Resting splints are usually made of a rigid, molded plastic material and are meant to completely immobilize your wrist in a neutral position. Your splint should relieve pain and swelling by supporting your hand and wrist in a neutral position. Resting splints are intended for use while sleeping or at rest. Under most circumstances, resting splints should be worn overnight while you sleep. Your doctor may recommend that you wear your splint sparingly during the day if you're experiencing flare-ups or have painful joints. Make sure you only wear it as recommended by your doctor. If you wear one for too long or too frequently, your wrist joint will stiffen up and the supporting muscles will weaken due to you not using them. Resting splints work best if the rigid material is molded to fit specifically over your unique wrist area. Your doctor, physical therapist, or another medical professional should be able to give you information on how and where to acquire a custom-fitted splint. Splints that fit poorly won't provide the right support and often lead to skin irritation and joint discomfort. Don't wear a splint designed for someone elseit may do more harm than good. If you have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), your doctor's first recommendation may be to wear a resting splint nightly for a month. Roughly one-third of CTS patients find that this treatment alone is enough to reduce their symptoms for at least a year. It's much easier to bend your wrist awkwardly (in ways that constrict the carpal tunnel in your wrist) for long periods during the night. This is often the primary contributor to CTS, even if you might assume it's mostly due to working at a keyboard every day. If you're dealing with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), you may be advised to combine nightly use of a resting splint with daily use of a working splint during flare-ups. Using only this combination for a month has been shown to reduce wrist pain in about one-third of RA sufferers. Don't wear a resting splint all night and a working splint all day unless specifically advised to do so by your doctor, and do it only for as long as advised. Otherwise, you may cause further joint stiffness and muscle weakness. Always follow your doctor's or physical therapist's advice so that you heal well. This will help prevent muscle weakness.

Mix together a 50-50 white vinegar and distilled water mixture inside a spray bottle. Shake the bottle a bit before using. If you dislike the smell of vinegar, add in a few drops of an essential oil, such as lemon. This solution can be stored for a number of weeks without losing its cleaning power. It is possible to use apple cider vinegar in the solution, but this does not have the same sanitizing effect as distilled white vinegar. Natural cleaners have a tendency to leave less residue and create fewer streaks than their commercial counterparts. Although, be aware that premixed cleaning solutions for laminate are available at most home stores. Boil 1 cup (240ml) of black tea using a single tea bag and 1 cup (240ml) of water. Wait until the tea cools down and then pour it into a spray bottle for application. Shake the mixture a bit before spraying and use it immediately. Do not store this solution. Fill your spray bottle up with warm or room temperature distilled water. Add in 1 tablespoon (15ml) of baby shampoo. Shake the bottle until it fills up with bubbles. Spray this solution lightly onto the surface of your floor. Baby shampoo is gentle and safe for most surfaces, including laminate. Before you do a general cleaning, make sure to address any specific stains or their residue can cause streaking across your finished floor. For a food-based stain, spoon a paste made from baking soda and distilled water over the affected area. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it away with a cloth dampened with water. Applying a bit of rubbing alcohol directly to a stain, using a cotton ball, can also help to remove it. But, don't let the alcohol sit for too long or it can cause your protective coating to peel up, which can give the appearance of dullness and streaking. Try using an acetone-based nail polish remover as an alternative to rubbing alcohol. Using tap water is the easier option, but it can add deposits on top of your floor. This, in turn, can make your floor appear dirty or dull. Instead, go with warm or room temperature distilled water in all of your floor cleaning solutions. Using distilled water also makes it possible to store your solution up to a few weeks.

The steam and humidity of the bathroom will accelerate rust formation on your razor blades. If possible, store them somewhere other than in the bathroom. Keeping them in a small ziplock bag will also suffice. After each use, dip the razor in rubbing alcohol. This will accelerate drying and sterilize the blade. If you are acne-prone, sterilization will help to prevent it. Then dip it in mineral oil, which will enhance the performance of your blade, protect it from the elements and make it last longer.

One-sentence summary -- Store your blade outside of the bathroom. Use mineral oil and rubbing alcohol on the blade.

Suede has a soft grain that is best cleaned with a special brush, which you can purchase with a suede cleaning kit. If your shoes have a care label, use whatever the manufacturer suggests. Suede is also very sensitive to water, so basic dirt and scuffs are best dealt with when the shoes are dry.
