Your bedroom is a good selection so you can sleep in an allergen free environment. This will help prevent pet dander from circulating in your house. These trap and hold pet dander and allergens.

Summary: Vacuum your carpets regularly using a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Arresting) filter to remove pet hair and dander from fabrics. Have a HEPA air cleaner installed or use an air purifier to remove allergens from the air in your home. Refrain from allowing your dog on types of furniture such as chairs, couches, and beds. Create a dander-free room in your house by preventing the dog from entering it. Use high-efficiency filters in your house climate control system and change filters every 2-to-3 months. Remove carpets and fabrics from your house as much as possible.

You'll want to lay the jacket with the back facing up so you can iron the back first. Test the iron heat first on an inside area of the fabric, close to the hem, so if for some reason the iron leaks or marks it, it is not in a visible place. Adjust the settings if necessary and continue carefully. Smooth out any large wrinkles before you begin pressing the jacket. If the jacket has any embroidery, turn the jacket inside out and press it through the lining rather than over the embroidery. You will need to use a cooler heat setting if you press through the lining. Lay the jacket flat on the ironing board with the back of the suit on top and facing you. Do not pull or stretch the arm seams while you are pressing the back of the suit since these should stay slightly shrunken. Spray a small amount of water onto the fabric you want to press. Press down on sections of the back rather than gliding the iron over the fabric. You want to press the wrinkles out rather than smoothing them. If the jacket has vents, put a piece of stiff paper between the vent and the rest of the back. This helps to prevent marks being made on the layer underneath the vent. Iron the top piece of the vent, then lift it up while you press the piece that is underneath the vent. Now that the back has been pressed, you can begin to work on the front and sides of the jacket. Lay one half of the jacket on the ironing board so the other half of the front is off the board. If the jacket has darts, the dart should be lined up with the outer edge of the board to avoid creasing. Smooth any large wrinkles out of the fabric and lining before you start to press and spritz the fabric with water. Press the front part of the jacket in small sections using a moderate amount of pressure. The front of the jacket will most likely have pocket flaps and lapels that you will need to pay special attention to. Jacket lapels should not be creased unless you want a hard military look. Run the iron over lapels very gently. Similarly, if the jacket has shoulder pads do not press directly on the pads or their outline will be pressed into the jacket. Pull out pockets before you press over that area so you do not press in the outline of pocket wrinkles. If there are pocket flaps, use the stiff piece of paper you used on the vents to separate the layers as you press them. Sleeves are the trickiest part of the jacket to iron because of their shape and the fact that you have two layers of fabric and lining to deal with. Lay the sleeve down on the board and smooth out any large wrinkles in the fabric and the lining by hand. If you are using a sleeve board, insert the board into the sleeve so you can rotate the sleeve around the board. Lay a damp cloth over the sleeve. This will help to protect the suit fabric and make pressing easier. Start by ironing the center of the sleeve first. Use the arm seam to guide the iron so you do not crease the fabric. Using a sleeve board is the easiest way to iron a sleeve since you can rotate the material around the board as you press without creating a crease. If you do not have a sleeve board you can substitute a cylindrical container to keep the sleeve's shape while you iron. You can use a rolled up thick magazine or a cylindrical cardboard tube and insert it into the sleeve. Be sure to cover the magazine or tube with a cotton towel before you insert it. As soon as you are finished, hang your neatly pressed and steamed jacket on a well-shaped hanger. Use a hanger with shoulders and padding if possible, though a wire one will work in a pinch. Allow the jacket to hang while it cools. Unplug your iron and put away your ironing board. Wait until the iron is cool to the touch before putting it away.

Summary: Take the jacket and lay it flat on the board. Press the back section. Flip the jacket to the front. Press the front of the jacket. Prepare the sleeves. Iron the sleeves. Hang up your jacket.

If you want to join National Honor Society, you must be enrolled in a school with an active NHS chapter. You can use the National Honor Society website to find information about your school's chapter of NHS. Students cannot apply to enter the NHS at the national level, via the organization's website or any other means. All admissions to the NHS are handled at the local level - you must apply to your high school's NHS chapter and no other. That's why it's important to get information about your chapter before attempting the application process. If your school doesn't have an NHS chapter, all is not lost. Try asking your principal, academic adviser, or teacher to establish an NHS chapter at your school. Though students and parents aren't allowed to apply to establish chapters, they are encouraged to share information with receptive school faculty members. Criteria for admissions varies from chapter to chapter. Some schools require an application and resume. Some schools merely require an essay detailing why you feel qualified to join NHS. Figure out what the specific qualifications are at your school and go from there. You cannot simply apply to NHS cold. A faculty member at your school must nominate you. Then, the educator associated with your school's chapter of NHS will make a decision regarding your application. Sometimes, a teacher will simply nominate you without your asking. However, if this does not happen and you feel qualified consider approaching a teacher and asking. Pick a teacher whose class you feel you've done well in and who is impressed by your work and dedication. Your teacher will have to print out and submit a student nomination form. You can find this form for your teacher on the NHS website.

Summary: Find a local chapter. Review the criteria for your local chapter. Find a teacher to nominate you for NHS.

Pour 2 gallons (3.78 l) of warm water in a 5-gallon (18.92 l) bucket. Add 2 cups (400 g) of powdered oxygen bleach and mix the solution together using the sponge or brush that you'll be using to scrub down your deck. Continue to mix the solution until the components are well incorporated. Remember to wear water-proof gloves, boots, and possibly rain pants when working with bleach. Mix the solution outside or in a well-ventilated area. If you don't have a deck brush, you can use a large porous sponge to scrub down the surface of your deck instead. Liberally saturate the surface of the deck with the solution, then start scrubbing the deck until the solution starts to lather. Synthetic deck brushes can be purchased at most hardware stores and are designed specifically to wash a deck. Be careful when walking on your deck because the bleach solution will make it slippery. Letting the suds sit on the deck will allow the oxygen bleach to absorb the dirt and algae on your deck. It's important that you don't let the solution thoroughly dry on the deck, or it can leave a film on the surface. Use the hose to do a final rinse down of your deck. If you don't have a hose, you can get buckets of water from an indoor faucet and use that to rinse down the deck. Make sure that all of the bleach solution is rinsed away before letting your deck air dry.
Summary: Mix warm water and powdered oxygen bleach into a bucket. Scrub down your deck with a synthetic brush or sponge. Let the suds sit on the deck for 5 minutes. Rinse down your deck.
