Don't share with anyone else, as you can spread radioactive particles to them. In fact, it's best to designate a separate bathroom for yourself during this time, if at all possible. Don't share hand towels in the kitchen, either. Even being near a person can transfer radiation from you to them, so you must avoid contact as much as possible. Sleep in a bedroom by yourself, and don't let anyone else use the bed even when you're not in it. While you're still a source of radiation, stay at least 3 feet (0.91m) away from other people at all times. They should only come closer for very short periods, such as a minute or two if it's absolutely necessary. Staying 6 feet (1.8m) or farther away is even better, particularly with children and pregnant women. It's best to be in a different house away from children and pregnant women if at all possible. In fact, avoiding contact with pregnant women for 20 days is best, while you shouldn't get closer than 6 feet (1.8m) to a child in the first 3 days. Limit car rides with other people. If you need a driver, sit in the back seat in the opposite corner from the driver. Staying in a hotel puts others, such as the cleaning staff, at risk since they do not know they are handling radioactive material. They will also wash the linens with the other guest linens, potentially putting other guests at risk, too. If you need to separate yourself, have other household members stay in a hotel instead.

One-sentence summary -- Keep a towel, hand towel, and washcloth for your use only. Sleep by yourself. Maintain distance from other people. Avoid staying in a hotel.

If you're making a mask for kids, a soft fabric like cotton is the best material to use. The mask will be breathable, and it will be more comfortable for little kids. It's also a good choice if you're making a mask for an adult but you'll be somewhere hot, like a party. You can also use felt, although this could be hotter and more uncomfortable on the face. If you're making a fabric mask, you can decorate it with fabric accents once you have the basic mask cut out. You can also add fabric to masks made from other materials to give the mask more depth and detail. Once your mask is complete, you'll need to find a way to attach it to your face. Poke two holes in the side of the mask, and put one end of an elastic band through each hole and tie them off. Make sure you measure the elastic before you tie it off. You don't want the mask to feel too tight or to keep falling off! Measure it by wrapping a piece around your head and making a mark where the elastic ends.

One-sentence summary -- Use fabric for a mask meant for use by little kids. Add extra fabric. Use elastic to wear it.

Mold and mildew love warm, damp environments, so store your comforter in a spot that will stay cool and dry. Try to pick a spot that's off of the ground and indoors. Stay away from sheds or other outdoor storage locations bugs have an easier time accessing these spots. A linen closet is the best option for storing your comforter it keeps it off the ground and in a clean closet. If you don't have a linen closet, you can also store your comforter on an extra shelf or in a clean cabinet. If you have a piece of furniture that acts as a storage container, such as an ottoman, you can store your comforter there. Storing your comforter in a plastic bin is fine as long as it's sealed in a protective bag as well. To prevent the feathers in your down comforter from being damaged, don't put anything on top of the sealed bag. If the comforter will be going in a closet stacked with several other things, place the down comforter on the very top.

One-sentence summary -- Look for a cool, dry location. Choose a linen closet or similar spot, if possible. Don't store anything on top of your down comforter.

If you do plan to use herbicide on the tree, then the hack and squirt method can be just as effective as the girdling method with even less work involved. The hack and squirt method uses precise chops to coat with herbicide instead of an entire band around the whole tree. Start by getting an axe or a hatchet. The hack and squirt method requires fewer cuts than girdling, but you will still use the same herbicides. Read the entire label on the herbicide to figure out how much to make. Mix the herbicide in a spray bottle before you begin cutting. Commonly available, effective herbicides include glyphosate (Roundup or Killzall) and triclopyr (Garlon or Brush B Gon). Wear protective clothing, like safety glasses, long sleeves, and gloves before working with any herbicide. Using the axe or hatchet, make a downward cut into the trunk of the tree roughly 2 inches (5.1cm) long. The cut needs to be deep enough to get into the lighter-colored sapwood, so you can effectively introduce the herbicide. Once you have made the cut, pull the head of the axe or hatchet to the edge of the cut rather than out completely. Then use the spray bottle to spray the herbicide down the top side of the hatchet, allowing it run down into the deep sapwood portion of the cut. Make sure you spray in the herbicide immediately before the softer wood in the cut has a chance to start drying out and hardening. Your specific brand of herbicide will instruct you regarding how much herbicide to spray into each cut. Various specially made injectors are also available for this purpose if you need to treat several trees. Your specific brand of herbicide will have directions for how many cuts you need to make based on the circumference of the tree. Most trees will require additional cuts with the spacing 13 inches (2.57.6cm) apart from edge to edge. For each cut in the trunk that your brand of herbicide suggests, you want to add the same amount of herbicide. Continue using the injector or the flat side of the axe or hatchet to spray the herbicide into the cuts until you've gotten each one.
