INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use water and a dedicated car washing solution/soap. Follow the bottle's directions carefully. Your goal is to remove any dirt or grime so that you can focus on the clear coat directly when you sand and buff. Once you have completely cleaned your body, allow it to dry by gently wiping down the surface with a towel. Soak for at least 60 minutes in clean water to prevent sharp edges from scratching the clear coat. Next soak a rag in water with a little bit of soap. Use about a cap of soap per gallon of water, or as directed by your soap label.

SUMMARY: Clean the exterior of your car. Allow the surface to dry. Soak all of your sandpaper. Soak a rag.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You might be able to catch your cat simply by beckoning it or calling to it. If it comes near, try picking it up. However, never try to touch an animal that seems fearful or upset, since a scared cat can quickly become violent. If yours reacts negatively when you try to pick it up, leave it alone and try later. Signs that a cat is scared or upset include: Tail held straight up and stiff Ears folded back Paw raised, with or without exposed claws "Striking" with its paw Low meowing or growling Hissing or spitting Hair raised on end Arched back You might also be able to catch your cat when it least expects it. Avoid staring the cat in the eye or trying to reach for it when you first see it, since these gestures can be perceived as threatening. Instead, sit somewhere quietly and calmly, and wait for your cat to jump in your lap. Then, gently grab it. Handling a cat when it does not want to be picked up or is scared can lead to some scratching or biting. If you are trying to catch a cat in a hurry (such as one that has suddenly run outside) just grab any towel or blanket to wrap around the cat once you find it. This will help to calm the feline, and also protect you from harm. If you have time to put on gloves and long sleeves, these can also help protect you. Once you find your cat, grasp it firmly in your hands (but without squeezing it) and pick it up. If you have a blanket or towel, throw it over the cat to slow it down, then grab the cat within the blanket and clutch it securely to your chest. Grabbing a cat too forcefully or holding it awkwardly will make the situation much worse when you are trying to catch it. If at all possible, place one hand behind its front legs and your other hand under its hindquarters, lifting gently. Never pick your cat up by its neck or by its legs alone.

SUMMARY: Try a direct approach. Wait for the cat to come to you. Protect your skin. Grab the cat gently.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While herbal remedies are generally considered safe, they may interfere with any medications you're taking and could worsen any other health conditions you have. Let your doctor know what treatment you're thinking about taking and ask them if it's safe for you to use.Make sure you tell your doctor about all other medications and supplements you're currently taking, including the dosage and frequency. Herbal remedies may interfere with other nutritional supplements you're taking, causing them to have different effects. While there's no scientific evidence that tea can prevent or stop headaches, many people find relief from drinking the hot beverage. Tea that includes herbs that have been shown to relieve headaches are often better at this, although you don't get as much of the herb from drinking a tea as you would from taking a supplement. Teas that might help headaches include: Green tea Peppermint tea Ginger tea Chamomile tea Feverfew tea Feverfew supplements are available anywhere you normally buy herbal supplements, and come in capsules, tablets, or liquid extracts. Generally, you can take 100 to 300 mg of feverfew up to 4 times a day. Because commercial feverfew products aren't standardized and often contain other ingredients, such as melatonin, specific dosage recommendations aren't possible. Discuss the supplement with your doctor and read the dosage instructions on the bottle carefully. Don't take feverfew if you are allergic to chamomile, ragweed, or yarrow. If you take feverfew regularly, taper off with smaller doses before you stop taking it completely. Otherwise, you could suffer rebound headaches, as well as anxiety, fatigue, muscle stiffness, and joint pain.

SUMMARY: Check with your doctor before using any herbal remedy. Drink herbal tea to relieve stress and reduce inflammation. Take feverfew to help manage chronic headaches.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use your fingers to pull straight up on the nozzle while holding the perfume bottle on a level surface. Set the nozzle aside when it pops off. Discard the cap and nozzle if you don't want them for decorative purposes. This step applies for standard spritzer tops. Plug-style perfume tops do not have a nozzle, as you typically dab the perfume on yourself. You can skip right to cleaning the bottle. Inspect the top of the perfume, and cut away any plastic encasing the metal that connects the top to the bottle with a knife or sharp scissors. Discard the plastic. Gently, use the edge of a knife to go around the base of the exposed metal connector. Pry up the metal all the way around the top of the bottle until it begins to loosen. Take care not to apply too much pressure against the thin glass neck of the bottle, as this can cause it to chip. Hold your perfume bottle securely with one hand, while using the other to grip the loosened metal with a pair of pliers. Applying gentle pressure, pull the metal straight up until it comes off the perfume bottle. Take care not to spill any remaining perfume in the bottle as you pull the metal connector off. Discard the metal connector in the trash. Pour your perfume into another glass vessel if you intend to save it. Screw on the top securely. Pour any perfume you don't want to save down the sink and rinse the drain with hot water. You can discard the remaining perfume in the trash if you like, but your garbage will have a strong scent until you take it out. Turn the sink on so the stream of water is gentle rather than fast. Fill the perfume bottle with hot running water, and then dump it. Repeat the process at least twice. A strong stream of water may cause splashing and disperse residual scent throughout your bathroom. Heat 12 cup (120ml) of white vinegar in a mug in the microwave at 20-second intervals until it is warm but not hot. Over the sink, pour the vinegar into your rinsed perfume bottle until it is of the way full. Plug the opening to the bottle with your finger, and shake the bottle for 30 seconds. Let the vinegar-filled bottle sit in the sink for at least an hour to remove some of the scent. After an hour, pour the used vinegar down the drain and rinse the vinegar away with water to dissipate any residual smell. Fill your sink with hot water deep enough to cover your perfume bottle. While it fills, add a few drops of dish detergent. Submerse the bottle in the soapy bath for 5 minutes. Use a bottlebrush to clean the interior of the bottle with soap. Kitchen gloves can help if the water feels warm to the touch. Rinse the bottle with clean water. Place the bottle outside or on a sunny ledge indoors to dry. If the bottle isn't dry in 24 hours, you can speed the process using a canister of compressed air to spray the interior dry. Follow the manufacturer's directions on the compressed air canister, including any potential safety precautions.

SUMMARY:
Take the exterior cap off the perfume bottle and pull off the nozzle. Cut off the plastic valve and loosen the metal around the perfume bottle's neck. Use needle nose pliers to remove the metal around the neck. Discard or reserve any remaining perfume. Rinse the perfume bottle out with hot running water. Wash the bottle out with warm white vinegar. Wash the bottle in a hot water and dish detergent bath. Dry the bottle outside in bright sunlight.
