Problem: Article: You should have clean hands whenever you are touching the area around your band-aid to prevent the spread of bacteria and possible infection. Use clean water from a tap to wet your hands. Warm or cold is fine. Turn off the tap and apply soap to your hands. Rub your hands together to create a lather with the soap making sure to coat the back of your hands, between your fingers, and underneath your fingernails. Continue scrubbing your hands for 20 seconds. This is about as long as it takes to sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice in a row from beginning to end. Rinse the soap off of your hands with clean water from the tap. Dry your hands with a clean cloth towel, paper towel, or you can air dry them. As an alternative to washing your hands, you can use a hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol. Like washing your hands, cleaning the area around your band-aid can help prevent infection or the spread of bacteria during removal. Fill a clean bowl with clean tap water and mild liquid soap. Warm or cold water is fine, although warm (not hot) water may feel more comforting. Soak a clean washcloth in the soapy water and wring it out to remove excess moisture. Gently wash the skin around and on top of the band-aid with the wash cloth. Avoid putting direct pressure on top of the band-aid as you do this. Instead, give it a quick wipe with the cloth. Gently pat the area dry with a clean, dry washcloth. Choose something not too thick that it blocks the cold of the ice. Don't use a gel pack because it won't get the adhesive cold enough. Ice can make the adhesive brittle so it pulls off your skin easily. The time it takes here depends on how strong the adhesive is, and the overall size of your band-aid. If the band-aid doesn't release easily, continue icing it. Repeat this until the band-aid is able to come off entirely. It's easiest to slide a fingernail underneath an edge and gently prying it up.
Summary: Wash your hands with soap and clean water. Clean the area around the band-aid. Make an ice pack by wrapping several ice cubes in a paper towel or thin cloth. Hold the ice pack against the parts of the band-aid with adhesive. Test to see if the band-aid is released by lifting a corner.

Problem: Article: Different stainless steel watches require different bracelet detachment methods. Some will need only a simple click of a button to detach their bracelet from their watch head. Others will need a specialized screwdriver to release the bracelet from the watch head. Consult manufacturer directions for more information about how to remove the watch from the bracelet. Submerge it in a small bowl filled with soapy water or rubbing alcohol. Soaking your watch bracelet in this way will loosen the grit and grime that it has accumulated. The length of time you allow your watch to soak depends on how grimy it is. If it is quite dirty, leave it submerged for a few hours. If it is not too dirty, leave it submerged for about 30 minutes. If your watch's head doesn't detach from the bracelet, wrap paper towel or plastic wrap around it, and bind it in place with string or a rubber band. Alternately, take your watch to a jeweler for a professional cleaning. Dip a soft-bristled toothbrush in rubbing alcohol or soapy water. Remove your bracelet from the liquid and use the toothbrush to gently scrub away discoloration or dirt that has collected within the gaps of the watch band. Some chemical cleaners contain benzene or similar substances that can ruin stainless steel. They might also cause skin irritation, even when they've been cleaned off. Therefore, stick to soapy water or rubbing alcohol when cleaning your stainless steel watch.
Summary: Remove the watch from the bracelet. Soak your watch bracelet. Scrub between the links of the bracelet. Do not use chemicals when cleaning your watch.

Problem: Article: As soon as you notice dirt or grime on your Sunbrella fabric, brush it off with a soft bristle brush. Every week or so, spray a basic soapy water cleanser over the fabric and use a sponge to rub the cleanser in. This should bring the dirt to the surface of the fabric. Use a mild dishwashing soap that you'd usually use for handwashing your dishes. If the fabric doesn't seem like it's getting clean enough, consider applying another cleansing solution. Use a fabric cleanser specific to the type of stain you're trying to treat. Just spray this cleanser on and rub it in gently. For example, if you've used a soapy cleanser but realize that the fabric has mildew, you'll need to apply an extra cleanser that contains bleach to get the fabric clean. Depending on the amount of fabric you're cleaning, you can pour water over the fabric or just spray clean water over it. Continue to rinse or spray the Sunbrella fabric until all of the cleansing solution or soap is out. Let the fabric air dry completely. Avoid placing the fabric directly in the sun to dry, since this can cause the fabric colors to fade faster. When you're cleaning your Sunbrella fabric, avoid pulling, scrubbing, or tugging at the fabric. Choose a soft bristled brush instead of a firm brush to prevent stress to the fabric. This will extend the life of your Sunbrella fabric. To dry your fabric gently, you can blot it with a dry towel, but don't rub or pull the towel across it.
Summary:
Wipe daily dirt and grime off of the fabric. Use an extra cleansing solution for stains. Rinse and dry the fabric. Treat the fabric gently.
