INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While Paint can be used to create a basic icon, its transparency will be affected; this means that some colors won't show up in your icon.

Click OK Since your canvas is relatively tiny, click the + icon in the bottom-right corner of the window until your canvas is large enough for you to work freely. For a 32x32 canvas, you'll probably need to zoom all the way in (800 percent) to work. Once your canvas is the proper size and scale, you're free to begin drawing your icon as you please. Design experts recommend making icons simple, vibrant, and easy to read. Remember that your icon will be much smaller when it's on your desktop, so try not to add too many tiny words or details. You will most likely have to resize the brush you're using.

It's in the drop-down menu. On the left side of the window, click a folder in which you want to save the icon file (e.g., Pictures). It's best to save your icon file in a location where you know it won't move or accidentally be deleted, as moving or deleting the icon file will cause any shortcut using the file to lose its icon. Click Save in the lower-right corner of the window, then click OK in the pop-up window which appears. Your icon will be saved in your selected location.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Steam cleaning solutions can be expensive and are typically made of harsh chemicals. Fill the steam cleaner's tank with full-strength vinegar. If the steam cleaner has a dedicated tank for the cleaning solution, use full-strength vinegar instead of the commercial steam cleaning solution. Substitute vinegar for the steam cleaning solution. If the cleanser is combined with hot water in a single tank in the steam cleaner, use vinegar instead of the cleanser. Whatever the amount of cleanser recommended, substitute the same amount of vinegar. If the manual indicates 4 ounces (113.4 g) of cleaning solution, use 4 ounces (113.4 g) of vinegar. Operate the steam cleaning machine as directed. The rug (and room) may smell like vinegar during cleaning. Once the rug is dry, the smell will dissipate.

SUMMARY:
Replace steam cleaning solutions with vinegar. Clean the carpet with the steam cleaning machine.
