INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In order to remove vomit from a surface you will need to have the appropriate supplies to ensure that you do so without exposing yourself to it. Get paper towels, gloves, and a plastic bag. Take two paper towels and fold them up to make them thicker. Use your paper towel to lift up chunks and place them in the bag. Scoop the chunks gently or you might push the vomit into the carpet, making the stain worse. Alternatively, you could use a large spoon or spatula to scoop the chunks into the bag. Once all of the large chunks of vomit are gone, leaving only a wet surface, tie the bag tightly and place it in a trash can outside of your living space.

SUMMARY: Collect necessary supplies. Pick up the chunks gently. Take out the vomit.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Explain any discomfort you are feeling. Be sure to tell the doctor if you are on any medications. Symptoms of a serotonin imbalance include:  Agitation or restlessness Diarrhea Fast heartbeat and high blood pressure Hallucinations Increased body temperature Loss of coordination Nausea and vomiting Overactive reflexes Flushing (face, neck, or upper chest) Difficulty breathing, such as wheezing A urine test known as the 5-HIAA level test may be ordered if the doctor suspects that your symptoms are related to serotonin levels. This test measures the amount of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the urine. 5-HIAA is a breakdown product of serotonin and indicates raised levels of serotonin in the body. This test is most often ordered to rule out the presence of carcinoid tumors. As they grow, carcinoid tumors secrete serotonin into the body and that excess generates a group of symptoms known as Carcinoid Syndrome. The 5-HIAA level is a test that requires multiple urine samples to be taken over a 24-hour period. The doctor will send you home with a kit that includes instructions, labels, and containers for your urine. Go over the instructions with your doctor before you leave. Certain medications can interfere with testing, so you may be asked to temporarily stop taking them. Be aware that some medications require a gradual reduction in dose, while others can be stopped immediately. Eating plums, pineapples, bananas, eggplant, tomatoes, avocados, and walnuts can affect the results of the 5-HIAA test. Quit eating these food 3 days before the test. Results from the laboratory can take 3 days to 1 week. Ask your doctor ahead of time how long you will have to wait. This may help alleviate some anxiety you are feeling. Once you sit down with your doctor, be sure to ask any questions you may have.

SUMMARY: Visit with a doctor about any symptoms you are having. Discuss testing with your doctor. Give samples of urine to be tested. Review any medications you are currently taking with your doctor. Avoid certain foods that interfere with test results. Discuss the results of your test with your doctor.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dirt and dust can collect in the nooks and crannies of sofas and their cushions. Use the brush extension of the vacuum to lift dirt and reach difficult areas. This will make a cleaning solution that won’t damage the coated leather. It’s important to use a non-detergent soap so the coating on the furniture is not dulled by harmful chemicals. Dip one small part of the cloth into the solution at first. Make sure the cloth is just damp, not saturated. You might need to ring it out a little bit before using it. Make sure it’s not an area that you can see normally on the piece of furniture. This will be your test spot to ensure that there’s no marking or staining from your cleaning solution. Wait for it to dry or gently wipe it dry after a few moments. If there’s no discoloration on the test patch, continue wiping the couch. Work from top to bottom, using large circular motions and re-moistening the cloth as needed. After applying the cleaning solution, go back over the couch with a cloth dipped in only water. Work from top to bottom again, using large circular motions. This will help remove any residue from the soap. Use a soft, microfiber towel to dry the furniture. Your couch should never be soaking wet, as saturation will cause irreversible damage to the material. Never use a hair dryer or fan to dry the leather. Although they might be quicker, they can cause dehydration of the leather. To replace natural oils that leather loses when it is cleaned, apply a leather cream using a clean cloth. Let the cream dry completely and buff to shine if needed. Avoid using DIY cleaning or conditioning solutions that include vinegar, as it can strip the glossy coating from the patent leather. Apply the vaseline or rubbing alcohol to a q-tip or paper towel and gently it rub into the stained area. Wipe the area dry after 15-20 seconds, and reapply if necessary until the stain disappears. After the stain is gone, wipe down the area with a damp cloth and dry it completely.

SUMMARY:
Vacuum the entire surface area of the furniture piece. Add a few drops of non-detergent liquid soap to distilled water. Dampen a microfiber cloth in the cleaning solution. Wipe an inconspicuous spot on the furniture with the solution. Wipe the couch from top to bottom using your cleaning solution. Wipe the couch with just distilled water. Dry your patent leather furniture piece. Condition the leather to ensure it retains its softness. Use a small amount of vaseline or rubbing alcohol for tough stains.
