INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Salt from your skin will corrode your razor blade, causing it to dull faster. Don't stop at simply rinsing the blade, give it a good scrubbing. Using an old toothbrush, simply scrub across the blade a few times to clean away any leftover skin and hair, before rinsing it in water again. The quickest way to wear a razor blade is to let it rust. When water causes the metal blade to oxidize, tiny particles of rust form on it. You may not be able to see them, but those particles corrode the blade, dulling it. Additionally, in hard water areas, letting the water dry onto the blade leaves behind scratchy crystals which prevent you getting a close shave. Pat the razor dry on a towel to remove loose water droplets. Be sure you don't wipe it with the towel, because the blade will likely catch on the threads, dulling the blade. Dip the razor into a dish of rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will cause any remaining water to evaporate when it hits the air. As an added bonus, it also sanitizes the blade. You will defeat the purpose of drying your razor if you then stick it back in the humid shower or next to the sink where it will be splashed with water. Store the razor in a dry location away from either possibility or keep it in a resealable plastic bag. You can even set it in a cup with leftover beads of silicon gel - the kind that come in those little square packages - in the bottom or store it in your freezer between uses.

SUMMARY: Clean the razor after each use. Dry your razor thoroughly after each use. Store the razor in a dry place.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Experts recommend that nothing should be in a newborn's crib or bassinet other than a tightly fitting sheet over the mattress. Toys, blankets, pillows, and other objects can be suffocation hazards and cause a baby to overheat. If you co-sleep, make sure that your bedding is kept away from your infant. A sleeping newborn's room doesn't need to be significantly warmer or cooler than an adult's. During the summer, a room temperature between 70-72F (about 21C) should be comfortable for a sleeping newborn. If you don't have air conditioning, or your baby's room needs extra cooling, try a box or oscillating fan. However, set it so that it doesn't blow directly on the baby's face, and keep it well away from the crib or bassinet. Hanging up wet towels in the room is another way to help cool it. Even in a room that is relatively cool, sitting in direct sunlight can cause a baby to feel uncomfortable. Set its crib or bassinet in a shaded area of the room, or draw curtains/blinds closed when it's napping. There are a few classic signs that a baby is too hot. If you see any of the following signs, remove some of your newborn's clothing, or take it to a cooler area: The baby's forehead is sweating Its ears feel hot to your touch You can feel a dent at the top of the newborn's forehead Fussiness combined with any of the above

SUMMARY: Keep toys, blankets, and pillows out of the crib. Set the room to a temperature comfortable for adults. Turn on a fan. Keep your newborn out of direct sunlight. Check to see if your baby is hot.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To make this process easier, pour liberal amounts of water on the dressing so that the edges of the tape loosen up. You could also try wetting the bandage with a cotton ball that has been dipped in a saline solution. You could also use an unopened, sterile bottle of water to clean the wound. When you have uncovered your wound, take a look at it to see if there are any signs of infection. Note any foul smelling odor, drainage (and what color the drainage is) and the physical appearance of the wound. It is normal to see redness and swelling during the first few days after you receive the wound, but any foul smell or draining pus, or exudate, means that your wound is infected. Report these signs to your doctor immediately. Apply an antibiotic cream to make sure the wound is protected. Cover the wound with sterilized gauze and tape the gauze down around the edges. Do not use an antibacterial cream for an extended period of time.

SUMMARY:
Remove the old dressing. Assess your wound. Apply the new dressing.
