Article: While picking sheets that fit well won't automatically stop them from popping off, it can help. Start by measuring the depth of your mattress. When you look at sheets, make sure they fit the mattress you have, as you may need deeper or shallower sheets, depending on your mattress. If your kids are constantly pulling their sheets off, you may want to switch to zipping sheets. The main part of the sheet goes under the bed, but you only put it on once. The top of the sheet zips off, so you can change it out as needed. With the zipper, the sheets stay in place. For adults, try drawstring sheets, which allow you to tighten the sheets on the bed underneath the mattress. You may have seen the corners that you place under rugs to keep them from moving. You can also use these for your sheets. Place 1 under each corner of the mattress, and then put the sheets on as normal. The stickiness of the corners keep the sheets in place. Foam can also work for this purpose. Sometimes, if you have silk sheets or other smooth sheets, they're more likely to pop off. Try placing a rougher sheet underneath the fitted sheet, such as a flannel sheet, to help keep the top one from popping off.

Pick the correct-sized sheets. Use zipping sheets for babies and kids. Place non-slip rug corners under the mattress. Place a rougher sheet underneath the softer sheet.

Article: Once you have the area the decal will be applied determined, use a soft cloth and a mild cleaner on the surface of the car. Rubbing alcohol will clean the area well and evaporate quickly, making it a common choice. Do not simply spray the cleaner onto the car or it may soak the masking tape you've used as a guide. Apply cleaner to a rag and wipe where the decal will stick to the car. Some cleaners like Windex or spray on cleaner-waxes leave a residue intended to help maintain shine. This residue will prevent the decal from sticking properly to the vehicle. Rubbing alcohol or basic car wash soap both will clean the area sufficiently. Be sure to rinse the area thoroughly if you use car wash soap. Decals won't stick as well to a wet surface, so either dry the area you cleaned with a towel or allow it to air dry completely before moving on. If you opt to use a towel, use a chamois cloth to avoid damaging the paint. Wait for the surface to be completely dry before applying the decal. Depending on the size of the decal, you may choose to remove the entire backing or just a portion of it at a time. If the decal is larger than your forearm, you may want to peel off the backing in thirds to make application more manageable. Decals that are only a few inches long can have the backing completely removed. Only peel off a bit of the backing at a time for larger decals such as ones that will stretch the length of the vehicle.
