Problem: Article: An oatmeal mask is a great substitute for bleach on your skin. Oatmeal helps exfoliate the skin. This exfoliation gets rid of old skin cells. Getting rid of these old cells is the best way to encourage growth of new skin cells that will lighten and brighten your skin. To make your mask, you'll need a teaspoon of oatmeal powder, a pinch of turmeric and a few drops of lemon juice. Simply use a blender to blend oats for oatmeal powder. If you don't have a blender, use a tablespoon of raw oats instead. Mix your oatmeal powder (or oatmeal), turmeric powder, and lemon juice in a small bowl. If you plan on putting it on more than just your face, evenly multiply the measurements as necessary. Mix it into a thick paste. Apply the paste evenly over your face. Let it dry. This will take up to 15 minutes so make sure you give yourself enough time. Once your mask has dried, use warm water to wash it off. While you're washing it off, scrub it over your face. The dried oatmeal will exfoliate your skin. This scrub is very effective but takes time to work because it is much less harsh than bleach. It will take patience to reach your desired goal, but continue using this mask daily and you'll see a noticeable difference.
Summary: Gather your ingredients. Create your mask. Apply and let it sit. Scrub while you wash it off. Repeat once daily.

Problem: Article: If silk flowers have been in storage for a while, they may build up dirt and grime. In this case, you can wash flowers in water with dish soap in a sink full of warm water, mix in two to three tablespoons of gentle dish soap. You can then gently swish your flowers in the water. This should remove any unwanted dirt and grime.  When you're done, set your flowers on a towel. Allow them to air dry. Make sure to add water to a small portion of the flowers first to make sure it does not damage them. Take a spray bottle and fill it halfway with distilled vinegar and halfway with water. From there, shake the bottle until the water and vinegar are mixed together. Spray the flowers with a light amount of the mixture and then let them dry. If you've never exposed your flowers to water before, spritz a light amount of water on a small corner of the flowers to see if it causes damage first. Many cleaning sprays are sold specifically for silk flowers. Some of these sprays can work well, but use discretion. Make sure the spray is designed for silk flowers, as sprays made for artificial flowers in general may not work on silk. You should also keep in mind flower sprays may be more expensive than other methods. If you have a dishwasher that can be a set to a gentle cycle, you can wash your flowers on the top rack without detergent. A mild amount of water will wash off set-in dirt and dust. However, make sure the manufacturer's instructions first as some silk flowers are not dishwasher friendly. This can result in your dishwasher getting stained and flowers getting damaged. As always, make sure your flowers respond well to water by adding a small amount to the flowers before washing them.
Summary:
Wash your flowers in water. Use vinegar. Try cleaning sprays. Use the dishwasher.
