Article: Add a squirt of dish soap to a bucket of warm water. Dip an ultra-fine-grit cleaning pad (e.g., a gray Scotch Brite scouring pad) into the water and wash the components thoroughly. Don't use steel wool, sandpaper, or heavier-grit cleaning pads, as these will scuff up the plastic or vinyl too much. You want to just barely scuff the surface to help the paint adhere, and remove surface dirt and grime. If you have compressed air available in your workshop, or have a spray can of it handy, use it to blow-dry the pieces you've washed. Compressed air will dry the parts quickly and remove any dust created by the cleaning pad. If you don't have compressed air, let the parts air dry, or wipe them down with a lint-free cloth. Then wipe over everything with a tack cloth to remove any dust. Trisodium phosphate (TSP) comes in powdered form and must be mixed with water according to the package instructions. It is also a very potent cleaner, so you must wear long clothing, eye protection, a breathing mask, and rubber gloves, and work in a well ventilated area. Mix up only as much as you need and wipe down the parts with a cloth dampened with TSP, then let the parts air dry. If you have vinyl components and would prefer not to work with TSP, you can find aerosol vinyl prep cleaner sprays at automotive stores. Just spray on a thin coat, let it set up for about 30 seconds, then wipe it off with a lint-free cloth. If you want a TSP alternative for plastic parts, use denatured alcohol. Dampen a clean cloth with the alcohol, wipe down the components thoroughly, and let them air dry. No matter which product you use, follow all listed safety precautions and work in a ventilated area. Use a vacuum with powerful suction and remove every bit of dirt and debris that you can from the fabric. For heavily-soiled seats, you may want to use a steam cleaner, then let them dry and follow up with the vacuum. If your fabric has a suede finish with a grain to it, brush the grain in its natural direction after vacuuming it and before painting it.

Clean plastic and vinyl components with soap, water, and a cleaning pad. Use compressed air to dry the plastic or vinyl components. Wipe vinyl or plastic parts down with TSP. Vacuum fabric seats before priming and painting them.
Article: Regular exercise is an excellent way to promote overall good health and a sense of well-being. If your condition allows some form of exercise, try to work it into your daily routine. Aim for 30 minutes of daily moderate exercise, or check with your doctor about what amount and types of exercise you can do. For example, if you have arthritis, you might find that high-impact exercises are uncomfortable, but something gentle, such as swimming or riding a recumbent bicycle, may be a good option for you. If you have a condition that makes it difficult to breathe, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) or asthma, then you might only be able to manage taking short, leisurely walks. Eating well can also go a long way towards improving your overall health. Look for simple ways you can improve your diet, such as by buying less processed foods and more whole foods, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, and lean proteins. Make sure to ask your doctor about any important dietary changes you should make for your condition. For example, if you have chronic hypertension, then your doctor may recommend switching to a low sodium diet, such as the DASH diet. If you have diabetes, then you will have to learn how to control your blood sugar with your dietary choices. Being well-rested can help to promote an overall sense of well-being and make managing your chronic condition less stressful. Make sure that you go to bed at about the same time every night and wake up at the same time every day to develop a good sleep routine. Some other good strategies for getting a good night's sleep include: Arrange your bedroom so it is a relaxing oasis. Keep your bedroom dark, cool, quiet, and tidy. Use your bedroom only for sleep. Avoid working, eating, or doing other daytime things in your bed. Turn off screens in your bedroom at least 30 minutes before bedtime, such as your phone, TV, or computer. Don't drink caffeine or eat large meals within 3 hours of bedtime. Along with other important lifestyle changes, setting aside time to relax and enjoy yourself is an important part of your overall well-being. Try to set aside at least 15 minutes every day to do something you enjoy or that you find relaxing. Some good options include: Spending time on your hobbies. Taking a long bath. Going for a massage. Practicing deep breathing. Setting boundaries is important when you have a chronic illness since you might not always feel up to socializing or doing things for people. However, sometimes people will continue to ask and push if you don't have clear boundaries. Let people know about your limitations and that if you don't feel up to doing something, you'll have to turn them down or leave early to take care of yourself. For example, if you have asthma and a friend asks you to help them move, you might tell them something like, "I wish I could, but my asthma makes it hard for me to do physical labor." Or, if you have depression and a friend won't stop pressuring you to come to a party with them, you might say, "I'm just not feeling up to it and I don't want to go. Please don't ask me again."
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Exercise regularly to improve your energy levels and boost endorphins. Follow a healthy diet to improve your physical health. Aim for 8 hours of sleep every night. Make time to relax every day. Set and maintain healthy boundaries to protect yourself.
Article: A slow song will be easiest for you to sync your movements when dancing. Consider something romantically themed or significant to your partner, like a favorite song. Some DJs accept requests. Requesting a song and asking when that song will be played will help you time your approach. Make full eye contact with you dance partner. Ask her if she would like to dance, but try to make your request in a way that is true to yourself. This will let her know that this is a special moment you want to share with her. You might ask: May I have the pleasure of this dance? I would be honored if you would do me the pleasure of having this dance. There's no one else I'd rather dance with. Shall we? It's important that you respect her decision, no matter the outcome. Just as it was difficult for you to ask, it will likely be difficult for her to refuse and hurt your feelings. If you notice hesitation, try to be graceful, and never force yourself on your partner. It can alleviate a lot of stress if you come up with a backup plan before making your request. Approach a friend you are comfortable with and explain your situation. If your friend is willing to be your backup, even if you get shot down, you can still have a blast on the dance floor. Be careful not to lead on your friend romantically. Some may have hidden feelings with you, and if this is the case, they may interpret your request as insensitive. Hold out your hand to escort her to the dance floor. Wait until she takes your hand, walking slightly ahead of her to lead her to your spot on the floor.

Choose your moment. Request a dance. Wait for her response. Take the floor.
