article: Popular standard degreasers like WD-40 aren't the best option for a garage door. Instead, purchase a lithium-based grease at a hardware store or online. There are also certain greases that are made specifically for garage doors. Do not use oil. Garage door grease will typically come in an aerosol or spray can. Oil is susceptible to dirt and dust buildup and is more likely to drip than garage door grease or lube. Read the label to make sure that the grease that you are using is appropriate for your doors. Slowly lift your garage door up manually and spray each hinge as it meets the bend of the track. This will lubricate the moving parts on the door and will make opening and closing the garage door much smoother. Use one or two sprays on each hinge. Your hinges should be covered in lubricant. The rollers are the circular moving pieces on your garage door and are attached to each of your hinges. Inside of these rollers are small ball bearings that need to be lubricated for your door to open and close smoothly. Use the thin hose attachment to spray the grease inside of the rollers. Wipe out any excess lubricant so your door doesn't become unbalanced. Any exposed ball bearings must be thoroughly lubricated. Don't spray any lubricant on nylon rollers. The springs can usually be found at the top of the garage door and must be fully lubricated as well. The bearing plates are the moving circular parts on both sides of the springs. Spray down the outside of the springs and near the center of the bearing plates, then open and close your garage door to spread the grease around. You will most likely need a step ladder to reach the springs and bearing plates. If your springs are making noises, you need to grease your springs. If your springs are damaged or bent, have them replaced before moving on. Lubricating the lock will make locking your garage door easier, and can prevent rust in the long run. Point the lubricant towards the lock's keyhole and spray it once to lubricate it. Once you're done lubricating the lock, finish lubricating your garage door by spraying the grease on the large armbar at the top of your door. The rail is the portion that your chain rides on and should run along your garage's ceiling. The top portion of the rail is what your chain actually rides along, so it's the part that needs to be lubricated. Spray down the top of the rail and then spread the grease around with a rag. The chain comes with a natural protectant on it that makes it so that you don't have to grease it regularly. Spraying the bottom of the rail doesn't do anything. Consult the owner's manual to see how to lubricate and maintain your specific garage door opener.

article: A magnetic duster or Swiffer duster will be perfect. Magnetic dusters make use of static charge to attract and hold dust, while a Swiffer duster's specially designed material grips and locks in dust so that it doesn't go flying. Magnetic dusters are typically a couple of feet in length, so they'll work well for a person of average height (though you might still need a step-stool). If you go with a Swiffer duster, you'll also need a handle extender which is cheap and can be bought alongside the regular duster at any home goods store. An extendable duster handle and pack of disposable heads can be purchased for less than $15. In order to attract dust, your magnetic duster needs to build up the proper static charge. To accomplish this, take a simple plastic shopping bag and grip it around the head of the duster, then rub it back and forth to fluff the dusting fronds and create static electricity. Your duster should now be able to "magnetize" nearby dust without even touching it. Watch out when touching metal surfaces after using a magnetic duster. Any time you work with static electricity, there's a chance of a slight electrostatic shock, which can startle and sting. If you're using a Swiffer duster or another kind of long-handled disposable duster, start by attaching a fresh dusting head or pad. Used pads that are clogged with dust won't hold the new dust that they come into contact with, and you might even lose dust and make a new mess. Fit a new pad or dusting head onto the end of the extendable handle and you'll be ready to take on fresh dust. Hold the handle of the duster overhead and drag the duster over the top of the fan blade. The grippy material should capture even thick coats of dust in a single pass, making the fan a breeze to clean. Repeat this process of the remaining blades. Go slowly so you don't sweep dust onto yourself! The fan may be especially dirty or the dusting head or pad may run out of usable area before you're finished. Should this happen, pause long enough to switch out the dusting head. If you don't you may just end up sweeping dust off the fan and into the floor. Duster replacements are inexpensive, so it should be no problem to make sure you've got more than one to get the job done right.

If you do have a partial ACL tear, your doctor will most likely give you a brace or cast to wear while your ACL recovers. Luckily, most partial ACL tears do not require surgery. You will, however, have to protect your knee from further injury. The best way to do this is to wear a brace or cast that will keep your knee stabilized while it heals. Your doctor might give you crutches to use along with your brace. Crutches are used to keep you from putting pressure or too much weight on your knee while it heals. While your knee is healing, it will need to rest as much as possible. Try to keep weight off of it at all times. You should sit with your knee elevated so that it can begin to repair itself. When you sit down, prop your knee up so that it is raised above your hip. If you are lying down, prop your knee and leg up so that it is above your heart and chest. To control the swelling and pain caused by your partially torn ACL, you will need to ice your knee every day. Write a bag of ice or an ice pack in a towel to keep the ice from directly touching your skin, as this could cause a burn. Keep the ice on your knee for 15 to 20 minutes for the best results. Any amount of time shorter than 15 minutes will not do much to control swelling or pain. Keeping the ice on your knee for longer than 20 minutes may result in the ice burning your skin. If your ACL is fully torn, or if your tear falls between a partial and full tear, you may need surgery for the knee to be fully repaired. If this is the case, you will have to have a graft done to replace the torn ligament. The most common graft used is the tendon of the kneecap or hamstring. However, acquiring tendons from donor knee is also an option. Talk to your doctor about the best option for your specific case. Talk to your doctor about going to physical therapy. After you have let your knee heal, you will have to begin rehabilitating your knee so that the injury does not occur again. Go to a physical therapist who can help you with increasing your range of motion, strength training, and stability exercises.
