In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Plan to clean your oil brush as soon as you are done using it. Do so even if you intend on coming back to your painting project in the near future. Always clean your brush promptly to ensure a thorough job with minimum damage to the bristles.  If you are going to resume painting shortly, don’t soak your brush in paint thinner in the meantime as a substitute for cleaning. Over time, paint thinner will eat away at the glue that binds the bristles to the handle. Although oil paints dry at a slower rate than other types, it is still easier to clean your brush before they have a chance to dry at all. Set up your cleaning station before you begin painting. Have a pair of cleaning gloves and protective eyewear ready to protect yourself from chemicals. Lay out newspaper, old towels, or drop cloths to keep surfaces clean. Assemble them before you begin your project. Make sure you have what is needed before you really need it. Guarantee a quick and easy clean-up without having to search for this or that while the paint dries in your brush. At the very least, you will need:  Cleaning rags, newspaper sheets, paper towels, or similar materials One sealable container with a lid. Paint thinner (mineral spirits or turpentine, depending on your medium) or safflower oil Soap (preferably designed specifically for paint brushes; if not, dish-washing soap or shampoo is acceptable)
Summary: Don’t wait. Protect yourself and your surroundings. Set up your cleaning supplies.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The often overlooked but crucial step in determining how a paint color will look is assessing the lighting. If your basement receives little sunlight and has a generally dim electric light setup, it will actually be very difficult to get light paint colors to look appealing. Instead, they tend to look dingy and dull. Darker rooms need more richly saturated paint colors to prevent them from looking darker and less inviting. If your basement is rather dark and you have the time and money and want to make your basement look spectacular, consider investing in additional lighting. Recessed lighting has long been the favored choice for basements, and if you already have recessed lights you can simply add more. Try How to Choose the Proper Lighting for a Basement. Remember that the amount of light your space receives will vary depending on the time of day, the season, and the current weather conditions. Of course, there's no way to change that. But you can keep that in mind when deciding what kind of paint you choose and how much additional lighting you may need.  If your space is darker in the winter months because of the decreased natural light, you might want to consider using richly saturated paint colors combined with additional lighting that you can use when needed. Trade warm-colored bulbs for white LED lights. These LEDs can brighten up the room and give off more light while saving on energy costs. If your basement has windows along one or more walls, you can encourage the spread of natural light by removing any walls blocking the windows from other rooms.  These partitioned walls can often make a space feel more closed off. Of course, be careful not to remove any important load-bearing walls. Consult a structural engineer before making any decisions to remove walls.
Summary: Evaluate the amount of light your basement receives. Invest in additional lighting. Consider changing light. Remove light-blocking walls.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Avoid using strong soap, cream, douches, powders and sprays.  These products may increase the chances of contracting a UTI during pregnancy.  Take a shower rather than a bath. If you must bathe, avoid taking more than two baths per day or bathing for more than half an hour at a time.  Avoid bubble bath or bath beads, which can inflame the urethral opening. Make sure the tub is cleaned and rinsed well before taking a bath. Holding your urine keeps bacteria in your bladder longer and gives it a greater chance of developing into an infection.  Take care to completely empty your bladder during each trip.  Remember that the pressure of your growing uterus may complicate this practice; you'll need to carefully consider whether you're actually done urinating.  Blot dry with toilet paper and do not rub your genital area. Wipe from front to back every time.  Treat constipation properly as soon as possible. Wash your genital area with warm water before sex to eliminate bacteria.  You may use a water-based lubricant during sex. You should not have sex if you are being treated for a urinary tract infection.

Keep your genital area clean. Go to the bathroom as soon as you feel the urge. Go to the bathroom before and after sexual intercourse.
