It is not always necessary to use a mat but it can accent certain colors in your poster and frame it nicely. You may not want a mat when framing a vintage poster or a poster of a classic work of art but that is completely your choice. You will want a color that can go with everything, including your room, the frame and the picture. It is usual to put a white or light colored map on top of an accent color. The accent color would be a color that matches the general tone of the poster. There can be multiple general tones of the poster so you can choose whatever looks best to you and fits the rest of your room. It is also your choice whether you use two mats or only one. Black and white pictures will do best with cool whites or grays, or even black. You do not want to upstage the poster if using a mat. Choose colors that work well with a width of at least 1.5 inches (3.8 cm). Smaller widths can easily be used for posters because they are so large to begin with. As always though it is your personal choice. You also do not want the top mat to be lighter than the lightest color in the picture or darker than the darkest color in the picture. Knowing where you will put the poster will help you decide on the particular frame you should purchase because you will know the general color scheme and theme of the location. If you do not know where it will be placed or it is a gift then that is not a problem. There are plenty of generic frames that will look good in a variety of locations. You will need the length and width to determine the size of the frame you must purchase. The thickness is important because many frames will only accommodate very thin posters and you should be aware of the required depth before buying. If you are using a mat be sure to include the dimensions (width, length and thickness) of the mat when measuring. The extra space in the frame can allow for the decorative or protective background mat and prevent the frame from damaging the poster's edges. The frame must accommodate both the poster and mat. Measure the dimensions of the area where you will insert the frame rather than the exterior size of the poster. If you measure only the exterior of the edges of the frame then you will have a hard time fitting the poster into the space. Choose a frame that has the appropriate style for the room in which it will be placed as well as your personal preferences and the particular poster. Wood frames usually have a more elegant and classy look while metal frames show a more modern or clinical look. Some plastic frames have been finished to give the appearance of wood or metal. These plastic frames are often cheaper and lightweight, which can be useful when framing posters. Acrylic frames can also be useful in that they might be clear, which means they won't cover up any of the graphics. Posters are usually quite large so it is best to choose a frame that is thin to balance out the shapes. Thinner frames will also emphasize the poster, making it stand out more. If you want to create a more dramatic or bold look then choose a standard or wider frame. Look for a poster frame that has higher-quality plexiglass, such as Acrylite OP-3, that is 1/8 inch (0.31 cm) thick. Although regular glass is always an option, it can break or trap moisture inside the frame, damaging the poster. Lower-quality plexiglass may not prevent the poster from yellowing over time. Higher-quality plexiglass can also be made so that it is glare-free and is much lighter weight than glass can be, making it ideal for large frames such as for posters. Plexiglass can also be UV-resistant, which is important if you are hanging the poster in an area that receives a lot of sunlight. Plexiglass is more prone to scratches, even though there are scratch-resistant types. Large frames that fit posters can often be quite expensive so consider searching your local thrift stores for options. You may find frames that have pictures in them that you can remove to repurpose for your poster. Even if the frame is not the right color, if it is wood then you can repaint it later to a color of your choice. It is not always necessary to use poster backing, but you may choose to use it for a more professional look. It is important that the poster backing is acid-free, to avoid quickly fading and damaging the poster. Some frames come with the backing already inside the frame.

Summary: Decide whether you will use a mat. Choose your mat if using one. Decide where you will put the poster if possible. Measure your poster's length, width and thickness with a measuring tape or a ruler. Choose a frame that is bigger than your poster's dimensions if you are using a mat. Choose a frame with the right style. Consider a frame that is quite thin. Buy a frame with higher-quality plexiglass. Buy a frame from a thrift store to reduce costs. Buy acid-free poster backing for your frame.

Start by using a scratch-free microfiber cloth for a general rub-down and preliminary cleaning. Wipe down the exterior of the case, and get rid of any easy-to-remove lint, dirt, and wax. You may use a little distilled water to help you along in your task; for more difficult grime, dampen the cloth using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. But only use a very small amount of liquid. Dry is best, if possible. Your AirPods and their storage case are not resistant to liquids, so be careful to not get any fluid in the charging ports, or on the AirPods themselves. A swab gives you pinpoint accuracy, and lets you muscle through the gunk. If necessary, dampen the swab with distilled water to loosen dirt and wax. If you have really difficult-to-remove, caked-on dirt to contend with, moistening the end of a swab with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol should do the trick.

Summary: Give the case general cleaning. Dampen the cloth with a little liquid if necessary. Use cotton swabs to rub free any dirt or stains on the outside of the case.

Dogs learn best through positive reinforcement and they quickly learn the best way to get it. Every time your dog is able to go to the bathroom in his designated spot, reward him with a little treat, lots of praise, and a scratch on the head. You can, of course, reward your dog for other things, like learning how to sit and stay. All good behavior should be rewarded. When you're treating your dog for going to the bathroom in his spot, give him a treat and praise right after he finishes relieving himself. Don't give it too early or too late, or he won't associate it with going to the bathroom in the right spot. Some people have had success using the bell method instead of a treat. When your dog goes to the bathroom in his spot, you ring a bell or pleasant-sounding chime as part of his reward. The dog will come to look forward to the sound of the chime, which should only be used in this specific situation. The drawback here is that, eventually, you won't want to keep using a chime or bell every time your dog goes to the bathroom. Initially phasing it out might be confusing to the dog. Whenever you're taking your dog to the bathroom or talking about it, keep your voice light and pleasant. Never raise your voice or take on a menacing tone, because your dog will start to associate his bodily functions with punishment and fear. If your dog makes a mess inside, you can withhold praise, but don't yell at the dog or make him feel ashamed. If using verbal cues, such as "outside", "go potty", or "good dog" be consistent. The repetition of these words along with the action and environment will reinforce where you want your dog to relieve himself. Dogs don't respond well to punishment. It scares them and instead of learning to perform well for you, they learn to fear you. Never yell, hit, or do anything that could cause your dog to feel afraid. Do not rub your dog's face in his mess. Contrary to some beliefs, this does not teach a dog not to go to the bathroom in the house. The dog will not understand what you're doing and you'll just end up scaring him.
Summary: Give your dog treats and praise each time he successfully goes outside. Time the reward correctly. Consider using a bell or chime to aid in training. Keep your voice and manner light and friendly. Never punish the dog for making a mess.
