In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Moisture of any kind can warp the weave of sisal and lead to browning of the fiber, so it is important to address spills as they happen. Blot the spot dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing, as this will only spread the moisture. Take note of whether the spill left a stain. Even a slight change in color at the time of the spill can quickly alter the color of the rug. If you notice a stain forming, blot up the spill and then treat the area quickly. Use a brush or sponge to apply a small amount of a mild fabric detergent to the area. Make sure the area isn't oversaturated with the cleaning solution. Follow immediately by blotting the area with lukewarm water and a clean, undyed paper towel or cloth. Continue to rinse until all sudsing has stopped. Any cleanser used on the rug should have a neutral pH, like mild dish soap. Check the label for a pH value of 7. If your stain is still there or there is an odor, use 1 part vinegar mixed with 1 part water for a cleaning solution. Use the same process for an oil-based stain, but opt for a tetra solvent instead of a mild detergent. If a sisal rug gets wet, even if it is just with water, it is important to dry the rug as quickly as possible. Use a low heat setting on a hair dryer or a large fan to help you get the rug to dry faster. Dry the carpet as soon as you can to avoid warping or additional water marking.
Summary: Blot spills as they happen. Treat potential stains. Dry the rug.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can use any sturdy thread that you like, but some work better than others. Heavy embroidery floss is a good choice because it's strong and comes in a variety of colors. However, you can also use clear fishing line, which is even stronger and won't show up if there are any gaps in the garland. If you don't have any thread or fishing line on hand, you can even use dental floss to string your popcorn. In fact, using a waxed variety can make the task even easier because the kernels will easily slide along the floss. If you're using thread for your garland, consider using red, green, or a shade that matches the decorating scheme for the rest of the tree in case it shows in any gaps between the popcorn. If you're making a garland longer than 5 feet, it's best to leave the thread attached to the spool so it's easier to work with. However, cutting the thread in lengths of 5 feet or less makes them more manageable, and you can always connect them later by tying the ends together for longer garlands. Thin needles typically work best when you're making a popcorn garland. Choose one with a large eye too, so it's easier thread. Make sure to tie a knot at the end of the thread to ensure the kernels don't fall off when you begin to string them. You'll want to push the needle directly through the center of the kernel and pull it through to the end of the thread. Continue adding popcorn until the garland is full. There shouldn't be any gaps between the pieces of popcorn, so push the kernels all the way down to keep them tightly strung on the thread as you go. Get creative with your garlands by mixing the popcorn with other items, such as fresh cranberries, dried orange, lemon, or lime slices, and cinnamon sticks. You can create striking patterns by alternating the other items with the popcorn. Fresh cranberries start to go bad after a couple of days, though, so you'll want to spray the garland with shellac before putting it on the tree. You can also dress up your garland by dotting the popcorn kernels with craft glue and sprinkling colorful glitter across them. Allow the glue to dry fully before placing the popcorn string on your tree. You'll need to leave enough thread at the other end of the string so you can tie another knot to keep the popcorn in place. If you plan to connect several shorter garlands, make sure that there is enough thread at the end of each so you can tie them together. If you're making a long garland and left the thread attached to the spool, you'll need to cut it when you finish the string. Then just tie off the end with a knot as you would with a shorter garland to secure it.
Summary: Choose your thread. Cut the thread. Thread the needle. String the popcorn. Secure the finished garland.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Foods that are high in sugar and high in fat are generally also high in calories. In addition, they're generally not very high in nutrients like vitamins and minerals. Eating too many of these types of foods can make it difficult to maintain a balanced diet. Maintaining a balanced diet does not mean avoiding favorite items like sweets or high fat indulgent foods like macaroni and cheese. Choose these foods in moderation and enjoy them occasionally and in portion controlled servings. Decide what moderation is for you. It may mean splitting dessert every Friday night or going out to your favorite burger place twice a month. Drinking liquid calories is a common way to throw off a balanced diet quickly. They're high in calories and sugar and can rapidly increase your total intake of sugar. Monitor how often and how much you're consuming items like: beer, wine, mixed drinks, sodas, sweetened tea or juice. Although 100% fruit juice does have some nutritional benefit, juice still contains a relatively high amount of sugar and should be consumed in moderation. Drink four to six oz occasionally. Skip sodas and sugary drinks. If you still need the caffeine, consider coffee or tea with skim milk and limited sweetener. Limit alcoholic beverages as well: one drink or less daily for women and two drinks or less daily for men. An occasional glass of wine or sweetened tea is OK. Again, it's important to enjoy these items in moderation. Exercise is an important part of a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Although it doesn't necessarily affect your diet, regular physical activity can help maintain your weight and health when you occasionally indulge in favorite foods. Aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio activity each week. Exercises like jogging, biking and swimming are good options. Aim to participate in strength training at least two times a week. Lifting weights or going to a Pilates class are good options.
Summary:
Limit your sugar and saturated fat intake. Limit alcohol and other liquid calories. Engage in physical activity.
