Article: Regulations strictly limit what you can do in response to a nuisance bird. However, there are steps that can be taken if birds are destroying your property, their droppings are becoming a health hazard, or they are obstructing the use of gutters. Wildlife authorities might be able to give you a special permit to trap the bird, or provide suggestions about how to drive them off. Remember, migratory birds will only be around temporarily; it might be best to wait them out. There are a number or devices that can legally be used to drive off birds. These sound emitting devices that scare birds off when they approach an area. Products like the Prowler Owl are designed to trick birds into believing that predators are around. Chemical Polybutylene repellents can also be applied to surfaces that birds are attracted to. Before installing any of these, you should clean bird droppings from the surface. Ultrasonic emitters have not been found to be effective. Devices intended to scare birds with loud sounds and bright visuals are also less effective in urban areas, where birds have often acclimated to such distractions. If you know where the birds like to nest, you can build obstructions that will prevent them from settling there. Install a block of wood on ledges at a 45 degree angle so that they can't settle there. Net meshes can be constructed over exterior surfaces.

Article: It is important to keep your skin clean. You should use a mild cleanser, or a cleanser designed for sensitive skin to clean the area. You can shower or bathe as normal, just make sure to keep the water temperature cool. You can wash the treated area 1-2 times a day after the treatment. If you wash more frequently, you may increase the redness or discomfort. After 2-3 days, if the redness has disappeared, you can return to your normal skin routine. After laser hair removal, your skin will be more sensitive than normal. It will also probably feel dry, especially as it heals. Applying a moisturizer designed for sensitive skin to the treated area will alleviate the dry feeling without causing further irritation. After the initial treatment, you can apply moisturizer 2-3 times a day as needed. Just be careful to apply it gently; don't irritate the treated area by rubbing too vigorously. Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer. This will help keep the pores clear and promote healing. If you had hair removed from your face, makeup should not be applied as it may irritate the skin further. It is best to use as little product as possible on your face after treatment. After 24 hours, if the redness is gone, makeup can be applied. You should also avoid topical facial medications such as anti-acne creams. After 24 hours, if the redness has disappeared, you can start using these products again.

Article: Some cleaners may strip your marble of its finish. Check the label of all cleaners to ensure they are suitable for marble. Abrasives in cleaners and abrasive cleaning tools, like scouring pads, steel wool, or scrubbers, can also cause damage to the marble. The surfaces cleaners are intended for should be clearly marked on the label. Abrasives, too, are generally marked on the label. Even if the label says a cleaning product is suited for marble, it's always a good idea to test the cleaner first. Choose an out of sight location on the marble, like under a stationary appliance, and use a small amount of cleaner on the marble. If the finish or color is affected by the cleaner after it dries, refrain from using the cleaner. Although bleach is a generally accepted cleaning agent for marble, it's relatively harsh. Only use bleach sparingly to clean your marble. Same as when using vinegar or hydrogen peroxide, dampen a clean, soft rag with bleach, wring out excess, and drape the rag over stains. Only use this technique for marble that is light in color. Bleach may cause discoloration in dark colored pieces. If you've cleaned a spot time and again with various cleaners, it's likely the stain you are attempting to clean is engrained in the marble. To remove spots like this, the marble will have to be buffed and refinished. For the best results, this should only be attempted by a professional.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid harsh cleaners and anything abrasive. Test cleaning products on an out of view part of the marble. Soak stubborn stains in bleach. Identify engrained stains in your marble.
