In the warmer months, feeders will need to be cleaned more often. In 90F or higher weather it may even be necessary to replace the liquid twice daily. Fermentation happens very quickly. Do not place hummingbird feeders in locations where they receive direct sunlight as it greater speeds up spoilage. In weather with temperatures in the 80s it is a good idea to change the liquid daily. In the 70s the liquid may last more than a day. Remember, you can't rely on liquid cloudiness to know it's time to change the liquid. Clear-looking liquid can be too fermented already. Beer looks clear but it's extremely fermented. Watch the nectar closely and throw it away when necessary. How long nectar lasts depends on the ambient temperature, how clean the feeder was before it was refilled, how many ports are open to let air in, and whether or not it gets direct sunlight. In high heat situations or when the feeder is in direct sunlight, nectar can go bad in less than a day. Check the feeder periodically for a greasy residue. This can indicate that there is black mold. The feeder should be boiled, if it is made of parts that can be boiled, more often than it is deep-cleaned. When you deep clean the feeder periodically you have the option of boiling the feeder three times in a row for 30 minutes each time, allowing it to cool. This will kill mold spores which are very resistant to being killed by boiling. You can also soak the feeder in hydrogen peroxide or vinegar for an hour or more. If you notice black mold growing on the feeder that is especially bad and requires soaking in vinegar, peroxide, or a 1 part bleach 10 parts water liquid. You should not see any black mold on the feeder after soaking. If you see it then continue to soak until it has dissolved.

Summary: Clean the feeder at the right frequency, depending on the season. Replace the nectar regularly. Deep clean the feeder at least once every seven days in hot weather.

Dip the brush into the bleach and scoop out some product. Then, starting from the bottom, paint the bleach onto your hair using upward strokes. Apply the bleach in a thick layer, ensuring that all strands are equally covered as you go. Work the bleach about halfway up your hair, stopping at the point where you'd like the bleach to ombre into your natural color. Try to keep your bleach application as smooth and consistent as possible. This will lead to a smoother and more consistent ombre. Feel free to bleach a larger section of hair if you'd like your ombre to be less gradual. Make your ombre appear more like a gradient by applying thin streaks of bleach product to the upper half of your hair. Work in upward strokes, arranging these streaks randomly above the lower section of bleach. Try to use smaller amounts amount bleach for these random sections to vary up the ombre effect in your finished look. Try to avoid getting excess bleach mixture on your scalp, as this can irritate the skin. Read the label on your bleaching kit to see how long the hair bleach needs to stay on your hair. Depending on your hair color, you might need to wait around 30 minutes for your hair to lighten to the desired shade. Don't keep the bleach on for longer than the specified time. Someone with brown hair will probably need to keep the bleach product in for longer than an individual with blonde hair would. Set the faucet to a warm temperature and wash out the bleach beneath the running water. Keep your gloves on as you rinse your locks, using your fingers to get rid of any extra bleach clumps. Continue rinsing until your hair is completely bleach-free. When wet, your bleached hair will look significantly darker than its true shade. Pour a small amount of conditioner for bleached hair onto your hands and knead it into your scalp. Focus on the lower sections of hair, which were just exposed to bleach. Work the product into your hair until it reaches a foamy lather, then rinse it out. Read the label on the conditioner to see if the product needs to sit in your hair for a certain amount of time.
Summary: Use a brush to apply the bleach from the bottom up. Add highlighting streaks of bleach above your ombre line. Let the bleach sit for 30 minutes or less. Rinse off the bleach in the sink or bathtub. Massage a coin-sized amount of conditioner into your treated hair.
