The stored air is unsafe to breath and can be flammable. Always release the air outdoors, away from other people. Keep your clothing, hair, and jewelry away from the tank's hose. Also, keep the tank away from open flames. For their safety, avoid letting children operate the tank. Slide the air hose over the brass fitting near the pressure gauge. It should fit on the opposite end of the small, ringed spout you used to fill the tank. Connect the hose's other end directly to the item you wish to inflate. An air hose usually is included with the tank when you purchase it. You can get new hoses at home improvement or auto parts stores. Look near the brass fitting to find a small, handy wheel. Turn the wheel counterclockwise to open the tank's valve. You should hear air flowing out of the tank right away. Air will continue to flow until you close the valve again. Watch the inflatable object closely to ensure it is filled at a safe level. Over-inflated items are liable to burst. When an item is inflated to the correct size, it will feel firm to the touch. It should not bulge or appear near bursting. Listen closely for any hissing coming from the tank, since this indicates that air is still flowing. Make sure the valve is closed completely. When you're ready, detach the hose to release any air stuck inside of it. If you plan on storing the tank for a while, stay safe by letting all the air out of it.

Summary: Release the air in a safe, well-ventilated area. Connect the air hose to the tank and inflatable item. Turn the tank's wheel to the on position. Inflate the item to a safe size. Spin the valve clockwise to shut off the air flow.

Before you begin cleaning the washing machine, make sure the machine is completely powered off. Just to be on the safe side, you may want to consider unplugging the machine from the electrical outlet. Cleaning the machine while it is still on could create a dangerous situation for you or damage the machine. Accumulation of mold and mildew on the components of the washing machine is a major cause for unpleasant odor. Use a clean sponge or washrag to wipe down to exterior surface of the machine. Make a mixture of 1c (240mL) warm water and one tablespoon of bleach and dip the sponge in it. Be sure to wring out any excess water before you begin scrubbing. You should wear rubber gloves any time you are handling bleach cleaning solution. Try to get the bleach cleaner in all of the cracks and crannies of the washing machine. You can use a Q-tip dipped in the bleach/water solution to get into really hard-to-reach areas. Get rid of any dirt or grime from the washing machine gasket and the seal at the opening of the machine. Remove the gasket and use a damp cloth or paper towel to scrub away any residue. You can also add a tiny bit of bleach cleaning solution to warm water and use this to clean it. A dirty seal is one of the biggest problems that leads to odor in washing machines. Cleaning this regularly can really help a lot.

Summary: Unplug the washing machine. Wipe down the outside surface. Clean the gasket and seal.

Obesity has been linked to kidney damage. If you are overweight, or are afraid you are going to become overweight, exercise daily. When you are overweight, your kidneys have to work overtime to keep you healthy. You should try to exercise for 30 to 45 minutes, four or five days a week. Some exercises you can incorporate into your work week include running, cycling, swimming, and walking. Try to pick one (or a couple) that you enjoy so that you are more motivated to work out each day. If you are elderly, the recommended exercise each week is 15 minutes for three days a week. . Tobacco smoke does serious damage to your kidneys. There are more than 4000 particles and gases found in cigarette smoke, many of which can damage your kidney. Cigarettes are also linked to kidney fibrosis, which is when your kidney tissue turns hard, causing kidney failure. Cigarette smoke can also cause hypertension, which is elevated blood pressure. Alcohol can also cause kidney damage. When metabolized, alcohol becomes aldehyde, a harmful chemical that can hurt your kidneys and liver. Alcohol also increases your chances of heart disease and diabetes. Any drug that you put in your body gets absorbed by the blood and then filtered by the kidneys. These drugs can have a harmful effect on your kidney and could lead to kidney failure if your kidneys have to process too many harmful toxins. For example, cocaine may cause myolysis. Myolysis is the breakdown of muscle mass, which can result in kidney failure. This is particularly important to do if your bacterial infection is in your kidney or urinary tract. You will have to take antibacterial medication to treat these conditions, but it will be well worth it, as a kidney dealing with a bacterial infection can be a major health risk.
Summary: Exercise regularly. Avoid smoking Stop drinking alcohol. Avoid drug abuse. Treat any bacterial infections you have.
