Q: Choose any color of a print or solid cotton or flannel fabric to use for a crib sheet. Cotton works well for any season, while flannel is ideal for colder weather. Try making sheets in a color that complements your crib or nursery, such as aqua and white if your nursery will feature these colors. If you are giving the crib sheet as a gift, opt for a pastel-colored print or solid fabric, such as pale yellow, mint green, lavender, light pink, and baby blue. Pre-washing will help to ensure that the fabric will not shrink after you sew it, which could make the sheet unusable. Wash the fabric on a normal wash cycle alone or with like colors and fabrics. Then, dry the fabric in a dryer. If desired, you may also iron the fabric to remove any wrinkles before you sew. However, this is not necessary. Use a laundry detergent that has been formulated specifically for babies. Avoid detergents that contain harsh chemicals, dyes, and perfumes.
A: Purchase 2yd (1.8m) of cotton or flannel fabric. Pre-wash the fabric to ensure that it will not shrink.

Q: This ratio is a ratio of your debt compared to your income, so you would divide the amount of debt you have by the amount of income you have. The amount of monthly debt you have should be smaller than the amount of monthly income you have. Example: If your monthly debt is $1300 and your monthly income is $3450, then: 1300 / 3450 = 0.3768 Multiply the decimal answer you get in your initial calculations by 100 to come up with a ratio percentage. This is the figure you will use for all practical purposes. Example: 0.3768 * 100 = 38%
A: Divide your monthly debt by your monthly income. Turn this number into a percentage.

Q: Get a rag or soft cloth damp with warm water. Use the damp rag or cloth to wipe down the cork. Try to loosen any dirt while you wet the cork. Wash your cork directly under the faucet tap. Do this for cork that you are prepared to get fully wet, like a fishing rod grip. Don't leave standing water on cork floors. Also don't submerge shoes with cork uppers or heels under water. This could ruin any leather or suede on the shoes. Use a damp sponge, gently scrub a soapy cleaning solution into your cork. Rub in circles and clean the entire surface. Rinse the cleaning solution off of the cork. Finally, dry it with a clean, soft rag or allow the cork to air dry overnight before using. Clean smaller cork items with mild detergent and water, the vinegar, soap, and water cleaning solution above, or store-bought cleaners. Make a paste with Borax to remove tough, ground-in dirt. Combine water with Borax in a shallow bowl. Start with about cup (60 mL) Borax and add just enough drops of water to make a thick paste.
A:
Wipe away dirt with water. Put your cork under running water. Wash other kinds of cork with a cleaning solution. Make a paste with Borax.
