Article: Dump the baking soda directly into the water. Try to spread it evenly throughout the bowl so it covers all of the surfaces. Wait until the baking soda sinks to the bottom of the toilet before moving on. Slowly pour the vinegar into your toilet. Work in a circular pattern so the vinegar evenly distributes throughout the bowl. As it mixes with the baking soda, it will start to fizz and bubble due to a chemical reaction. Make sure not to add the vinegar so fast that the fizz goes over the edge of your toilet or else you'll have a bigger mess to clean up. As the vinegar and baking soda react, they'll break down the clog so it can fit through your pipes more easily. Use another bathroom or wait until 1 hour has passed before trying to flush it. If the water still doesn't go down, try adding the same amount of baking soda and vinegar, but let it sit overnight.

Article: Make sure that your hair is clean and freshly-washed first. Detangle it with a wide-toothed comb first, then apply a generous amount of leave-in conditioner to it. Run the comb through your hair again to help evenly distribute the leave-in conditioner. This method works best on damp hair, but you can work with dry hair as well. It is very similar to the LOC (leave-in conditioner, oil, and cream) method used before styling hair. This method is safe for your hair, but be aware that it can weaken and break your hair over time. Part your hair down the center, from your forehead down to your nape. Part it again, this time going horizontally across the back of your head from ear-to-ear. Twist and clip 3 of those sections out of the way. Go to the remaining section of hair that you left loose. Apply some shea butter to it first, then follow up with olive oil. Run a wide-toothed comb through your hair to help make it smooth and to distribute the products. You can use other moisturizing products and oils instead, if you prefer. Use a smaller hair tie for this rather than the standard sized one. It will help reduce bulk and make the style more comfortable for you. When tying the ponytail, make sure that the hair along your scalp is pulled taut. Use tangle-free hair ties to prevent snagging. Don't wrap the hair tie repeatedly around the same spot as you would when tying off a ponytail or braid. Instead, wrap and twist the hair tie down the length of the ponytail in a crisscross fashion. You should be able to cover 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) of hair this way. Pull your hair taut while doing this. Start wrapping the next hair tie where you finished wrapping the last one. Remember to pull your hair taut as you go. Depending on the length of your hair, plan on using 6 to 7 hair ties for the entire section. When you have one last wrap left on your hair tie, fold the ends of your hair down, and wrap the hair tie one last time. This will make it more secure. When you are done, you'll have a bunch of Medusa-like tentacles all over your head. Don't worry, however, they won't be left in your hair for very long. If you need to, wrap the banded hair around your head first, then secure them with bobby pins. Wrap a satin scarf around your head to hide the banded hair and secure it. Take the scarf off first, then remove any bobby pins. Make sure that your hair is completely dry, then carefully pull the hair ties off one by one. Do not tug or yank on the hair ties, or you will risk damaging your hair. If your hair isn't dry, re-pin the banded hair, cover it with the scarf, and wait until it is dry.

Apply a moisturizing leave-in conditioner to your hair. Divide your hair into 4 sections. Apply moisturizer and oil to the remaining hair section. Tie the section into a tight ponytail. Pull the ponytail taut and wrap a hair tie down its length. Continue wrapping hair ties around your ponytail until you get to the end. Repeat the process on the remaining sections. Cover your hair with a scarf. Remove the bands the following day.
Article: If you have a spider infestation in your home, basic spider killer sprays can be purchased to treat the infection. These are usually used outside the home. You spray the perimeters of your home, as well as any cracks or crevices spiders may use to enter your house. Choose a spray at a local department store. You should know the basic build of your home before going in so you know what sprays are safe for your house. Go around the perimeter of your home. Spray around the house's foundation. Also, look for potential entryways for spiders. Pay special attention to cracks in windowsills and garage entryways. Specifics regarding safe use depend on the type of spray you're using. The bottle or package should provide safety instructions. Always read these carefully before using any spider sprays. If you're wary about using chemicals around your home, essential oils can help. Try creating a mixture using essential oils and see if you notice a difference. Spiders tend to dislike the taste of essential oils. You can purchase essential oils online or at a local health store. For best effect, use neem oil and tea tree oil. Mix about two tablespoons of dish soap into warm water. Then, add 5 drops of tea tree oil and an ounce of neem oil. Sprinkle this mixture around your home in areas where you've noticed spiders. Be careful, however. Make sure you do not leave the spray close to children or pets. Tea tree oil can be harmful if swallowed. There are a variety of insecticides you can use to ward off spiders. Stop by your local hardware store and review your options. Dust insecticides are best used if you're treating cracks and crevices. They can be easily applied to hard-to-reach places in your home. Powder insecticides work best for spot treatment. If you've only seen spiders in a few spots in your home, consider a powder insecticide. If you're trying to create a boundary around your home, look into a liquid insecticide. They are usually mixed with water and then used to cover large areas around the home. As always, make sure to carefully review safety instructions of any products you buy prior to use. Many people feel more comfortable with electronic repellants as they don't involve spraying your home. Electronic repellents generate electromagnetic waves that repel spiders and other pests. You can find them online or at a hardware store. Read product reviews carefully before making a purchase, however, to make sure the repellent works for most people. If you have a serious spider infestation, you may not be able to treat it on your own. In this case, you should hire a professional exterminator. You should be especially proactive about this if you live in an area where poisonous spiders are common.
