If possible, wait to clean the outside of your home on a warm, dry day. A windy day will cause overspray, which will come back on you as you clean. If it isn't possible to clean on a warm day, at least wait for a dry to clean the outside of your house. Begin by making sure all doors and windows are closed. Secure them with tape if necessary. Put duct tape and plastic sheeting over outside light fixtures, vents, and electrical outlets. Move lawn furniture away from the home. Cover plants and shrubbery with plastic sheeting. Make sure kids and dogs are inside while you clean if you're using a pressure washer. Inspect your home before you begin cleaning. Look for stains that can be cleaned without the use of a garden hose or pressure washing. For most stains, you can use a scrub brush, water, and regular dishwashing soap. Scrub the stain until it begins to lift. For tougher stains, like mildew, use a solution made out of oxygen bleach, water, and dishwashing liquid. Put a gallon (3.8 L) of water, one-quarter pound (1 L) of oxygen bleach, and a one-eighth cup (29.6 mL) of dishwashing liquid in a bucket. Dip a scrub brush in the bucket and scrub the mildew until it lifts. Be very careful when handling bleach. Make sure to wear eye protection, rubber gloves, and handle it in a well-ventilated area.

summary: Choose a warm day to clean. Protect the area on and around your home. Use soap and water to remove stains. Create a solution with oxygen bleach powder to remove mildew.

The bleach solution can irritate your skin, so don't forget to put on latex gloves before you start mixing and applying the bleach. An old towel around your shoulders will protect your clothes from stains and damage caused by dripping bleach. Be sure to wear old clothes during this process. You may want to apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the skin around your hairline to prevent the bleach solution from irritating it. Frosting products will vary, but usually this process involves combining bleach powder and developer in a bowl. Stir the powder and developer together with a plastic spoon or spatula until they're evenly combined. Make sure your final solution is thick, not runny. Runny bleach solution will seep into the perforated holes in the frosting cap and stain the hair underneath, creating blotchy results. Dip your tint brush into the bowl and pick up a small amount of the bleach mixture. Then, paint the bleach mixture onto each strand of hair, starting at the roots and working your way to the ends. Work quickly and saturate every strand evenly from root to tip. You can press the tint brush right against the cap, since the cap is protecting your scalp. Your bleach kit may come with a tint brush. If it doesn't, you can pick one up at any beauty supply store. How long you let the bleach mixture to sit on your hair depends on the product you're using and results you're going for. Standard processing time is usually around 20-30 minutes. Use a timer on your phone to help you keep track of the time. If you're worried about dripping, put a plastic shower cap over your head while the bleach processes your hair. Never leave bleach mixture on your hair for longer than 1 hour, since it can cause serious damage and breakage. Be sure to leave the frosting cap on for this part! Shampoo the hair to remove the bleach mixture. Then, rinse each strand of hair with water until all of the bleach is gone. Do not use hot water to rinse the mixture out. Hot water will be too rough on your hair, which is already delicate because of the bleach chemicals. Untie the cap strings under your chin and remove the frosting cap. Then, wet all of your hair and apply a deep conditioner. Let the deep conditioner sit for 3-5 minutes before rinsing it out with cool water. Bleach chemicals can make hair brittle and dry, so deep conditioning right after bleaching will provide a dose of much-needed moisture.

summary: Put on latex gloves and protect your shoulders with an old towel. Mix the bleach powder and developer according to the package directions. Paint the bleach mixture onto the strands of hair with a tint brush. Allow the bleach to process the hair according to the directions. Shampoo the hair and rinse it thoroughly with cool water. Take off the frosting cap and apply a deep conditioner.

Making your own flower press doesn't take a long time and gives you a designated press so you won't have to scrounge around trying to find heavy books or bricks. Each piece of wood should be 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) thick. You can use plywood or other scraps of wood. If you visit your local home improvement store, you may be able to find scraps of wood for sale that can be used for your press. If you are cutting your own pieces of wood, you can make your press any shape or size that you want. Some people prefer round presses, while some want a smaller or bigger press, depending on how many flowers they need to dry at one time. A 9 by 12in (23 by 30cm) press can hold anywhere from 10-20 blooms, just depending on what kinds of flowers you are pressing. With c-clamps, one side of the clamp stays stationary and the other side can be adjusted by turning the handle to move the screw up or down. Open each clamp wide enough to fit the pieces of wood. Start by positioning one clamp over a corner of the press. Adjust the screw mechanism to bring the sides of the clamp together as tight as possible. Repeat this with the other 3 clamps. Visit your local home improvement store or shop online for your c-clamps. You don't need to get anything fancy, so you should be able to find these clamps for about $5 a piece. If you bought a wooden press rather than making one yourself, there should be bolts for you to utilize rather than having to use clamps. Resist undoing the press and checking on your flowers until at least 3 weeks have passed. If you do, it could disturb the flowers and make it hard to get them back into the same position so that they dry perfectly. To be safe, wait 30 days before opening the clamps and removing the flowers. If you have more flowers you want to press in the meantime, use a second press or one of the other pressing methods so you don't disturb the ones that are in process. This is one of the more time-intensive methods because it doesn't use much weight or heat to press the flowers. If you want to speed up the pressing time, add a few bricks or books on top of the wood.
summary: Buy or cut two 9 by 12in (23 by 30cm) pieces of wood. Secure each corner of the press together with a c-clamp. Let the flowers dry for about 30 days.
