Problem: Article: Dry water that accumulates indoors after heavy rains. Use an indoor/outdoor vacuum on major puddles. After a flood, remove any water-damaged items that can't be thoroughly dried, including carpets, bedding, and furniture. Don't leave wet clothes or towels lying around the house. Hang clothes to dry after laundering them or put them in the drier immediately. Dry wet spots on carpets and rugs within 24-48 hours. Run an exhaust fan or open the window when you shower. Wipe down the floor and walls in your bathroom after a shower. Regrade your yard so it slopes away from your home. If it slopes towards your house, water doesn't collect in your basement or crawlspace. Lower humidity by running dehumidifiers and window air conditioners. Use fans, but only within 48 hours of flooding or else mold spores can be blown around. Avoid using heaters or turning up the heat in confined areas because mold grows more quickly in higher temperatures. Use a percent bleach solution to clean the condensation pan under the coil of your central air conditioner. Also check to be sure the drain on your air conditioner is working properly. Seal any leaky air conditioner duct joints with flexible mastic. Sealing the ducts is especially important if they run through a hot attic where the heat and leaky cool air create moisture for mold to grow. Clean all humidifiers, which both distribute mold throughout your home and give mold a place to grow. Use an antimicrobial solution to clean humidifier reservoirs.
Summary: Prevent excess moisture in your home. Improve your home's air circulation after floods or heavy rains. Clean and seal your air conditioner's parts.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: These dyes are give oak a consistent base color that improves the final stain. All you have to do is stir the dye powder into a glass jar filled with water according to the manufacturer's instructions. Mix the dye powder in 50% more water than the label recommends, since this thins the dye and prevents the wood from absorbing too much color. For example, you might mix about 12 cup (120mL) of dye in 2 cups (470mL) of hot water. Visit a home improvement store to find a variety of wood dye shades. For example, a honey amber dye works well on red oak, turning it a light brown color. Fill a spray bottle with room temperature water. Move the bottle along the wood as you spray water onto it. You want to lightly moisten it, not saturate it. The water fills the oak's pores, causing it to dye more evenly. You can also use a sponge to moisten the wood. While you can stain dry wood, this may lead to dark patches and streaks in the stain. Empty out the spray bottle, then load the thinned dye into it. Bring the nozzle close to the oak as you begin misting the dye onto it. Slowly move the bottle along the oak to cover it in a light, even layer of dye. You can also use clean rags or paper towels to wipe the dye onto the wood. The dye will begin soaking into the wood right away. After you are done misting dye, use clean rags or paper towels to wipe away the remaining dye. Remember to work along the oak's grain. Wiping smooths out the coating and removes excess dye that can make the wood too dark. You will need to wait for the oak to feel dry to the touch. If the dye isn't dried properly, it may discolor the final stain. The dye may also darken during this time, so waiting can help you get an idea of how much more dye the wood needs. Check the manufacturer's instructions for drying recommendations. You may need to repeat dyeing 2 or 3 times to get the color you desire. Remember to wait for the wood to dry every time you add another coating of dye. The oak should be a consistent color when you are finished. Each coating of dye deepens the oak's coloring, so be cautious. Reversing a dark dye job is very difficult and you may need to start over on new wood if this happens. Sand along the wood's grain, pressing down very lightly to avoid scratching the oak. This scuffs the oak so it is better able to absorb sealant. Wipe off the wood particles with a clean, dry tack cloth when you're finished. Use only fine-grit sandpaper. Anything coarser will damage the wood. Make sure you sand the entire area. Any areas that appear dull in light usually haven't been sanded enough. You will need a can of clear shellac from a home improvement store. Look for the 2 pounds (0.91kg) variety. Using a paint brush or clean rag, spread the shellac onto the oak, moving along the grain. The 2 pounds (0.91kg) label on the can of shellac means that 2 pounds (0.91kg) of shellac flakes were dissolved in alcohol. You can use sanding sealer or varnish instead of shellac. The shellac should feel dry to the touch. Depending on how well-ventilated your workspace is, drying may take a little longer than this. Check the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended drying time.
Summary:
Mix a wood dye in water. Mist the oak with water to improve dye absorption. Spray the dye onto the wood. Blot off the excess dye after 10 minutes. Wait about 2 hours for the dye to dry. Apply extra coatings of dye as needed. Sand the wood lightly with 320-grit sandpaper. Brush dewaxed shellac onto the dye to seal it into the wood. Wait 30 minutes for the shellac to dry.
