INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For most floors, one or two gallons of water will suffice. If you need to clean a larger area, you can add an extra couple of gallons incrementally. The warmer the water, the better it will be for loosening stuck-on dirt and grime. Before you start mopping, make sure you've cleared the floor of all removable furniture, appliances and other objects that might get in the way or be damaged by water. If the bucket is too big to fit under the sink, try filling it your bathtub. Aim for a ratio of roughly to 1 cup of vinegar for every gallon of water. Swish the vinegar solution gently to make sure it's blended. Vinegar is mildly acidic, which makes it useful for dissolving hardened residue. Diluting the vinegar will prevent it from bleaching the color or wearing down the finish of your floor tiles. Other high-potency types of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, will also get the job done. Work your way across the tiles, mopping in a circular or side-to-side direction. Make sure to spread the vinegar over the entire surface of the floor. Don't forget to run the mop beneath nearby furniture and along the baseboards. As you mop, you should be able to see the results of the vinegar right away. Be careful not to saturate bordering wood or carpet flooring with the vinegar solution. Empty the bucket and refill it with clean, warm water. Go back over the floor once more, wringing out and rewetting the mop every few feet. This will help clear the tiles of loose residue and any remaining traces of vinegar. Soak up excess water with the mop, a squeegee or an absorbent towel, then allow it to air dry completely. If you skip the rinsing step, the dingy water will dry on the floor, leaving behind streaks and splotches. Making sure that the grout has a chance to dry out is essential for preventing the growth of mold and mildew, which thrive in warm, moist spaces.

SUMMARY: Fill a bucket with hot water. Add a cup of distilled white vinegar. Mop the tiles with the vinegar solution. Rinse the floor with fresh water.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Do your strengthening exercises 2 to 3 days per week. An easy way to build strength in your hand is to squeeze on a small ball, such as a stress ball. Do 10-15 squeezes per hand. Another way to build strength in your hands is to play sports that involve catching and throwing a ball. You could play catch, handle a basketball, or toss a tennis ball against a wall. You should also stretch your hand daily before and after your work or hobbies. If you do repetitive movements with your hands, you may want to stretch more often. Eat a nutritious, balanced diet that ensures you'll get adequate calcium, magnesium, potassium, and B vitamins. At a minimum, drink 8 glasses of water each day. If you exercise a lot or work in extreme heat, then you should increase your intake. If your doctor approves, you can also take supplements to increase your intake of nutrients. Gripping items that are too large or too small for your hand can cause discomfort and cramps. Although many people don't have to worry about this, those with big or small hands should check their grip on the objects they use often. Look for tools, utensils, workout equipment, hobby gear, and household items that fit your grip size. If you spend a lot of time on the computer, then your mouse could be contributing to your hand cramps. Luckily, there are many different mouses on the market, so you can find one that better fits your hand. Look for one that does not require you to fold your hand in order to use it. Additionally, you should be able to scroll with minimal movement of your fingers. You may want to invest in an ergonomic computer mouse, especially if the hand cramps are chronic or if you use a computer for long periods of time.

SUMMARY: Build strength in your hands and forearms. Nourish your body with water and nutrients. Make sure that items are correctly sized for your hand. Use a computer mouse that is comfortable.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: They are generally what you use when getting your nails professionally done. UV lights use ultra-violent waves to dry your polish quickly and into a solid coat. These lights are often recommended for gel coats. Instead of using a product to quickly dry your nails, there are polishes out there that advertise quick drying times. Use these polishes to get a quick manicure. Nail polishes add thickeners to properly stay consistent. You can make your polish thinner, and thus easier to evaporate and dry, by adding a commercial drying drop to the polish after application. Your favorite polish brands may carry dry drops specifically designed for their polishes. Look at your local retailer for more information.

SUMMARY: Place your hands under a UV or LED Light. Use quick dry polishes. Dry with drying drops.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most temples will have a space designated for your shoes: usually a series of cubby-holes along one of the temple's exterior walls. Removing shoes shows respect for the temple and the deity statues within. This is not optional: removing shoes, sandals, or any other footwear is a mandatory rule of every Hindu temple. Socks are fine, you can keep wearing them. However, if the temple floor is made of marble or any other slippery stone, you want to remove socks so you don't fall. Traditionally, upon entering a Hindu temple, you'll see an array of deities and statues arranged around the temple walls. Begin with the deity on your left. From there, continue to walk through the temple in a clockwise direction, pausing before each deity you come across. Many temples have separate queues for men and women, and you will have to follow it accordingly. If you'd like to know ahead of time if there are separate queues for each gender, you can call the temple and ask in advance. When you finally get to see the statue closely, you may join the palms of your hands near the heart into a "namaskara" (a traditional pose) and bow. This is the minimum act you should perform in front of each statue as a respectful gesture. Practicing Hindus will often bow or fully prostrate themselves in front of statues as a sign of respect and reverence. If you feel comfortable, you can prostrate yourself as well, although it's not required.

SUMMARY:
Remove your footwear outside the temple. Circulate through the temple. Respectfully view the statues.
