At minimum, you should wear safety goggles and heat-resistant, fire-resistant gloves. Also note that you will need to handle the stainless steel object with another device, like tongs or a vice. Everything you use should be both fire-resistant and heat-resistant to prevent accidental burns. You'll need to prepare enough coffee grounds to cover all sides of the stainless steel object you wish to antique. If you've recently made a pot of coffee, you can use the spent grounds from that. Otherwise, pour enough warm to hot water over a fresh batch of grounds and give the grounds a few minutes to absorb the moisture For small, narrow objects like screws, you can fill a small cup with your prepared grounds. For larger objects, coat the bottom of a shallow tray with the grounds, instead. Hold the metal object with tongs or a vice, then pass the flame of a lighter over the entire length of the object, heating it thoroughly. Continue rotating and passing the flame over the stainless steel object until the metal begins to darken in color. For larger objects or a more controlled flame, consider using a propane tank with a lighter attachment instead of a handheld lighter. The stainless steel will reach temperatures just beneath 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius), so you need to work very carefully to prevent accidental burns. As soon as the steel object darkens, quickly dip the heated portion into the prepared coffee grounds. Hold it in the grounds for 15 to 30 seconds. The water in the coffee grounds should quickly cool off the metal. Theoretically, the steel should be safe to touch once you remove it from the grounds, but you should still proceed with caution. In addition to cooling off the metal, the coffee should dye the stainless steel, giving it the appearance of antiqued metal. If you want to dye the steel even darker, reheat it and submerge it into the coffee grounds again. You should be able repeat the process several times without damaging the metal. If you only want to dye one side or area darker, focus the heat on that area and only apply the coffee grounds to that spot. When you're satisfied with the results, you can quickly polish the steel object by vigorously rubbing it with a soft cloth. Wait until the object is cool enough to touch before polishing it. Polishing the piece should buff away coffee granules and some of the dark dye. It should also make the steel a little shinier. After you dye and polish the piece to your liking, the project is complete. The results should last indefinitely.

Q: To refresh and deep clean your hat, sprinkle it with an absorbent powder. Choose a powder that is close to the color of your hat to avoid discoloration. For instance, opt for: Wheat germ for darker colored hats Baking soda for a white hat Corn meal for beige or tan hats Leave your hat for several hours to allow the powder to soak up dirt and oils efficiently. Be sure to place the hat upside down on its crown rather than on its brim. The brim can lose its shape if left on a flat surface for a long time. Shake off as much of the absorbent powder as possible. Remove the rest of the powder by using a vacuum cleaner with a detachable hose, or a cordless mini vacuum cleaner. Place a breathable cloth (such as cheesecloth) over the hose or mini vacuum to reduce the suction power and avoid damage to the hat. Turn the sweatband in your hat down to allow it to dry. This will ensure that the sweat and oils do not soak into the felt. Leave the hat to dry for several hours, or overnight. If drying out the sweatband does not effectively freshen up your hat, wash it. Avoid getting water anywhere other than the sweatband. Use a toothbrush, water and a mild soap (e.g. shampoo) to gently scrub the sweatband. Carefully rinse the sweat band and blot the hat dry.
A: Sprinkle absorbent powder on your hat. Let the hat sit. Remove the powder. Dry out the sweatband. Clean the sweatband.

Article: Do you want to donate the clothing or keep it for the next child? Whatever you decide, you need to make sure the outgrown items are not cluttering your drawers. Once a season go through all the clothing and take out the items that have been outgrown. Keep only those pieces that are still in good usable condition and discard anything that is heavily stained, torn, or used. If you want to donate the clothing, wash it and place it in large clean bags and donate it to either friends or look for local organizations that collect baby clothing. It is also possible that you were given hand-me-downs from cousins or friends that you want to store for later on. It's very important to get those items ready for when you will need them. Remove any stains and wash the clothing in mild detergent. Use breathable boxes for storing, like canvas, or plastic, but stay away from using cardboard as moths can easily get in and they also can easily get damaged by water. Divide the clothing according to size and to season and label each box. For example: 12-18 months, Summer and Fall. Aside from writing labels for boxes, you can also tape pictures of garments that are stored in the box. You don't want to just wash and fold them with the rest of the daily clothing. Clean the special outfits according to washing instructions. If this is a christening outfit for example, and you want to keep as a memory, you might need to dry clean it. Wrap it in acid-free tissue paper to prevent yellowing. Once cleaned and wrapped, they can be stored in boxes, separately or not. Just make sure those items don't get squished!
