Article: Run the cheesecloth under hot water immediately after you use it so the food stains don't set into the cloth. Hang it to dry until you are ready to put it in the washing machine. It's best not to put wet cheesecloth pieces in the laundry basket because it can encourage mold growth. If you have a cheesecloth that's designed for reuse and made from a high-quality knit material (like cotton), you can wash it with other kitchen cloths. Use a detergent meant for delicate fabrics. It should be free of dyes or perfumes, which could damage the cheesecloth or leach out into your food. Use warm or hot water in the wash and cold water rinse with bleach. Avoid using a fabric softener when cleaning your cheesecloth. The extra fragrance and softening agents will leave a coating on your cheesecloth and can leach into your food the next time you use it. Cheesecloth that's labeled single-use cannot be washed in the washing machine. You may be able to hand wash it and reuse once or twice, but it's better to buy cheesecloth meant for reuse. If you use muslin as an extra-sturdy cheesecloth alternative, you can easily wash it in your washing machine. Add it in the same load with your kitchen or bath towels. Check the label on your detergent to make sure it doesn't contain dyes or fragrances that could contaminate your food the next time you use the muslin. Avoid using fabric softener for your muslin, as it could cause buildup on the cloth that can leach into your food. The muslin will shrink after you wash it the first time. Pick a lightweight unbleached muslin as an easy to clean cheesecloth alternative. Unbleached muslin will have a natural cream color. Find muslin at your local fabric store. Tell them you are looking for muslin to use as cheesecloth for straining or squeezing.

Rinse the cheesecloth before you launder it to get rid of food debris. Wash high-quality cheesecloth in the washing machine. Launder muslin with other towels in the washing machine.
Article: To make sure your holes are aligned when you're drilling, use a framing square as a guide. You'll want to clamp the framing square to the table of the drill press. Then when you're drilling, you can move the block of wood along the edge of the framing square to make sure the holes are lined up with each other. To get clean holes with minimum tear-out, use a high-quality 1/8" brad-point bit. These can be found at hardware stores. Set the drill to its highest speed. Place the wood block against the framing square so that the drill bit is lined up with one of the holes on the outer most row.

Article: You will need a soft bristle toothbrush (an old one that you don't plan on using again will work fine), some dish soap, a small bowl with water in it, and a lint free towel. This method of cleaning your Swarovski crystal jewelry works best for deep cleaning or occasional maintenance. Don't use this method too often because it may wear off some of the thin protective plating on the crystals. You may want to keep a small bowl of water handy to moisten the toothbrush as you clean the crystals. Only use a small amount at first and add more as you go if needed. Use the toothbrush to gently remove dirt from each crystal individually. Do not scrub the crystals. Move the toothbrush in a circular motion to gently clean away dirt. Focus on cleaning one crystal at a time. Hold your crystals under a stream of warm running water to rinse away the soap. (CAUTION: The crystals will be slippery. You may want to place a small bowl or colander over the drain just in case you drop your crystals.) Gently pat dry your jewelry using a soft lint free cloth. You may also want to lay out your jewelry on the cloth until you are sure that it is completely dry. Do not put away your jewelry until it is completely dry.
