Q: Ask an employee for help if you are not sure what to choose. Do not use chemicals from other sources. The chemicals sold at the pool supply store are at a specific concentration intended for pools. Sodium thiosulfate is probably the most common chlorine neutralizer, but requires care when handling. Hydrogen peroxide is often the cheapest option, and breaks down into harmless substances. However, this is much less effective if your pool's pH is below 7.0. Never add chemicals to a pool while swimmers are using it. If other people have access to the pool, put up clear warning signs. Many pool chemicals can cause injury if they come into contact with lungs, eyes, or skin. Review this safety checklist before you continue: Read the product label carefully for safe handling instructions. Follow all recommendations for safety equipment, and review emergency protocols. Store pool chemicals in a well-ventilated storage area, away from sunlight, heat, and moisture. Do not store acids and chlorine near each other. Do not store dry chemicals next to or underneath liquids. Only have one chemical container open at a time. Close the container and return it to storage before opening another. Always follow product instructions to determine how to add it to the pool, and how much to use. Many chemicals are available in different forms and in different concentrations, so a general guide cannot cover every option. Generally, when adding sodium thiosulfate, allow for about 0.5 ounces (15mL) per 1,000 gallons (3,800L) water. If you're treating a public pool, go with a more accurate measurement. 2.6 ounces (77mL) sodium thiosulfate will lower chlorine by 1 ppm in 10,000 gallons (37,900L) of water. A pool store employee or an online pool chlorine lowering calculator can help you with this formula. Adding too much of the neutralizer can cause major problems: your chlorine can drop to zero, and the unused neutralizer will remain in the pool to destroy the next batch of chlorine as well. Use or as much as you calculated. Give the pool time to adjust according to label instructions. Test frequently and do not enter the pool until parameters are back to normal. If your measurements stabilize but chlorine is still too high, add another small dose of neutralizer. If your circulation system is slower than average, you may have to wait longer for the neutralizer to take effect. . These chemicals usually lower the pH of the pool. Be prepared to raise the pH once chlorine is back to normal. The pH value should be between 7.2 and 7.8, and ideally as close to 7.5 as you can get.
A: Purchase a chlorine neutralizer from a pool supply store. Close the pool. Follow safety precautions. Calculate how much you need. Add the neutralizer in small doses. Wait while testing frequently. Raise the pH if necessary

Q: Mix a cup (240 mL) of baking soda in a cup of warm water. Stir them together to form a paste. Apply the paste to the stain using your cloth or sponge. Wait for the paste to dry. Take a clean, dry cloth and use it to wipe off the paste. Check to see if the stain has been removed. Mix an equal amount of vinegar and warm water. Add them to a spray bottle if possible, since this will allow you to coat the stain with an even, controlled amount of the mixture. Spray the mixture onto the stain. After five minutes, come back and prepare to finish treating the backsplash with a general wash.. Dampen a soft cloth in warm water. Rub the cloth against the metal's grain over the stained areas. Make sure all vinegar is removed. Finish up by using a soft cloth to remove the water. Make sure no water is left or else it can damage the backsplash.
A: Combine baking soda and warm water in a bowl. Let the baking soda paste dry on the stain. Combine vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Let the vinegar mixture sit on the stain for five minutes. Wipe off the vinegar with a damp cloth. Dry the backsplash with a clean cloth.

Q: Cut an avocado in half using a sharp knife and carefully remove the pit. In a clean bowl, mash 1/2 of the avocado with a fork until no chunks remain. You can also spoon the avocado into a blender or food processor and blend for a few seconds until smooth. Make sure that you use a ripe avocado so that you can easily break down any chunks and mash or blend until smooth. If your hair is very thick and/or long, you might need to use the whole avocado. If you only use half though, you can store the avocado half for future use. For added nutrients, add 1 egg, 1 tablespoon (15mL) of plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon (15mL) of olive oil, or a few drops of your favorite essential oil, such as peppermint or lavender.You can mix all of these at once, or just add one or a few of these add-ins depending on your hair type and desired effect. Use a fork to stir, or add to your blender or food processor until your add-in is completely mixed with the mashed avocado. Olive oil is highly conditioning and can help prevent breakage and promote hair growth. Yogurt helps strengthen your hair and can make it extra shiny. Eggs contain vitamins A and E, as well as biotin, which help promote healthy growth. Essential oils add nutrients and can help mask any unpleasant smells. Avocado alone is rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, so feel free to skip this step if you just want to use a simple avocado conditioner. If you are using the whole avocado instead of just half, double the add-ins. For example, for a whole avocado worth of paste, you will need 2 tablespoons (30mL) of plain yogurt. Using your hands, scoop up a dollop of the avocado paste and massage it into a section of your hair for about 1 minute. Repeat this process until all of your hair is covered and you have used all of the paste. If you have really thick and/or long hair, you may need to make a bit more of the paste at this point to cover all of your hair. It might be a good idea to wear clothes that you don't mind staining, or you can wrap a towel around your shoulders to protect your clothing. This will give your hair ample time to absorb the nutrients from the avocado paste. You can leave your hair uncovered, or you can protect your clothes and surroundings by putting on a shower cap, or by lightly wrapping your hair in a towel. After you have let the avocado paste sit in your hair for 15 minutes, wash it out thoroughly with water. Once the mixture is rinsed out of your hair, dry and style your hair as usual. Your hair should feel extra soft and smooth. Avocado paste alone should not make your hair greasy or weighed down, so you shouldn't need to use shampoo to get it all out. If you use olive oil or an egg as add-ins, however, you may need to use your regular shampoo to get all of the treatment out. For best results, condition your hair with an avocado paste once every 2 weeks. This will keep your hair moisturized and shiny without weighing it down. Feel free to experiment with different add-ins every 2 weeks until you find what works best for your hair.
A:
Mash 1/2 of a ripe avocado. Mix in essential oils, a raw egg, olive oil, and/or yogurt. Massage the avocado paste into clean, damp hair. Leave the avocado paste in your hair for 15 minutes. Rinse out with water. Repeat once every 2 weeks.
