Q: Use a microfiber duster, soft cloth, or feather duster to remove any dust or dirt that has accumulated on the surface. Try a duster with small nubs, feathers, or texture that will help get into the small cracks of the wicker weave. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment on the hose to gently remove dust from on and inside the weave of your wicker. Make sure the vacuum is at a low suction setting to avoid damage, and brush it gently across the surface of the wicker. For larger dirt, dust, or other objects stuck in the wicker, try using a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers to remove it. Remove dust and dirt from between the weave of your wicker by sweeping a cleaning brush gently across the surface. Try a paintbrush or even a toothbrush for smaller, hard-to-reach areas. Make sure to use any brush lightly, so as not to disrupt or dislodge any of the wicker. Avoid steel wool or any brush with stiff bristles, as these can damage natural wicker or remove lacquer, paint, or weatherproofing from treated wicker.
A: Dust with a feather duster or dry cloth. Vacuum with a brush attachment. Use a soft brush.

Article: The concentrated hydrogen peroxide used in this experiment will burn the skin and eyes. It can also bleach fabric, so choose your clothing with that in mind. This hydrogen peroxide is stronger than any household peroxide. Be sure to handle with care and make sure the graduated cylinder is set on a stable location. Play with the food dye for fun effects. Create fun patterns and color variations. To make the final product striped, tilt the graduated cylinder and drip food coloring down the sides. Add a small layer of liquid dish soap by pouring it into the solution down the side of the cylinder. You can also use powdered dish soap but be sure to mix the solution thoroughly. Using a spatula, add the potassium iodide to create the chemical reaction. You can also dissolve the potassium iodide in water in a vial before adding to the solution. Large colored foam will rise out of the cylinder. Place a glowing wood splint near the foam and watch it reignite as the oxygen is released from the emerging foam. Flush the remaining solution down the drain using plenty of water. Make sure all glowing wood splints are out and there are no open flames. Close and store the hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Put on gloves and goggles. Pour 4tsp (20ml) of 30% hydrogen peroxide into a graduated cylinder. Add 3 drops of food coloring. Add about 212UStbsp (37ml) of dish soap and swirl it to mix. Add the potassium iodide to the solution and quickly stand back! Test for the presence of oxygen. Clean up.

Problem: Article: You might be tempted to raffle a luxury car. However, the best car to raffle is one that matches the demographics of your audience. For example, if you are an environmental charity, then you might want to buy a hybrid vehicle. If your audience is young, then you might want something sporty. However, if your audience consists mostly of families, then you can buy a minivan or other family-sized car. You can't raffle off a car you don't own. Accordingly, you should identify how you will get a vehicle. You have a few options: Obtain donations. People can donate to your organization and then you can use the proceeds to buy a car. Approach local corporations, such as large hardware stores, Fortune 500 companies, professional sports teams, and any business that has expressed an interest in your organization. Ask a dealer to donate. Some auto dealers will donate a car, provided you advertise that they are the donor. Buy with your own funds. If your organization has money from prior fundraisers, then you might buy the vehicle outright. You need to approach donors strategically. No one will give you money without understanding the purpose of your organization. Make sure to have the following information available for potential donors to look at: Your organization's background: when you were established, how much you have raised, etc. How you will showcase the sponsor. For example, will you mention them on marketing materials? On the raffle ticket itself? How you will monitor and evaluate the raffle. For example, does your organization have an accountant or bookkeeper who will oversee the raffle and keep track of the money raised? How you will use the money raised. Explain how the funds will further your mission. You can increase interest in your raffle if you also offer smaller prizes. This way, more than one person is a "winner" at the raffle. Consider offering these other prizes: cash awards vacation getaways electronics items (laptop, flat screen TV, radio, etc.) gift certificates Some government authorities have strict rules regulating raffles. Accordingly, you should consult with an attorney in your area to discuss whether or not you can hold the raffle. You can find an attorney by contacting your local or state bar association. Many U.S. states limit raffles to non-profit charitable organizations, churches, or volunteer organizations. States may also require organizations to have been in existence for a certain number of years before they can hold a raffle. Check whether you need to pay taxes on the vehicle and whether you need to register it before the raffle. The lawyer can also help you register your raffle, which is required in some states. For example, in California, you must register your raffle with the state's Attorney General. Once you have met with an attorney, you can better assess whether you want to go ahead with the raffle. Consider the time and money involved and decide whether to pursue a different fundraiser. There's always a chance you won't sell enough tickets to cover the cost of the car. For this reason, think carefully before buying the car outright with your funds. If you can't get a dealer to donate a car, then you might want to scrap the raffle. As an alternative, you can hold a raffle for smaller items, such as vacations or cash prizes.
Summary: Decide what kind of car to raffle. Identify how you will purchase the car. Approach potential donors. Offer other smaller prizes. Meet with an attorney. Decide whether to raffle a car.

Q: An engine block heater is a small heating device installed in the engine that plugs into a wall socket. It warms the engine and oil and eases start-up. Engine block heaters are not expensive, but they must be installed properly by a mechanic. Your car's battery can deliver much more power when it's warm. You can do this using a battery wrap. A battery wrap or blanket is usually a fixed installation of insulation and heating element around the battery. They require about an hour to sufficiently warm the battery. Parking indoors, in a garage, helps to shelter a car's engine from icy winds and freezing temperatures. Heat the garage, if possible, to keep the temperature warmer. In the extreme cold, oil thickens and doesn't flow quickly to vital engine parts that need lubrication. A lightweight, winter-grade oil flows easier in cold weather and increases fuel economy. Your owner's manual should tell you the ideal type of oil you should use. Gas line antifreeze, also known as dry gas, is a chemical (essentially Methyl Hydrate) that is added to your gas tank to inhibit your gas line freezing. If your gas line freezes, your car will not be able to start until it thaws. Many gas stations already add an anti-freeze agent into their gas during colder weather months. Check with your station of choice and see if this is their practice. Add dry gas to your petrol or gas fill-up before filling the tank (if possible) to ensure it mixes completely in the tank. A fuel conditioner is a multi-functional diesel fuel additive. A diesel engine will start better in the cold if you use fuel conditioner, which prevents the fuel from "gelling" and ensures reliable fuel performance in severe winter conditions. Condensation on the walls of a gas tank will form and will eventually sink to the bottom and cause freezing problems in your fuel lines. It's much more difficult to start a cold car with a mostly-empty tank, so do yourself a favor and gas up often in the winter before letting the car sit.
A:
Warm the engine with a block heater. Keeping your car's battery warm. Park indoors. Use thinner oil. Use gas line antifreeze with fuel stabilizer. For diesel engines, consider using fuel conditioner. Keep your fuel tank full.
