipping on the floor and prevent staining. Wipe up spills with a clean rag or towel as soon as they occur. A high-quality sealant will last a few years, so you should re-seal your floor every three to four years. Sealing your concrete floor will protect it from scuffs and stains.  Choose a sealant that’s right for your concrete surface. Use water-based sealants for indoor flooring. Not only will a wax finish protect the floor from dirt build-up, stains, and abrasion, but it will also protect the sealant underneath so it lasts longer. Apply floor wax in a thin layer and spread it out with a rayon or microfiber mop. Re-apply every year or so.
