Problem: Article: Most commercial stain removers are capable of breaking up sap stains. A little bit of your everyday liquid laundry detergent may also work. Transfer the stain remover with a rag or cotton ball. Spread it thinly over the area you need to clean. Work the stain remover into the stain with your fingers or a toothbrush, if you'd like. Leave the clothing to dry in open air for at least 20 minutes. This gives the product time to loosen the dried sap, which is very difficult to remove through washing alone. The temperature you use depends on the kind of fabric you're washing. Most clothing can be washed in warm water, which is usually enough to remove sap stains. Delicates and darks should be washed in cold water. Washing can be done either in a washing machine or by hand. Your regular laundry detergent is normally enough to remove sap stains. For extra effect, you may use bleach. Chlorine bleach is safe to use on white cotton or cotton-polyester blends. You'll need an all-color or oxygen bleach for any other type of clothing. Read the label information to ensure the product won't damage your clothing. No matter how tempted you feel, don't throw a stained shirt in the dryer. As soon as that stain dries, it'll be a nightmare to remove, especially if you used heat. Wash the clothing again or try isopropyl alcohol. It may take 2 or 3 rounds to fully remove the sap, but you'll save a perfectly good piece of clothing.
Summary: Pretreat the sap stain with a stain remover. Soak the sap stain for 20 minutes. Wash the clothing on the highest temperature possible. Wash with bleach to remove tough stains. Repeat treatment until the sap is gone.

Problem: Article: You can use any permanent marker, but keep in mind that some aren't made to be used on the skin. Always test the marker on a small area of skin first. That way, if you get a reaction, you know not to use that marker. For instance, test a little bit on the inside of your elbow to see how it reacts. A temporary tattoo pen is your best option, which you can find online. Sprinkle the baby powder all over the design until it's covered. Rub it in gently with the tips of your fingers. When you have it covered, gently shake and brush the excess powder off. The baby powder helps set the design. You can even layer baby powder, then ink, then baby powder, then ink, over and over again to build up a solid tattoo.
Summary: Test the marker on your skin first. Rub baby powder on the design.

Problem: Article: You should clean your storage case for your contact lenses each day before placing them back in the case. Use a sterile solution or hot water to clean the case and allow it to air dry before replacing your contacts. Let the case air dry upside down with the lids off. You may find it easier to clean the case when after you put your contact lenses in your eyes since this will provide plenty of time for it to dry. Replace your case for your contact lenses every three months. Before you even remove your contact lenses, you may find it helpful to fill the case halfway with new, clean solution. This will make it easier to transfer the lenses directly into the solution rather than trying to fill the case with a lens still in the palm of your hand. Never reuse old solution. Make sure you use sterile solution and not saline solution. While saline will keep lenses hydrated, you can't properly disinfect them without the right solution. Always use your eye-care professional's suggested solution for your type of contact lenses. With the lens in the palm of your clean hand, wet the lens using the correct solution for your type of contact lenses (as suggested by your eye-care professional). Then softly use the pad of your finger to rub the solution thoroughly along the lens. This helps remove any buildup or microbes on the lens more than simply soaking it in the solution alone. To avoid damaging or scratching the lens with your fingernail, start at the middle and rub to the outer edge, using gentle pressure. Remember to get both sides. You should thoroughly clean your contact lenses daily to reduce the risk of eye infections or other contact-related complications. Rubbing the lens can help breakdown any buildup, but you should use a little more disinfecting solution afterward to help wash it away. Then you can gently place the clean lens into the fresh, clean solution that you already have waiting in the case. Make sure you place it on the side for the corresponding eye. You may need to place more solution in the case after you place the contact lens inside. Make sure the case has enough solution to completely cover the lens. To avoid potentially mixing up your contact lenses, you may find it easier to do the process from beginning to end with one eye at a time. In this case, repeat the process for the opposite eye. To ensure that your contact lenses are completely disinfected, they must sit in the solution for the amount of time indicated on the product. For most solutions, this will be at least four to six hours, so overnight is sufficient. This also gives your eyes time to rest and helps to avoid eye strain.
Summary: Clean your lens case before using it. Put new, clean solution in the case. Clean the lens. Place the contact in the case. Repeat the process for your other eye. Leave your contacts in the solution as directed.

Problem: Article: You cannot shred raw beef. Instead, you will need to shred the beef after you have already cooked it. Let the beef cool slightly before shredding it. For this method, it needs to be cool enough for you to safely touch without burning your skin. Place the beef on your cutting surface and hold it steady with your non-dominant hand. Make sure that your hands are clean and dry. Identify the direction of the beef grain. Scrape the tines (prongs) of the fork along these grains, ripping off portions of cooked beef as you go. It will be easiest to hold the beef so that the grain runs to and away from you. As you scrape, draw the fork down the length of the grain and toward you. You will need to continue scraping the fork along the grains of your beef roast until all the meat has been shredded. Pause occasionally during the process to manually remove pieces of beef from the fork whenever the tines get clogged. If you see any gristle in the beef as you work, discard the gristle, then continue shredding. Shredded beef can be used immediately, or you can store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you plan on storing the shredded beef, place 2-cup (500-ml) portions inside airtight containers and pour enough of the cooking liquid over the beef to moisten it. This cooking liquid prevents the beef from drying out. If you cannot use the beef within three days, place it in the freezer and store it for up to three months. Thaw the beef in your refrigerator, or place the contents of the container in a small saucepan and heat it over medium-low until the beef is adequately warm.
Summary:
Use a cooked roast. Hold the roast steady with one hand. Shred off the beef with one fork. Repeat as needed. Use or store.
