INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Mildew can deteriorate leather if it is allowed to grow on it. Don’t leave your items in a humid or wet basement – this could promote the growth of mildew. Don’t keep your leather in plastic either. Removing all air supply from the leather is bad for the material. Once leather has been damaged, there is no way to repair it. Keep in mind that you can only prevent this to a degree, so don’t obsess over it. Try not to leave your leather on a gravel driveway, for example. However, throughout the lifespan of your leather something is bound to happen to it.  Many people enjoy the look of worn leather and think its brings the material to life. You also should avoid letting your leather get stretched out. For example, if you stuff a leather wallet too full it won’t go back to its normal size afterwards. If you want sleek, new looking leather you should avoid stretching it.

SUMMARY: Keep the items in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keep leather away from abrasives that can scuff or cut it.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Since even the smallest speck of asbestos can cause health problems, it’s a good idea to completely clear out the room that you’ll be taking a sample from. If you can’t remove all the furniture, then push it far away from the sampling area and cover it all with plastic drop cloths. If you remove a sample from a ceiling, then asbestos particles can become airborne if you have air circulating in the room. To keep this from happening, turn off your heating or cooling system. Shut any windows or doors and keep any fans turned off. Wear coveralls or outer clothing that you won’t mind throwing away after taking the sample. You can usually buy disposable coveralls for $5-10 at your local hardware store. Wear heavy disposable gloves as well. And, put on a breathing mask (a paper one is fine) and goggles, too. It’s bad to let asbestos touch your skin, so keep totally covered.  Remember that you’ll need to toss everything that you’ve worn on the outside, including goggles and gloves. So, don’t spend a lot on them. While you are taking the sample and before you’ve fully cleaned up, don’t let anyone else in the room. Get industrial plastic sheeting from your hardware store. Place this sheeting on the floor directly under where you’ll take the sample. Use duct tape to secure the sheeting to the floor, so that it won’t shift around. Set your ladder directly on top of the sheeting and under where you’ll take the sample. When you’ve finished placing the plastic, get a spray bottle and mist the whole space with water. This helps to keep any dust particles from floating around. It’s not necessary to saturate any surfaces, just a quick spraying will do fine.

SUMMARY:
Remove all furniture and items from the room. Close the windows and shut off any fans. Put on your safety gear. Lay plastic drop cloths on the floor. Mist the room with water.
