Article: Always wash your hands well before touching a piercing, especially if it's new or infected. Use an antimicrobial soap and warm water. Avoid fiddling with your earrings and only touch them when you have to clean them. If your piercing is new, keep it in place for at least six weeks, even if it becomes infected. While you should rotate a new lobe piercing, stop rotating it if it becomes infected for one to two weeks. If your infected piercing is permanent, or more than six months old, remove the earring while you deal with the infection. Soak a cotton ball or swab in saline solution or a mild antimicrobial soap. Dab the soaked ball or swab around the infected area. Then dry the area with disposable paper towels. If the shop where you got your ear pierced provided a saline solution, use it to clean your ears. You can also purchase a pre-made product or make a saline solution by mixing 2 teaspoons of salt with a quart (about a liter) of warm water. If you use a soap, go with a fragrance free brand that doesn't contain alcohol. Clean an infected ear piercing twice a day. You can rotate the earrings during this time while they are still wet from the saline solution or soap. After cleaning and drying the piercing, you can apply an antibacterial ointment to encourage healing. Dab a small amount of the ointment onto a cotton swab and paint a thin coating over the infected area. If the infection is weeping or emitting a discharge, avoid using ointment. Rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide will dry out the infected area and kill cells that are needed for healing. Killing white blood cells around the infected site could make the infection even worse. Don't apply alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to the infection, and make sure any cleaning products you use are alcohol free.

Article: Hang your clothes up to let air circulate around them and blow away bad smells and fumes. Hanging your clothes up is good way to help ensure that they smell fresh and clean when you put them on in the morning. If you can hang them up in fresh air, such as in your yard or on your balcony, then you will get the most benefit. You could also hang your clothes up near to an open window. This can be a good way to ensure that they are exposed to lots of fresh air even if you have to keep them indoors. Even if you can't hang your clothes up outside or with exposure to fresh air, you should still hang them up overnight. You won't get the same amount of freshness as you would if you hung them up outside, but it is definitely preferable to leaving your clothes in a heap on the floor. Hang them up in your closet or on a clothes rail. Try to ensure that there is some circulation around the clothes. Be wary of putting your closet in a dark and damp corner of your room. Once you have hung your clothes up in the closet, there are a whole host of things you can add that will help your clothes smell fresh in the morning. One of the most popular methods is just to spray a couple of cotton balls with your favourite perfume, or other scented product, and hang the balls up in your closet. You could use some scented essential oils rather than perfume. You can also just place the cotton on a shelf in your closet. The scent will transfer onto your clothes overnight. This method will effectively cover up bad smells with good ones. Give your clothes a quick spray before you go to bed to help them stay fresh and smell good in the morning. You can use all sorts of different things to spritz your clothes, and it depends on what kinds of smells you like. There are a range of products you can buy to freshen up stale clothes by spritzing them, but you can also easily concoct your own at home. Add a few drops of an essential oil to a spray bottle of water. Some good choices are lavender, grapefruit and lemon. Coffee grounds are known to absorb unpleasant odours, and you can use them to help keep your clothes smelling good overnight. Take a pot of coffee grounds, and make a few small holes in the top of the container. Tuck this container of coffee grounds in your closet, and leave it to soak up the bad smells. You should generally replace the pot of coffee grounds once a month.

Article: Find the circuit breaker or fuse box, which will be in the basement or bottom floor of your home. Flip the switch for the garage. To test for an electrical current, plug a radio or lamp into a wall outlet in the garage. If the power is off, the device won't turn on. Pick an outlet as close to the door as possible to make installing the floodlights easier. Use a screwdriver to loosen the outlet. Remove the screws on the sides of the outlet to free the wires. Leave the electrical box containing the wires in the wall. Visit a home improvement store to purchase an extension box that is the same shape as the outlet. The mounting plate will be included. Fit the plate around the electrical box and, using the included screws, fasten it to the wall. First, look for a circle, also called a knock-out plug, on the top surface of the extension box. Use the tip of your screwdriver to pry the plug up and away. Then position a 12in (1.3cm) metal conduit connector on top of the hole. The metal conduit connector, along with other conduit pieces, can be found at most home improvement stores. The extension box will come with 2 long screws. Position the extension box on the plate with the conduit connector facing upwards. Line up the holes on the box and plate, then use the screws to fasten them together.
