Q: Extending from any knot are two "arms." Grab one of these arms and start turning it. You can turn it clockwise or counterclockwise. The number of times you'll need to turn it depends on the tightness of the knot. The arms of very tight knots will need to be turned more than knots that are merely tight. Once you've turned one arm of the knot several times, push it through the heart of the knot using your hands. Start as close as you can to the knot itself, since the further from the knot you begin, the less leverage you will have. If you find that you cannot push the turned end through, twist it in the same direction several more times, then try to push it through. Once you've pushed a bit of the knotted material through the tight loop, pull it apart from the other side. If the knot is still tight, wiggle the bit you pushed through from side to side. This should enable you to bring it through the rest of the way. As you pull, the whole knot should loosen up even more.
A: Twist one end of the knot. Push the turned end through the knot. Pull the knot apart.

Article: You can use a spatula and scrape the surface to remove chunks, or use a cloth or thick paper towel to remove pieces. Press on an absorbent cloth or paper towel just hard enough to absorb liquid, but not so hard that you force the vomit further into the underlying surface. This will help absorb the odor of the vomit. Leave the baking soda for about 30 minutes, then vacuum it. Be sure to create a solution that will work on the type of material you need to clean, whether it is leather, upholstery, plastic, or carpeting. While you can purchase a commercial cleaner made for the appropriate material, you can also make your own: For leather upholstery: Make a paste of baking soda and water by mixing three parts baking soda to one part warm water. For vinyl, cloth, plastic, or carpeting: Mix eight parts warm water with one part white vinegar. Add about a half teaspoon (2.5 mL) dishwashing liquid and stir thoroughly. Apply the liquid cleaning solution to the vomit stain, using a lint-free cloth to thoroughly scrub the area. If the stain has penetrated your car's carpeting, you may need to use a hard-bristle brush. Use a wet or damp lint-free cloth to remove as much of the cleaning solution as possible. Use a damp, not wet, cloth to clean leather upholstery. Rinse vinyl or cloth upholstery, plastic or carpeting with a wet cloth. If you've used a great deal of cleaning solution, you may find it more efficient to use a squirt bottle for rinsing. If you have them, use white cotton cloths so that you can see that the stain is being lifted every time you blot. Continue blotting until no stain is visible on the upholstery or on your blotting cloth. Depending on the weather and your car's location, you may wish to set up a fan or use a hair dryer to speed the drying process.
