In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're dyeing an old candle, the easiest option is to simply reuse the original jar. However, almost any type of container will work, provided it's heat-safe, has an open mouth, and is large enough to hold the melted wax. Metal cans, shot glasses, tea cups, and mason jars can all make great DIY candle molds. Use gelatin molds or empty tea light holders to pour multiple miniature candles. To make free-standing candles with the wax exposed, try cutting the top off of a quart-sized milk carton. You can then tear the cardboard away once the wax has set. Take an uncut wick and tie one end around a wooden dowel or pencil. The opposite end should be just long enough to reach the bottom of the container. Set the dowel over the open mouth so that the wick is perfectly centered and hanging straight down. A wooden clothespin or strip of tape can also make a decent wick holder in a pinch. To create a double wick for a larger candle, simply tie a second wick 1.52 inches (3.85.1cm) away from the first. It may take up to an hour for the wax to solidify completely. As it does, it will assume the shape of the surrounding container and you'll have a brand new homemade candle in your favorite color. In the meantime, avoid touching the wax. Doing so could leave behind depressions, smudges, or other imperfections. Be careful not to disturb the wick while the wax is setting up, as well. Placing the freshly-poured candle in the refrigerator or leaving it in another cool area may help speed up the hardening process. Untie or cut the wick from the dowel. Take a pair of scissors and snip the wick about 14 inch (0.64cm) from the surface of the wax. Your new candle will then be ready to light and add a warm glow to any room! Clipping the wick too short may make the candle difficult to light, while leaving it too long will cause it to burn inefficiently.
Summary: Select a container for the new candle. Position the wick in the empty mold. Allow the wax to set up. Trim the wick.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You will need to use a vacuum to clean out the length of the vent and, unless you have access to an industrial vacuum, it is unlikely that you'll be able to do this from the roof. Before climbing up to the roof, get behind the dryer to vacuum out the vent. There should be clamps that connect the exhaust pipe of the dryer to the vent. Use a screwdriver to release these so that you can vacuum. You can put the tube of the vacuum directly up the vent. However, there are special attachments that can be clamped onto the end of the tube that are designed to pick up lint from a vent. These can help vacuum the vent. Once you have safely ascended onto the roof, examine the area around the vent guard. If any shingles are covering the vent, or the screws that attach to the guard, peel back the shingles. If they are held in place with tar, use a utility knife to cut around the shingles and secure access to the vent. When you get on the roof, you should find that the vent is covered by a guard. If you can, remove it. You might find that there are gobs of lint stuck on in. You can remove some of this with your hands. If the guard is secured in place by nails, place a cat's paw pry bar under the head of the nail and hit the pry bar with a hammer to release the nails. After you have removed the nails, hold on to them so that you can reinstall them later. After the nails have been removed, pull up on the guard to remove it. You might need to twist it as you pull to dislodge it. You can purchase a vent trap cleaner separately or a kit with attachments to your vacuum. Use it to gently remove lint from the guard and other exterior surfaces. Push the brush inside the vent and then twist it. This will get lint trapped in the brush. Then pull the brush out to remove the lint. Repeat until you are no longer picking up lint. Because much of the lint concentrates near the ends of the vent tube, this basic cleaning and the vacuuming on the ground floor should remove most of the lint. If you can see significant amounts of lint that remain beyond your reach, call a professional. If you removed the guard, put it back into place. Be sure that it is intact so that no animals or debris can enter the vent. If you find that the guard is not intact, call a professional to have it replaced. Debris falling into the vent could seriously compromise your dryer.
Summary: Vacuum on the ground floor. Peel back shingles that obstruct the vent on the roof. Remove the guard to the dryer vent on the roof. Use a vent brush to clean the surface. Put the vent brush inside the vent. Reinstall the guard.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If the manufacturer's label is still attached to a plush toy, check it before washing the toy. There may be specific instructions on how to wash the toy. Some toys, for example, may not be machine washable or might require a special type of cleaner. If there's no label, google the type of toy. If it's a popular brand, you may be able to find manufacturer's instructions online. Most plush toys can be safely washed in the washing machine, particularly cotton and polyester blends. Wash them with your regular clothing on a gentle cycle. Alternatively, you can also do a load of just plush toys. If the toy is very dirty or soiled, sprinkle some baking soda on it before putting in the machine. Then, add a cap full of white vinegar to the washing machine during the rinse cycle. If you cannot find a label, it is relatively safe to assume that the toy is machine washable. Most plush toys are. Put the toys through an extra rinse cycle to ensure that all detergent comes out. Unless they are labeled "felted," wool toys cannot go into the washing machine. For these toys, try to spot clean stains. Dab the stain out using a mild soap and a wet cloth. Let the toys air dry. If the wool toys are very dirty, you can try hand washing them in the bathtub with a wool soap. Do not dry wool toys in the drying machine, however, as this can damage them. Lay wool toys on a sunny windowsill instead. If your toy is not wool, it can be put in the dryer. You can put the toy in a pillowcase beforehand to protect it as it in the dryer. Dry on high for 15 minutes. If the toys are still a little wet, let them air dry. Wool toys should be air dried in a warm spot.
Summary:
Check the label. Wash toys in the washing machine unless otherwise directed. Clean wool toys by hand. Dry plush toys in the dryer.
