Problem: Article: There is little to no scientifically-backed support for most homemade treatments; support for these methods is mostly anecdotal, or based on personal accounts. These treatments may or may not work, and could potentially damage your skin. Talk to your doctor before attempting any homemade treatment. If you have particularly sensitive skin take extra care and use more diluted versions of these solutions. Stop if any of these irritate your skin. It is thought that a proteins found in eggs may kill bacteria that causes acne. To make a face mask, separate an egg white from the yolk and, after patting dry your face, apply the egg white to your skin. You can use a cloth for this, if you use your fingers make sure they are clean and dry first. Once the first egg layer has dried, add another. Repeat this 3-5 times, always letting each layer dry first. Then wash it off and pat dry. You can add a layer of tissue between each egg layer. Peel each layer off before you wash your face at the end. Raw egg whites can grow salmonella. Be sure not to ingest raw egg white. Honey has both antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties and may assist in healing wounds and skin infections. There is, however, no evidence that it has any affect on blackheads or acne. It is thought the stickiness may help it bind to the blackheads and remove them. Warm up some honey in a pan, or place a jar of honey in hot water. When the honey is hot to the touch, but there is no danger of you burning yourself, dab it onto your blackheads and let it dry for around ten minutes. Wash off your face with a damp cloth. You can leave this treatment on overnight, but make sure it has dried or you might wake up with your face stuck to your pillow!
Summary: Understand the limitations and risks of homemade treatments. Try an egg white mask. Use warmed honey.

Problem: Article: Set the sink in place to prepare for installation. Utility sinks are typically freestanding, so yours shouldn't need extra fitting. Position the faucet openings near the wall. If the floor is uneven, adjust the screws on the sink's legs until the sink appears level. Roll some putty in your hands to warm it up. Wrap the putty around the underside of the strainer's rim. Then push the strainer into the sink's hole. Under the sink, turn the strainer's nut clockwise with pliers to tighten it. Wipe away any excess putty that oozes from the strainer. First, use pliers to twist the nut on the P-trap counterclockwise. Remove the nut and the threaded flange, then slide them onto the sink's tailpiece. Attach the tailpiece to the P-trap, then tighten the nut to hold it in place. You'll need a pipe approximately 212in (6.4cm) long. You may also need to glue on a few fittings to reach the drain. Slip some plastic, ring-shaped compression nuts over the pipes and tighten them with pliers. Spread the putty under the base of the faucet. Set the faucet in the hole on the sink's rim and push it down to secure it. Wipe away any excess putty. Finish by sliding nuts onto the faucet from below the sink and tightening them. You'll need a pair of flexible, braided, stainless steel supply tubes. Connect a line to each of the tee fittings on the copper pipes. Twist the nuts with pliers to tighten the lines, then run the other ends through the faucet. Go back to the water supply valve and turn it on. Hot and cold water both should reach the sink. At last, your sink has running water!
Summary: Move the sink near the pipes. Secure the drain strainer in place with plumber's putty. Set the sink's tailpiece in a P-trap. Connect the P-trap to the drain pipe with PVC pipe. Secure the faucet to the sink with plumber's putty. Connect the faucet to the supply pipes with flexible supply lines. Turn the water on to get the sink working.

Problem: Article: Flip your shirt inside out so that you can see the stain. Take the hem of the shirt and rub it over the stain. Alternate between using a circular motion and an up-and-down motion. Be sure to use the inside of your shirt to rub the stain, in case the stain transfers. Make sure that the stain is dry first, then rub it with a dryer sheet. If you cannot find a dryer sheet, try using a pair of nylons instead. Rub the stain using a circular and an up-and-down motion. You can also use a sock to buff the stain away. Turn a sock inside out, and buff the stain with it until it disappears. Run some hot water over a cloth (such as a towel or clean rag), and add a few drops of soap. Massage the cloth to get the soap into the fibers, then rub it over the stain. After a few minutes, the stain should be gone. If there is soap on your shirt, dip the cloth into clean water, and rub the area until the soap disappears. If you do not have access to water, try using a baby wipe or a makeup remover wipe. Purchase a magic eraser sponge from the cleaning section of a grocery or department store. Dampen the sponge and squeeze out any excess water. Rub the stain using an up-and-down motion. Fill your sink with water, and add in the amount of stain remover specified on the label. Put your shirt into the sink and let it soak. For light stains, leave the shirt in the water for an hour; for heavier stains, leave the shirt overnight. Once the shirt is done soaking, wash it in the laundry machine as usual. You can also try using a stain remover pen or spray. Both can be purchased in the laundry department of a grocery store. Mix some baking soda with just enough water to make a paste. Massage the paste into the stain and leave it there for one hour. Wash the paste off using cold water, then wash your shirt in the laundry machine. Mix one part white vinegar with one part water. Soak the stain with this solution, and rub it between your fingers. If the stain is heavy, soak the shirt in the solution for a few hours. Once you are done, wash the shirt in the laundry machine.
Summary: Rub the stain with another part of the shirt. Rub the stain with a dryer sheet or a pair of nylons. Scrub the stain away with a damp, soapy cloth. Buff the stain away with a magic eraser. Try using a store bought stain remover. Clean the stain with a paste made from baking soda and water. Wash the stain with vinegar and water.
