Problem: Article: One of the toughest stains to get out of a sink, especially porcelain bathroom sinks, are rust stains. As a result, don't lay any metal in your sink. Because of the presence of moisture, metal will quickly rust and leave a stain. If you have a rust stain, take an old eraser and wipe it against the stain. If the rust stain won't come out with baking soda or an eraser, you may need to use an abrasive cleaner like Comet cleaning powder. However, make sure whatever product you use is safe on the material your sink is made of.
Summary: Avoid laying metal in your sink.

Problem: Article: There are lots of ways to make an over-sized sweater look cute and over-sized sweaters are a great, comfy choice for fall and winter. You'll feel snugly and warm and look cute. Belt your sweater to give it shape and style. You can either do a skinny belt with the folds of the sweater hanging over it, or a big belt. Keep the belt around your waist to give you shape. Wear your over-sized sweater with leggings and boots. Leggings and boots make sure great fall and winter choices. Try to avoid wearing patterned leggings with a patterned sweater, because that will be too much patterning! In the grey gloom that can come with autumn and winter, a pair of fun, bright leggings or tights can enliven a sweater outfit. You can pair them with a sweater-dress or a long sweater. Patterned leggings or tights are great to pair with a plain, monochromatic sweater. For example: you might wear a pair of Monet inspired leggings (with overtones of purple, green, and yellow) with a black or grey sweater (you might even go for a long, green sweater if you're feeling a bit daring!). Solid, bright colored leggings or tights are fantastic ideas for autumn and winter. As an example you might pair solid, lime-green tights with a more subdued, patterned sweater (bonus points if there are hints of lime-green in the patterning of the sweater). Jeans are so incredibly versatile and they look fantastic with sweaters. It's the perfect no-fuss autumn or winter look. Different types of sweaters, and different types of jeans will give you a different look. A pair of ragged, holey jeans with rolled up cuffs looks great with an over-sized or big chunky cable-knit sweater. A perfect look for that lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon. Pair your nice jeans with a lovely, jewel-toned v-neck or a cardigan over your shirt to give you a nicer, more put-together look. Good for an afternoon stroll through the changing autumn leaves. Different sweaters will create a different look, depending on the jeans. You can wear a nice cardigan over a shirt, or a casual v-neck with your ragged jeans. The possibilities are basically limitless. There's nothing classier than pairing a collared shirt with your lovely jewel-toned v-neck sweater. Make sure that the collar is fully outside of the collar of your sweater. You can tone down the business look with a pair of jeans, or dial it up with a pair of nice, dark slacks. You can pair any of your sweaters with a leather jacket and it will look good (a leather jacket is a fantastic accessory!), but a turtleneck sweater looks especially good. Pick a sweater in a darker color and add a long necklace to enhance the look. There are lots of things you can add to enhance a sweater outfit. Jewelry is always a great addition: a chunky necklace with your v-neck sweater enhances the line of the outfit while something like a pair of dangling earrings paired with a cable-knit sweater gives you a little sparkle. Scarves are also great accessories, as well as being good for keeping you warm and cozy in the colder seasons. Boots are also great pair with sweaters: over-sized sweaters, a nice sweater and jeans, a sweater dress. They give a little bit of class to an outfit and keep your legs warm!
Summary: Try out an over-sized sweater. Wear fun leggings or tights. Pair your sweater with jeans. Give it a collar. Pair the sweater with a leather jacket. Accessorize your sweater.

Problem: Article: Bulbs need to be 'tricked' into believing they have survived winter in order to start flowering. This means they need to experience a sustained cold environment whilst they are dormant. The ones you buy commercially are likely to have been chilled for you. If you are supplying your own bulbs, you'll need to recreate this cold environment yourself. You can place the bulbs in a fridge salad drawer, but keep them well away from fruit, especially apples, because they emit gases that will inhibit the bulbs' later flowering. You can also try using a cool cellar if you can achieve an ideal temperature of between 30 and 50 F. Your bulbs need to stay at this cool temperature for around 4 months. Not all commercially purchased tulips will stand forcing. Check the label when you are shopping for bulbs. As a general rule, shorter tulip varieties tend to do better than taller varieties when forced. The essential thing is to select good healthy bulbs that are large and firm. Reject any bulbs that seem rather small or are soft or mushy. After chilling or purchase, store your bulbs in a cool dry and dark place until you are ready to force them. You don't want your bulbs to dry out completely, so keep them out of drafts. Inside a paper bag in a cool cupboard is ideal. You don't always have to get a specially designed vase to force tulips. The most important thing to remember is that the bulb should not touch the water, otherwise it will rot. The bulb does need to sit right above the water though, so the roots can grow down into it. You can get special glassware vases for forcing bulbs in garden stores or online. You can try filling a receptacle, like a tall vase, with a few handfuls of decorative pebbles or glass beads. Then fill with the vase water. The bulb should sit on top of the stones but still not touch the water. The bulb roots will need a few inches of water to grow down into. If you're improvising with your own vessel, just remember that the tulip needs to sit above the water but shouldn't touch it. Fill your receptacle with a few handfuls of pebbles or glass beads. Top it up with cool water and place the tulip bulb on top. The pointed part of the tulip bulb should point upwards. The base of the bulb should not touch the water, but the water should be just a few millimeters below the bulb. It's fine to force several bulbs in the same vase, but avoid the bulbs touching in case one rots and spreads the infection to its neighbor. Remember, bulbs may swell during forcing, so give them about an inch of space each.
Summary:
Trick the bulbs using a cold environment to make them flower. Pick large, firm bulbs of short tulip varieties to have the best chance of flowering. Store bulbs in a cool, dry, dark place after the chilling process. Choose a properly-sized vase. Try the alternative stone-filled vase method. Place your bulb on top without touching the water.
