Range hoods can be made from a variety of materials. When choosing what to clean with, pick a cleaner that's safe to use on that material in order to avoid damaging it. For instance:  For plastic or vinyl hoods, use an all-purpose cleaner or warm soapy water.  For stainless steel, go with warm soapy water.  For copper, use copper cleaner. Expect the hood’s exterior to be a pretty easy job since it’s aimed away from your stovetop. Simply spray it with your cleaner. Follow the cleaner's directions if it advises letting it sit for any length of time before wiping it off. Wipe it down with a dry, clean cloth or paper towels. Remove all traces of the cleaner. If the hood's material has an obvious grain, wipe with the grain for a more effective clean and polish.

Q: It's important to immediately remove any excess water that has collected in the bristles or on the pad of a wooden brush. Moisture can cling and seep into brush bristles, cloth brush pads, and wood causing mold and rot. Using a cloth, gently press between the bristles to reach the surface of the cylinder or pad. Make sure to use adequate pressure to soak up any excess moisture. Once you have absorbed excess moisture, it's important to allow the brush to fully dry before use. Place the bristles facing down on a clean and dry towel and allow to dry overnight. If you need to use your brush right away, use a hair dryer set to its lowest setting to speed the drying process. Go back and forth over the brush a few times to blow out any remaining water drops and to ensure that the hairbrush is now damp rather than soaking wet.
A: Use a clean dry cloth to dry your hairbrush if you have a wooden handle or paddle. Lay your hairbrush, bristles facing down, on a cloth to air dry. Use a hair dryer to quickly dry your hairbrush.

Article: These days, many makeup items tell you upfront how long they’re good for. They’re usually marked with a MM/YY date that tells you when you should throw it away. If an item doesn’t have a specific date, it may have a PAO (period after opening) mark that tells you how long the product is good for once you open it.  The PAO mark appears as number inside a small jar symbol. 6M, for example, would mean that a product is good for six months after the date that you open it. Expiration dates and PAO marks are only guidelines. If you notice changes in color, consistency or scent prior to the dates on the packaging, you should still throw away the products. Some products may not have an expiration date or PAO mark, so it’s up to you to use the standard guidelines to know when to throw them out. It can be difficult to remember when you bought a certain tube of lipstick or blush, though, so it’s a good idea to put a label on the item with the date. That way, you’ll know precisely when you should throw it away. Instead of labeling the makeup with the date that you bought it, figure out the date that you should get rid of it according to the general guidelines and write that on the table that you place on it. If you have items in your makeup drawer that don’t have expiration dates or POA marks, and you haven’t labeled them, all hope isn’t lost. There are several apps, such as Beauty Keeper, Check Fresh, and Check Cosmetic, that helps you figure out when an item was manufactured. All you have to do is input the item’s batch code, which is a number usually printed somewhere on the product.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Notice the expiration date. Label items with date of purchase. Use apps to help keep track.

Problem: Article: The pot should be big enough to accommodate your lobster tails. If you don’t have a steamer basket, you could use a small metal colander to keep the tails from being submerged in the water. The amount of water will vary based on how large the pot is, but aim to fill it a couple inches. The basket or colander should keep the lobster tails out of, but close to, the water. Then, cover the pot with the lid and bring the water to a boil on medium-high heat. Use sharp kitchen shears to cut the exoskeleton, or shell, of the lobster tail down the center. Avoid cutting the meat or cutting into the tail fan. Spread the shell apart with your hands, then pull or cut out the vein running down the middle. Remove the lid and carefully add the lobster tails to the steamer basket or on top of the colander. The size of the lobster tails dictates how long they should cook for.  Cook 3-6 oz. (85-170 g) tails for 4-6 minutes. Cook 6-7 oz. (170-198 g) tails for 6-8 minutes. Cook 8-10 oz. (227-283 g) tails for 8-10 minutes. Cook 10-16 oz. (283-454 g) tails for 9-11 minutes. Cook 16-20 oz. (454-567 g) tails for 10-12 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, remove the pot from the heat and turn off the burner. Carefully remove the lobster tails using tongs. Check to make sure the meat in the center of the tail is fully cooked—it should be an opaque, white color. If it’s not, steam them for another minute or 2. To make drawn butter, simply melt the butter over low heat. You can flavor it with lemon juice or salt and pepper, if desired. Then, dunk the lobster tail meat in the butter and enjoy!
Summary: Put a steamer basket in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add 2 inches (5.1 cm) of cold water to the pot and bring it to a boil. Cut the lobster tails down the center and remove the vein. Place the lobster tails in the steamer basket and cook for 4-12 minutes. Remove the lobster tails with tongs. Serve the lobster tails with drawn butter.

Article: If you're treating a stain on a piece of fabric or clothing, stretch the fabric over a large bowl. Position the stain in the center and wrap a rubber band around the outside of the bowl to hold the fabric in place. Bring a kettle of water to a boil and slowly pour the hot water through the stain and into the bowl.  The hot water can loosen the stain and force it out of the fabric. If you're cleaning a fabric stain on a couch, you'll need to remove the cover or cushion to get to the stain. Get out a small bowl and pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of gentle dishwashing liquid. Stir in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of hydrogen peroxide until it's combined. Apply the solution to the stain and let it just soak in for 20 minutes. Once the stain looks like it's lifting, wash the material in the washing machine. Only use the brightening dish soap solution on light fabrics since it can lighten dark fabrics. Another way to lift stubborn stains is to coat the stain with white vinegar. Take a few spoonfuls of liquid laundry detergent and rub the soap in. This should loosen the stain. Wash the fabric in hot water to completely remove the stain. If you don't have very many materials to make a deep cleaning solution, just spray club soda mixed with equal parts of white vinegar over the stain. Use paper towels or an old towel to blot up the mixture. You can repeat spraying and blotting until you see the stain lifting.

Pour boiling water through the material. Apply a brightening dish soap solution. Apply vinegar and liquid laundry detergent. Spray and blot up a club soda and white vinegar mixture.
