Problem: Article: If you have just spilled something on your cowhide rug, you should act quickly to clean it up. Leaving any liquid to soak into the rug will result in stains that are much more difficult to remove. Take these actions as soon as you notice a spill on your cowhide rug to help reduce the staining: Soak the spill up with a towel or sponge. Don t wipe the spill away, as this will only spread it. Try to use only a dabbing motion while absorbing the spill. You may find that some areas of the spill have dried and left solid material behind. These can be scraped away with the blunt edge of a knife. Use the blunt edge of a knife to gently break up and remove any areas of dried material until only the stain is left. Scrape with the direction of the hair. Do not use the sharp edge of the knife. You might also try using a hard-bristled brush or spoon. Don't scrape or press too hard. Apply only enough pressure to remove the dried material. If there is a small stain on your cowhide rug from a spill, you can try using shampoo and water to remove it. The water and mild soapy solution will help to break up the stain and restore your cowhide. Use a damp cloth or sponge to apply the soapy water to the cowhide rug. Make sure to use as little soap as possible and add more only if needed. You can scrub and rub in any direction. Make sure the sponge or towel isn't soaking wet. Don't use any alkaline soaps or shampoos. After you've scrubbed the rug, you will want to remove any soapy residue from it. Take a new cloth and dampen it with only water. Use this damp cloth to gently wipe away any soap or remaining stain. Allow your rug time to dry before placing it back in your room. If the stain is still there, you can try cleaning the rug again to remove what's left. If you can't seem to remove the stain yourself, you may need to have it professionally cleaned. Although it may be tempting, using a washing machine or dry-cleaning chemicals will damage your cowhide rug. Remove all stains and spills with gentle hand washing only. Never use a washing machine or dry-cleaning kit on your cowhide rug to remove stains.
Summary: Clean up spills quickly. Scrape away dried matter. Use shampoo and water to remove liquid stains. Finish cleaning the cowhide rug. Do not use dry-cleaning or machine washing.

Problem: Article: You don't have to do a lot of math to figure out what this means: Aquarius is like the wind -- flowing free, there one minute, gone the next. Sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle, but always doing its own thing. In order to be compatible with Mr. Water Bearer, you gotta let him have his independence. This by no means he won't be faithful or loyal. That has nothing to do with it. It simply means that he needs to feel that he's his own person and is free to do as he pleases. Trust that "as he pleases" is the behavior of a good boyfriend! Sometimes you'd swear your Aquarius' alter ego was Holden Caulfield -- he absolutely can't stand phonies. He can see right through you if you start self-presenting and image-maintaining so don't do it. Relax. Know that yourself is all he wants. Be honest at all times. Honesty and sincerity are essential for anyone seeking a long-term connection to this dynamic personality. When it comes to love, people best suited are those that are not thrown off by Aquarian frankness and honesty. Open, communicative, imaginative, and willing to risk are all qualities that blend well with this sign's perspective on life. Mr. Aqua doesn't do well with intense dramatics. If you run around with your hands in the air, crying, muttering nonsense between gulps of tears, he'll go sit down on the couch and turn on the TV. It's not that he doesn't care about you, it's that he doesn't care for theatrics. On the same token, he probably won't display emotion on a grand scale, either -- both positive and negative. So when you think he'll be super excited about something, know that he just may be somewhere deep inside -- he's just not showing it. Your man is totally open to all walks of life, all opinions, and all philosophies. He's not a fence-sitter or a people pleaser, he just sees it all. It'd serve you well to be open-minded, too! At least for those times when he sits down to dinner with a raging -ist and isn't giving them the third degree. You'll also need to be open to all his eccentricities. Where most people may find them strange, your open-mindedness will find them endearing. You realize that there is no normal, but there is unique and original -- too very wonderful qualities! A relationship with an Aquarius can be interesting, indeed. Since you're not putting too much pressure on them, it's important to just hang tight and see where it goes. Let the breeze take you wherever it goes. When he wants to be serious, you'll know. And you can decide if you want to be serious then, too. Some people find it difficult to allow the other person this sense of control. Don't think of it like this! You're simply enjoying yourself. You both are. Why would that need to end? Don't worry about the long-term. He's not! After all, you only have today. So live it up, have fun, and have fun with your dynamic, fascinating, intriguing water bearer.
Summary:
Know that he is an air sign. Be yourself. Don't get too emotionally charged. Be open-minded. Go with the flow.
