Article: A good deadbolt is a necessary home security measure. To install deadbolts, visit your local hardware store. Grade 1 deadbolts will come with the highest-grade security certificate. If your front and rear doors are not locked by a deadbolt, a determined burglar could easily kick or shoulder their way into your house. If you're moving in to a new house, replace all of the external locks, even if they're high-quality, or have them re-keyed. You'll put yourself at risk if you don't replace or re-key the locks, since the previous homeowner could have given out spare keys to people who, to you, are complete strangers. Also change your lock if you ever lose a key. Someone else might have picked it up, and could easily rob your home with the key. A normal packaged lock bought at the hardware store will include small 1 inch (2.5cm) screws. When you're increasing home security, replace the short screws with longer screws that are at least 46 inches (1015cm) long. Fastening the lock and hinges with longer screws will make it harder for a would-be home invader to kick in doors. You can find screws of any length at your local hardware store.

Article: Use vocabulary that promotes your audience. Instead of using phrases like "I think that..." or "Let me tell you about..." direct your speech towards them. Say things like "You will love..." and "You'll find..." You want your product to seem like an obvious choice, and to do so you need to strike on the reasons that is makes life easier, increases profits, saves time, saves money, et cetera. It should be a clear choice that purchasing from you will improve your client's life significantly. If you offer too many things for sale at once, you are likely to overwhelm your client with choices. This makes it nearly impossible for them to give a simple "yes" or "no" to your pitch. Instead, focus on one item or service at a time and ask the question of how many that person is interested in purchasing. Once you've made a successful sale, offer up another product or service. Your audience will be more receptive having already agreed to purchasing with you, and you will have to do much less work the second time around. If you have an elaborate purchase and shipment plan, your audience may become frustrated with the amount of work involved on their part. Simplify everything as much as you can so that the brunt of the work falls on you, not your client. This is when you make an agreement with your client on either meeting again in the future or purchasing more product from you. Try setting a date for a future meeting after they agree to make a purchase with you. This way, you'll have at least one more chance to sell to them again. To push a sale, make it seem like there is a short amount of time during which the purchase can be made. That could be because clearance is ending, the price is increasing, or there is a limited number of your product or service available for purchase.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Change your language. Make the bottom line obvious. Avoid "what to buy" sales. Follow every sale with another offer. Make buying from you simple. Set a mutual agreement. Create a sense of urgency.
Article: Storing your mop while it is still wet encourages mold and bacteria to grow. Let your mop head dry completely before you store it so that your mop head will last longer. Dry mops, sponge mops, and other mops with flat heads should be stored with the head up. This keeps their heads off the floor and away from dust and debris while not in use. It also helps them better maintain their shape. Traditional wet mops should be stored in a way that allows their strings or strips to hang down naturally. If possible, the best way to do this is to hang the head off of a hook or rack on the wall, separate from the handle. If you cannot store your wet mop head separate from the handle, store the mop with the head up. This may cause some misshaping, but it is more sanitary and will help your mop last longer. To help avoid mold and mildew growing on your mop head, keep it in a dry place. A closet or another indoor space generally works just fine. Garages that aren't temperature-controlled and laundry rooms aren't always the best idea, though, as these can get humid. Exactly when you need to replace your mop will depend upon how often you use it and what you use it for. In general, though, a mop head will last about three months. If your mop smells even after disinfecting or if it has continued problems with mold growth, replace it immediately.
