Mix 1 part vinegar with 5 parts warm water in a large bucket. The precise amounts you need will largely depend on how much you need to clean. This solution is meant for clothes, blankets, towels, and other removable fabrics that can be washed in a washing machine. Note that some synthetic fabrics and delicate fabrics may not hold up well when exposed to acidic vinegar. Combine 1 part hydrogen peroxide with 6 parts warm water. This solution is safe to use on clothing and other fabrics. The amount you make will depend on how much you need to deodorize. As far as fabrics are concerned, this solution is recommended over the stronger hydrogen peroxide solution used to clean pets and people. Strong concentrations of hydrogen peroxide can damage clothes, but when diluted with water, it should be safe to use on normal fabrics. Avoid using this solution on delicate fabrics or "dry clean only" clothes. Dip your contaminated clothes and other fabrics into the diluted vinegar or hydrogen peroxide. Let them soak for 2 to 3 hours. For best results, use your hands to gently scrub the fabric for several minutes after dipping it into the solution. Doing so works the liquid in between the fibers of the fabric, allowing it to penetrate further and deodorize more of the smell. Items you might want to soak include pillow covers, slipcovers, curtains, and blankets, as well as any other fabrics that have the skunk smell on them. After removing your fabrics from the cleaning solution, wash them in a standard warm wash cycle. For extra deodorizing power, add 1/2 cup (90 grams) of baking soda to the washing machine at the beginning of the wash cycle. If possible, air dry the fabrics in the sun. The fresh air is better at getting rid of the smell than drying in the dryer.

It's important to drink eight to 10 8-ounce glasses of water a day. This keeps the discharge thin and more fluid, making it easier to drain. Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeine, which could dehydrate you. Don't worry if discharge drains down the back of your throat. The acid in your stomach will kill off anything that may be causing the infection. Fill a 1-quart pot with water and boil it for a couple of minutes. Remove the pot from the heat. Steam should be coming off of the pot. Cover your head with a large, clean cotton towel, place your head over the steaming pot and close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth for 5 counts and then in and out through your mouth for two counts. Repeat this for 10 minutes or as long as there's steam. Blow your nose after the treatment. You can do this every two hours or as often as your schedule permits. Keep your face at least 12 inches away from the water. You want the heat to enter your nose and throat, but don't burn yourself. Use one drop of essential oils or 1/2 teaspoon of dried herb for each quart of water (like you have in your facial steam pot, if using). To test any herb or essential oil for sensitivity, steam your face for one minute, then remove yourself and wait 10 minutes. If you don't notice a reaction, reheat the water and repeat the steaming. The following essential oils have either antibacterial, antifungal or antiseptic properties (meaning they can kill bacteria and other microorganisms that can infect the sinuses): Spearmint or peppermint: Peppermint or spearmint may be irritating to some. Both peppermint and spearmint contain menthol which has antiseptic and immune-boosting properties. Thyme or oregano: These herbs boost the immune system and have antibacterial properties. Both increase circulation of the blood by opening up blood vessels. Lavender: This dried plant and oil is soothing and can help with anxiety and depression. It also has antibacterial properties. Black walnut oil, tea tree oil, oregano oil, and sage oil: These can treat a fungal sinus infection and they have antiseptic properties. If you don't want to use essential oils, you can use cooking herbs. Place 1 quart of water in a pot, bring it to a boil, turn off the heat and add 2 teaspoons of oregano and 2 teaspoons of basil. For added heat, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Cover your head with a towel and breathe in the steam through your nose (and your mouth, especially if you have a sore throat or a throat infection). Do this as long as the steam is rising. Like any of the steam treatments, the water can be reused. Simply reheat it till it begins to steam. Run a bath using water that's as hot as you can comfortably manage. Add 12 to 15 drops of one essential oil or a combination of oils. Soak for as long as you like and breathe in the steam. You should get lots of rest if you experience chronic sinusitis. Soaking in a bath is a great way to relax. Another way to make sure your sinuses don't dry out is to invest in a humidifier or vaporizer. This can be especially useful if you live in a very dry environment, or during the winter when heating systems can cause your sinuses to dry out. Clean portable humidifier units daily, wiping all surfaces dry and filling the water tank with fresh water. If you do not keep your humidifier clean, mold and bacteria can begin to grow and they will be dispersed into the air and breathed in when the humidifier is running. Don't let the humidity in your house reach above 50%. Run the humidifier or vaporizer only when necessary. To get the same effect you can also run a hot shower with the bathroom door closed and breathe in the steam.

The cooking time is the same as when cooking with a plate. It will be easier to make a lot of pancakes quickly using a plate, but a mug can give you a novel, single-serving pancake. Pour water into the mug (about half a mug's worth) until the mixture becomes a paste of medium thickness. Mix with a teaspoon until the consistency is smooth. You can add more water if the mixture is too thick, and more flour/pancake mix if the mixture is too thin. The pancake is fully cooked when there is no runny mixture left in the mug. If the mix is still runny, then microwave the mug for 30 seconds longer. When your mug pancake is thoroughly cooked, it is ready to eat. Drizzle syrup, sugar, or butter into the mug, and enjoy!
