In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before washing your socks, you’ll want to separate them into two loads: whites and colors. This keeps your socks looking vibrant and prevents any unwanted bleeding.  If you’re washing both dress socks and athletic socks, consider separating those as well. For example, you might have a load of colored dress socks, colored athletic socks, white dress socks, and white athletic socks. You may also wish to separate socks by material. For instance, consider washing wool socks separately from cotton and cotton-blend socks. If you only have a few pairs of white athletic socks to wash, throw them into the washing machine with any white towels that you have. There are many products out there, such as Tide Ultra Stain Release Liquid, aimed to get rid of stains. Purchase a stain remover and follow the directions on the bottle. It may instruct you to either soak your stained socks in the remover or apply the remover directly to the stains. Mix a scoop of Oxiclean powder into a gallon (3.8 L) of warm water and soak your stained socks for a few hours, or overnight if you’re dealing with a tougher stain. Then wash the stained socks. There are also many home remedies that you can try to get rid of different kinds of stains. Try sprinkling salt onto red wine stains or spraying hairspray onto ink stains before washing. Make a generic stain remover at home by mixing a 1:2 ratio of dish washing liquid and hydrogen peroxide. Doing this allows the socks to be cleaned as thoroughly as possible, because the odor-causing bacteria mostly reside inside of the sock. This will also help to minimize lint accumulation. If you often find yourself with single socks, consider pinning each pair together with a clothespin before putting them in the washing machine. This way, they’ll stay paired throughout the washing process and they’ll be easier to put away afterward. Put a load of dirty socks in the washing machine. Set the machine to gentle, press start, and pour in a mild laundry detergent to prevent fading, stretching, and other types of wear and tear. Take the socks out of the washing machine. Feed the sock back through itself and gently pull it straight so that it’s right side in. Do this carefully to avoid stretching out the fabric.
Summary: Separate the socks by color. Use stain removing products to remove stains. Try removing stains with home remedies. Turn the socks inside out. Pin each pair together with a clothespin. Wash the socks on gentle with cold water and mild soap. Turn the socks right side out.

Itching and scratching, along with the appearance of red spots on the skin and swelling, are the most common clinical signs of anaphylactic shock in dogs. This usually occurs within minutes of your dog coming into contact with an allergen.  The most common allergens that cause anaphylactic shock in dogs include insect bites, pollen, mold spores, dust, fleas, and environmental pollutants. The speed and severity of the onset of these symptoms will vary, depending on how much contact your dog has had with an allergen and through what mechanism (e.g., through the skin, through an injection, etc.). The most important thing to look for is the close connection between exposure to an allergen and the appearance of these symptoms. All dogs scratch themselves, but scratching soon after contact with an allergen is more likely to indicate an allergic reaction. After itching and redness, these are the next most common signs of anaphylaxis. If these symptoms appear in your dog as part of an anaphylactic shock, they will also develop very quickly after exposure to an allergen. You may notice your dog urinating more frequently or uncontrollably, as well. Lack of bowel and bladder control is another symptom of anaphylactic shock. The initial symptoms of anaphylaxis (itching, vomiting, etc.) will eventually progress to shallow, rapid breathing, weakness or coldness in the limbs, and general lethargy. Your dog may also begin drooling excessively, even if there’s no food around.  You may also notice irregularities in your dog’s heartbeat; it may have a weak pulse or an elevated heart rate. Some dogs may not show any early signs and may instead progress straight to collapsing.

Q: Mix the 2 ingredients together in a bowl. You can get neem oil in most grocery and health food stores, as well as online. Use a mild soap like Dawn or castile soap for the best results.  Neem oil, which comes from a bitter tree leaf, is thought to be one of the most effective natural pesticides in existence. Fill a large container with the water, then add the oil and soap mixture to it. Stir slowly until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together. Transfer the solution to a spray bottle with a funnel. Spray the pesticide immediately, dousing the entire plant and focusing on spots where you can clearly see pests or signs of pests. Re-apply the pesticide regularly to prevent any infestation.
A: Combine 1/2 oz (15 mL) of neem oil with 1/2 tsp (2 1/2 mL) mild soap. Mix the neem and soap into 2 quarts (2 L) of warm water. Pour the pesticide into a spray bottle.

Problem: Article: There are a lot of decisions that go into decorating a deck or backyard, just like a living room or bedroom. The main things you want to think about are durability and color scheme. You’ll need to find special outdoor lanterns that fit the look you’re going for.  Use outdoor lanterns. Paper lanterns are great for use indoors, but they can be damaged by water. Look for lanterns specifically made for outdoor use: they’ll typically be made of nylon or silk. You can find them online, at home improvement stores, or at patio decoration outlets.  Pick a good color scheme. Unlike an indoor area that is already decorated, you’ll have a bit more free reign in choosing the colors of your lanterns. Match them to your deck furniture, or go big with bright colors like red, blue or yellow. White lanterns can give your backyard a relaxed or dreamy atmosphere when it gets dark. There are many places to hang them: in the air, on a fence or off of a railing. Each will give your backyard a different vibe, and it all depends on your personal preference. Depending on your choice, you’ll need different tools and supplies.  Hang your lanterns high up. If you have large trees, you can hang your lanterns from them for a cool effect. If you don’t want to hang them from trees, or you don’t have any, buy poles to hang your lanterns from. Some companies sell poles specifically for hanging lanterns on, but you can hang them off of any type of pole, as long as there’s a place to attach a hook.  Hang them from a fence. If you have a tall fence, you can simply tie the lanterns right onto the boards without a need for hooks.  Hang them off of a railing. If you want to hang your lanterns from a wooden railing, you’ll need a drill and some small hooks. If your railing is wrought iron, you can easily tie them on. If you’ve chosen to hang your lanterns from a surface that requires hooks, you’ll need to drill a pilot hole to help start the hook. Choose a drill bit with the same diameter as the core of the hook, then drill straight through the wooden railing. Pull out the drill, then screw your hook in, pushing clockwise until it’s flush with the surface of the wood. Once all of your hooks or poles are installed, you’ll be able to hang the lanterns. Use twine or fishing line so that the line doesn’t distract from the effect of the lantern. Tie a small loop at the end of your twine, then slip it over lantern’s hanger. As with the other end of the line, tie a sturdy knot around the fence, tree branch, hook, or other surface.
Summary:
Choose the right lanterns for your outdoor area. Decide where to hang your lanterns. Drill any necessary holes. Tie your lanterns up.
