It's okay to use an exercise mat, but choose a hard surface, like a tile floor. Start in a seated position with a bend in your knees. Keep your knees bent during the entire exercise so you don't have a curve in your lower back. The foam roller won't work on a soft surface, like your bed or carpet.

Summary: Sit on the floor with your knees bent.

Jackets have to be washed with proper care. The following steps will make it clear on how to wash your jacket: Check for any unwanted material in the jacket pockets and remove them. Now close all the zippers and Velcro flaps present in your jacket. This is to ensure that nothing unwanted goes in or comes outside while washing. Dry-brush the jacket with a soft bristled nail brush or a toothbrush to remove any mud, grease or any easily removable stains. Use a minute quantity of spot fabric remover solution to ease the process. Now put a moderate quantity of waterproofing liquid cleaner like Granger's and Nikwax in the washing machine and use cold water for washing. These waterproofing liquids preserve the DWR (durable water repellent) layer of the jacket while ensuring to remove dirt, oils and stains without harming the DWR. These liquids will make your jacket work like new again and will restore its original performance. For stubborn grease and dirt use non biological detergent containing no softeners or conditioners provided the care label on your jacket allows it. Now machine wash your jacket at 30C (86F) for a short interval of time while ensuring that the jacket doesn't start bubbling while inside the washing machine. As the cycle gets over , put the jacket for Tumble drying at a low heat setting (Duration: 20 minutes or as instructed on care label) to rejuvenate the DRW layer.(Skip if care label doesn't allow tumble drying) Now hang the jackets in hangers and let them air dry in shade. If you prefer a hand wash then use a slightly lukewarm water with a little amount of liquid cleaner or special cleaners to wash your jacket. Avoid using detergents and detergent based soaps or fabric softeners as they affect the DRW layer of waterproof jacket. After washing once Wash under running water to get rid of any leftovers. Also, Avoid scrunching or kneading as this will crush the feather stalks. (Duration: 15min approx.) After washing just roll the jacket or shake it to get rid of excessive water. Now hang it in a hanger under shade for air drying. Unlike jackets trousers have a little different build up and thus a different cleaning process. Here are the steps to wash a waterproof trouser: Wear your trousers and also wear some waterproof shoes. If your trousers are made up of rubberized Flexothane then wash them with a solution of hot washing up liquid and use a hog brush to brush away the stains If you are wearing the woven type then you can probably wash them with cool washing up liquid with a little biological powder but make sure you brush the mud off first. Now as the washing is over, try drying with a sponge or just jump here and there a little to get rid of all droplets. Now remove them and leave for air drying in a hanger.

Summary: For jackets: For Trousers: Your waterproof jacket and trousers are now stain proof and are now as new as when they were purchased.

The rash might appear earlier if you contact a lot of the urushiol oil. You'll only have a rash where the plant's oil touched your skin, so it often appears in a line. In most cases, the rash will last for about 2-3 days. The rash may spread from scratching if you still have oil on your skin, so the line might not be straight. If you have a rash that's spreading after you scratch it, then it's likely poison ivy or one of its cousins, poison oak and poison sumac. However, keep in mind that other types of rashes can spread as well. The oil from a poison ivy plant can linger on your pet's fur or on clothing that came in contact with the plant. Unfortunately, this oil can cause rashes. If you suspect your pet or other items have contacted poison ivy, look for a splotchy red rash on the affected area. Wash clothes that came in contact with poison ivy immediately and separately. Handle them as little as possible. If your pets came into contact with poison ivy, wash them immediately. The irritating oil can remain on their fur and spread to things they touch. You should also wash anything you know they touched, as oil could remain on the surface. Pets usually won't develop a rash after contacting poison ivy. You likely won't notice your pet got into poison ivy unless you see them do it or develop a rash yourself after touching the contaminated fur. Blisters are normal with poison ivy rashes, and their size can vary from pin-sized to dime-sized. Your blisters may pop and release a clear fluid, but this is normal and won't spread your rash. You'll also have inflammation as a result of the rash, which can cause swelling. Blisters usually develop within 1 to 14 days after you encounter the poison ivy. Never pop blisters on your own! With a poison ivy rash, you'll likely see more swelling than with other types of rashes. Watch for pus coming from the blisters. If you notice pus, then your rash is likely infected and you should see a doctor for treatment as soon as possible.
Summary: Watch for an itchy red rash line 24-48 hours after you contact poison ivy. Check for rash splotches if a contaminated pet or item touched you. Watch for blisters and swelling around the affected area.
