For guides that have their own page, see [[:Category:How-to]].<br /> <br /> ==How to mop the floor==<br /> For most impervious surfaces, a splash of bleach and a tablespoon of dish detergent in a gallon or two of hot water is the best solution.<br /> <br /> Lay down a lot of the cleaning solution, let it sit a minute, then soak it back into a wrung mop, ideally disposing of the dirty liquid into a separate bucket.<br /> <br /> In most cases, two cycles are necessary. In the dirtiest cases, fresh solution is required for the second cycle.<br /> <br /> ==How to keep knives sharp==<br /> Use the back side of the blade to scrape items off a cutting board instead of the sharp side. Thanks to &quot;The Frugal Gourmet&quot; Jeff Smith for this tip.<br /> <br /> Wash and dry the blade immediately after cutting.<br /> <br /> Don&#039;t let the blade touch glass or stone, or even other metal, only food, cutting boards, water, and towels.<br /> <br /> Don&#039;t leave a wet blade touching anything—Rust will form.<br /> <br /> ==How to ventilate a building==<br /> If it&#039;s hotter outside than in, and you want to remain cool, blow out from the room you&#039;re in—That way air will be cooled by the rest of the building before it gets to your room.<br /> <br /> If you have a stinky room, exhaust there.<br /> <br /> To get rid of heat through a double-slash window, pull down the top slash and exhaust through the top. To save heat, exhaust through the bottom.<br /> <br /> [[Category:How-to]]</div>
