Problem: Article: Put the hair-covered items in the dryer and turn it on a low-heat cycle, like permanent press. After 10 minutes, check the laundry. If there's still a lot of hair on the pieces, run them in the dryer for another 5 to 10 minutes. Clean the lint trap after tossing the clothes to clear all of the hair from it. Check the back of the bottle to find instructions on how much softener to use per load. Then, before turning on the washing machine, measure the right amount of fabric softener and pour it into the dispenser. Most fabric softener bottles have measuring caps that you can use to portion out the liquid. The dispenser in the machine itself may also have a fill line that you can use as a guide. The fabric softener dispenser will either look like a tall cylinder in the center of your machine or a small compartment towards the top of the machine, depending on your model. Never pour fabric softener directly into the drum of the washing machine. For older washing machines, read the manual to find out if you need to wait and manually add the softener immediately before the last rinse cycle. Newer models do this automatically. The acetic acid in vinegar softens fabric, which frees up the pet hair that's stuck in the material. Measure out 12 cup (120ml) of vinegar, then pour it into the fabric softener dispenser of your washing machine before turning it on. You can use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar if you'd like. If you have an older washing machine, you may need to manually add the vinegar before the final rinse cycle. On newer models, you can put it in at the beginning and the machine will automatically dispense it when it's rinsing. Check the manual for your washing machine first to make sure it's okay to use vinegar with your model. Dryer sheets eliminate static, which can keep hair stuck to the fabric. Place them in the dryer along with the wet clothes before you turn on the machine. If you have a light load of laundry, 1 sheet will work. For medium to heavy loads, use 2 sheets. For fabric with a lot of static, like flannel, use an extra dryer sheet. Dryer balls remove static and stray hair just like dryer sheets, but the balls are biodegradable and reusable. They're also free of artificial ingredients, so they don't have a scent. Set the balls, which are about the size of tennis balls, in the dryer with the wet laundry before drying. You can find wool dryer balls in the laundry aisle of big-box stores, or you can buy them from an online retailer. If the lint trap gets clogged while your laundry is drying, the hair can get spit back onto your clothes. Stop your dryer when it reaches the midpoint of its drying cycle and pull out the lint trap. Brush off any hair or lint that has accumulated, then replace the trap and resume the cycle. Depending on your dryer model, the lint trap is usually either on top of the dryer or just inside the door.
Summary: Toss the laundry in the dryer for 10 minutes before washing the clothes. Use fabric softener to loosen up hair from the fabric. Add white vinegar to the rinse cycle for a natural hair remover. Put 1 to 2 dryer sheets in the dryer as a scented static remover. Toss 3 to 6 wool dryer balls into the dryer for an eco-friendly alternative. Clean the lint trap halfway through drying.

Problem: Article: Prepare four large sheets of nonstick aluminum foil. Each sheet should be about four times as wide as the width of each salmon fillet. Brush the one side of each fillet using a total of 2 tsp. (10 ml) olive oil, spreading the oil over the fillets until thinly coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. The foil packet method is ideal for cooking salmon with a topping, like seasoned vegetables or chunky salsas. The packet causes the salmon to retain more moisture, and the topping soaks into the salmon, giving it even more improved moisture and flavor. For a simple topping, combine 2 Tbsp. (60 ml) olive oil with the chopped tomatoes, chopped shallots, lemon juice, oregano, and thyme. Place the fillet as close to the center as possible. The fish should be placed with the oiled side facing down. Situation the fillet with the shorter edges at the top and bottom, so that the fillet seems taller rather than wider. Loosely twist the top and bottom edges of the foil together into a slight spiral shape. Divide the tomato topping equally into four parts, and top each fillet with one part. Bring the non-twisted sides of the foil up and over the salmon and tomatoes, covering them completely. Bring the edges together and fold, creasing them together securely. Allow some air to remain inside the packet so that the salmon can cook properly, but avoid letting out extra air through the foil packet. The packets should bake for about 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Instead of opening up each packet before serving it, give the packets to your family or guests and allow them to open the packets themselves.
Summary: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius). Season the salmon. Create a topping. Sit one salmon fillet on one sheet of aluminum foil. Twist two ends of the foil together. Top the salmon fillets with your topping. Fold and seal the sides of the foil. Bake the salmon packets. Serve the packets whole.

Problem: Article: Go for jeans or pants in a straight cut for universally flattering length, whether you opt for a sexy form-fitting skinny style or a bootcut that floats straight away from the legs to the floor. Choose a dark wash on jeans when you want to slim any area of your legs or hips. Alternatively, you may want to add lighter wash or bright color to accentuate the legs and lend balance to a larger torso. Avoid fading and whiskering on denim, or too many embellishments on pockets and seams, in areas you do not want to widen. Find skirts and dresses that fall just above the knee for the most universally flattering look for the legs. Also try out a high-low hemline, which is shorter in the front and longer in the back, to get some more coverage while still showing off your legs for an alluring look. Look out for skirts and dresses that feature pleating or lines that fall vertically from the waist to make the lower body look longer. Try tights as a way to show off your legs while not actually showing bare skin if it makes you uncomfortable to do so, as well as provide sexy length to the leg. Choose tights in a similar hue as your skirt, dress, or shoes to help create the illusion of extra length in the legs. Try out tights with classic sex appeal like fishnets, lace, or thigh-highs. Choose control-top hosiery for additional support for your midsection if you wish. Go for a slit detail up one side or leg of a long skirt or dress, which helps elongate the leg while providing a sultry detail to an otherwise more covered look. If you're not ready to bare skin with a slit, try looking for vertical seams on the front of pants or skirts, which has a similar flattering effect. Wear heels to further lengthen the leg you show off with a slit. Accentuate the length and beautiful muscles of your legs by choosing a sexy heel that matches your outfit or accessories. Opt for a pump with a pointed toe for an elongating shape; even a flat with this toe will achieve this effect. Nude color (approximately matching your skin tone) on heels will visually create even more leg length when worn with bare legs or nude hosiery.
Summary:
Choose bootcut or slim cut pants. Choose skirt hemlines at or above the knee. Wear tights to lengthen the legs. Try a slit in a skirt or dress. Try heels to amp up the sexiness.
