| How to Remove Foundation from Clothes Posted: 19 Aug 2021 01:00 AM PDT Anyone who wears makeup has had the groan-worthy experience of getting foundation stains on a nice top. But next time it happens to you, don't despair—most kinds of foundation can be removed from fabric with the right cleaning materials and a bit of patience. For oil-free foundation, a dab of shaving cream will usually do the trick. Oil-based foundations can be spot cleaned with regular liquid dish soap or laundry detergent. And if you've gotten powder foundation on your clothes, you can take it out with liquid soap and a damp sponge. [Edit]Removing Oil-Free Liquid Foundation Stains - Cover the stain with shaving cream. Any type of foam shaving cream will work for this purpose. Be sure to use cream, rather than gel.[1] Spritz the cream directly onto the stain.[2]
- Let the shaving cream sit for 2-3 minutes. Give the shaving cream some time to work its magic. Just a few minutes should suffice.[3]
- Rub the shaving cream into the stain. After you've let the shaving cream sit on the stain for a couple of minutes, work it into the stain. Use your fingers or a soft, clean cloth. Rub firmly to make sure you really work the shaving cream into the stained fibers.[4]
- Add rubbing alcohol for stubborn stains. If shaving cream and water alone don't do the trick, try mixing a little rubbing alcohol in with the shaving cream. Rub in the shaving cream and alcohol mixture, and rinse with water.[5]
- If you're concerned that alcohol might damage your clothing, test a little out in an inconspicuous spot first.
- Rinse the stain with cold water. Carefully wash out all the shaving cream. Use cold water on your first rinse, since hot water may cause the stain to set into the fabric.[6] Check to see if there's any foundation left.[7]
- Repeat the treatment and rinse with warm water, if necessary. If there's any foundation left after your initial attack, spray on a little more shaving cream and try again. This time, rinse it out with warm or hot water.[8]
- The warmer water may help the shaving cream break down any stubborn makeup that has already set into the fabric.
- Blot the area with a clean, dry towel. After rinsing out the stain, gently pat the area dry. Use a blotting motion to lift out the water and any lingering traces of the stain.
- Wash the stained item when you're done. After you've spot-treated the stain, get out any residual traces of makeup (and shaving cream) by tossing the stained item in the wash. If the garment is not machine-washable, hand wash it or get it dry-cleaned.[9]
[Edit]Cleaning up Oil-Based Liquid Foundation Stains - Dampen the stained area with water. Wet the stain with a little cool water. This will help the solvent spread and break up the stain.[10] Don't soak the area, just dampen it. For delicate garments, you may wish to do this with a spray bottle.
- Pour a couple drops of liquid dish soap on the stain. Squirt the dish detergent directly onto the stain, and let it sit for a few minutes.[11] Be sure to use hand dish-washing soap, and not dishwasher detergent, which is much harsher. Dish soap is designed to bust oil and grease, but it is also mild and gentle. For these reasons, it's a good choice for fighting oil-based makeup stains.
- Rub the detergent in with your fingers or a damp cloth. Gently work the detergent into the stain to break up the oils in the makeup. You can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush or—for super delicate garments—the back of a spoon.[12]
- Blot the area with a clean, dry towel. In order to lift out the stain, take a clean cloth or paper towel and press it onto the treated area. Then lift the towel up off of the spot. Do not rub or wipe the stained area, since this can end up smearing the stain around.[13]
- Rinse the spot with cool water to remove the detergent. Once you've lifted out the stain with a towel, gently rinse the area to remove any remaining detergent and makeup. If the area is still stained, blot with a towel and repeat the treatment. You may need to repeat a couple times in order to get the stain out completely.[14]
- Pre-treat stubborn stains with laundry detergent. You can also use regular laundry detergent to pre-treat a makeup stain, but check the labels on the detergent and the garment to make sure the detergent is safe to use on the stained item. For delicate garments, use a detergent designed for hand-washing delicate clothes.[15]
- If you're concerned that the detergent might damage your garment, test it on an inconspicuous area first.
- Wash the garment as you normally would. Once you've treated the stain with detergent, launder the item to get out any lingering makeup or detergent. Follow the cleaning directions on the garment carefully to prevent damage.
[Edit]Getting Rid of Powder Foundation Stains - Blow away the excess powder. Powder stains are relatively easy to wash out of clothing, but they're also easy to grind in! Don't try to brush or rub away the powder. The safest way to remove excess powder is to blow it off, either by mouth or with a blow-dryer on a low setting.[16]
- For a small powder spill, a puff of air may be enough to remove the stray makeup completely. If the powder is already rubbed into your garment, you may need to wash the stain out.
- Add a few drops of liquid soap to the stain. For powder foundations, a gentle dish soap or liquid hand soap should work just fine. Put a drop or 2 of soap directly on the stain.[17]
- If you're worried about how the soap will affect your garment, test it out in an inconspicuous area first.
- Wipe the area with a damp sponge or washcloth. Wet a clean sponge or washcloth, then wring it out to remove excess water. Gently rub the stain to work in the soap and remove the powder. Rinse the cloth or sponge and repeat to get the soap out.[18]
- Blot with a clean, dry towel to get the excess water out. After treating the stain, gently blot the area with a dry towel. Be careful not to rub the garment, since this could damage the fabric or grind in any remaining makeup.
- Wash the clothing using your regular method. After spot-treating the stain, wash the garment as usual. Pay attention to the directions on the label in order to avoid damaging your clothing.
- If you've spilled a blob of liquid foundation on your clothes, scrape off the excess with the edge of a spoon or a blunt butter knife. Then, gently blot (but don't wipe) the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel. Once you've done that, treat the stain.[19]
- If you need to wear the item right away after removing the stain and can't launder and dry it first, blot the area with a clean towel, then dry the wet spot with a blow dryer.
- For delicate fabrics that are prone to water staining, feather the edges of the wet spot by gently blotting with a damp cloth in an upward and outward motion, away from the center of the stain.[20]
[Edit]Warnings - Don't try to remove stains from clothing with an oil-based makeup remover. This will leave you with an oil stain to contend with in addition to a makeup stain![21]

| How to Make French Fries Using a Deep Fryer Posted: 18 Aug 2021 05:00 PM PDT French fries are one of those foods that everyone can agree on, no matter how picky an eater they are. Most people get their fries at restaurants or in the frozen section at the grocery store, but the best way to enjoy them is to prepare them yourself at home. All you need is a deep fryer, lots of clean oil, and enough potatoes to satisfy your hunger. Be sure to make enough to share, 'cause these puppies are guaranteed to go fast! [Edit]Ingredients - 5-6 large Russet or Kennebec potatoes
- Oil for frying (peanut, canola, vegetable, sunflower, etc.)
- Sea salt
- Ketchup
- Additional spices and seasonings (optional)
- Miscellaneous condiments (optional)
Makes 4-6 servings [Edit]Cleaning and Slicing the Potatoes - Wash your potatoes with cool, clean water. Place your potatoes in a colander or wire strainer and give them a good dousing, or hold them under the faucet and rinse them off one-by-one. Use the pads of your fingers or a stiff-bristled brush to scrub away clinging dirt and debris. When you're done, shake off the excess water.[1]
- If you're a stickler for food safety, you can also soak your potatoes for 2-5 minutes in your own all-natural vegetable wash made from water, white vinegar, and lemon juice.[2]
- Remember, potatoes grow in the ground, so it's always a good idea to make sure they're nice and clean before cooking with them.
- Cut the potatoes in half down the middle. Lay out your potatoes on a cutting board or scratch-resistant surface and run a sharp knife through the center of each. Be sure to cut them lengthwise rather than widthwise to ensure that your fries don't come out short and stubby.[3]
- There's no need to peel your potatoes unless they're particularly dirty, or you prefer them without the skins. If you do decide to peel them, use a veggie peeler with a wide blade to save time.[4]
- Longer potatoes tend to make for better French fries.
- Cut the halves into slices. Rest each bisected potato against your cutting board flat-side-down and slice it longways 3-4 times. Doing so will reduce it to more manageable sections that you can then easily cut into individual fries of your preferred thickness.[5]
- For especially large potatoes, you may need to make 1 or 2 extra cuts to simplify the task of slicing.
- Slice the sections into strips. Work your way down the line turning each piece into 6-8 fries. Try to keep your cuts as consistent as you can. Once you've sliced your last potato, gather up the fries and transfer them to an empty, spacious serving or mixing bowl.[6]
- You can also cut your fries smaller, if you like. This will require making finer, more precise cuts, though, so watch your fingers.
- It's okay if not all of your fries are exactly the same thickness. Just make sure there's not such a size difference that they cook unevenly.[7]
- Soak your sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to an hour. Fill the bowl with fresh water until the potatoes are completely immersed. Keep an eye on the clock as they soak. Once they've sat for half an hour or so, it will be time to drain them and get cooking.[8]
- Alternatively, you can soak your potatoes for 2-3 hours or even overnight the day before you fry them, though this isn't a necessity.
- Giving your potatoes a good soak is optional, but it will reduce the amount of starch in the potatoes, preventing them from browning prematurely in the deep fryer.[9]
[Edit]Frying Initially to Cook the Fries Through - Fill your deep fryer up about 1/3 of the way with your preferred frying oil. Pour in the oil until it reaches the indicated fill line. Deep fryers are designed to get real hot real fast, so it's important to use an oil with a high smoke point. Peanut, canola, vegetable, and sunflower oil are all good choices.[10]
- If you use an oil with a low smoke point, such as extra virgin olive or avocado, there's a chance that it could burn before you cook time is up, ruining your fries in the process.
- Heat your oil to . Turn on your deep fryer and let it begin warming up. If your machine has a lid, make sure it's on and secure at this point to help lock in heat. Most electric deep fryers will get to their target temperature within 10-20 minutes.[11]
- Different deep fryers have different designs, settings, and functions. Follow the instructions in the owner's manual that came with your fryer to make sure you're using the device safely and correctly.[12]
- Dry your potatoes thoroughly. While you're waiting for your oil to heat up, drain the water from your sliced potatoes and dump them out onto a layer of folded paper towels. Use a separate towel to pat them dry on all sides, making sure that there's as little lingering moisture left behind as possible.[13]
- It's a well-known fact that oil and water don't mix. For this reason, adding wet food to hot frying oil a recipe for disaster.[14]
- Place your potatoes in a fry basket, if your fryer came with one. Arrange the potatoes so that they're sitting level inside the basket. This will help ensure that they cook more evenly. Avoid filling the basket more than 2/3 of the way full, as this is likely to result in inconsistent heating and could even be a potential fire hazard.[15]
- If you plan on preparing a large quantity of French fries, you may may need to do it in multiple batches, depending on the size of your deep fryer or fry basket.
- If you don't have a fry basket, you have the option of either buying one (it's sure to come in handy if you do a lot of deep frying) or using a metal skimmer or pair of metal tongs to move them in and out of the oil.[16]
- Blanch the potatoes for 4-5 minutes at . If you're using a fry basket, attach it to the edge of the fryer so that the potatoes are completely immersed in the oil. Otherwise, use your skimmer or tongs to lower the potatoes in carefully and avoid splashing.[17]
- Remember to set a timer so you'll know exactly how long your fries have been cooking.
- In order to achieve the optimum flavor and texture, you'll be cooking your French fries twice. The point of this first round is just to heat them through.
- Your fries should still be relatively soft by the time you take them out. If they begin to brown or crisp during the initial phase of frying, either your oil is too hot or you've left them in for too long.[18]
- Take the fries out and increase the heat of the oil to . Once the first 5 minutes are up, remove the basket by taking hold of the insulated handle or carefully retrieve the loose fries using your skimmer or tongs. Set the partially cooked fries on a large plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels and allow them to cool off slightly as your oil climbs to its new target temperature.[19]
- Cooling your potatoes briefly will prevent them from becoming overdone. Some chefs even chill par-cooked French fries before frying them a second time.[20]
[Edit]Frying a Second Time for the Perfect Finish - Cook your fries for 3-6 more minutes, or until crisp and golden. Put your fries back into the fryer for their second and final round of frying. Monitor them closely this time so you can pull them as soon as they're done. You'll know they're ready to come out when they just start to brown around the edges.[21]
- Plan on removing your fries out shortly before they reach the desired doneness. They'll continue to cook for a few moments after you take them out of the fryer.
- Remove the fries and allow them to cool to a safe temperature. Let your fries rest on a fresh layer of paper towels to absorb the excess oil on the outside. Needless to say, they'll be blistering hot when they first come out of the deep fryer, so hold off on eating them for at least 5 minutes while they cool off.[22]
- If you're too eager to get a nibble, you could end up burning your fingers, your mouth, or both, which would certainly make the whole experience less enjoyable.
- Consider keeping some absorbent fiber food trays on hand if you're trying to cut down on your paper towel consumption.
- Season your fries to taste. Keep things simple by sprinkling a generous amount of sea salt over your freshly-cooked fries and calling it a day. You can also dress them up a bit by hitting them with a dash of cracked black pepper or other choice spices, such as seasoned salt, ground garlic, or onion powder.[23]
- For new take on classic French fries, try combining 1/2-1 teaspoon each of black pepper, garlic powder, onion salt, paprika, and dried parsley, oregano, thyme, and basil and shaking it onto your fries.[24]
- Serve your fries with your favorite condiments and enjoy. Ketchup is a traditional crowd-pleaser, but you could also use mayo, ranch dressing, honey mustard, malt vinegar, sriracha, chili, queso, brown gravy, or whatever tickles your fancy. Dip, dab, slather, or cover them and savor every bite![25]
- Deep frying calls for a lot of oil, which can get expensive over time. Fortunately, it's perfectly alright to save and reuse your spent frying oil, at least until it takes on an unpleasant odor or begins to discolor.
- Take a moment to make sure your deep fryer is off and unplugged before you dig in.
- If potatoes aren't your thing, you can use this same method to make scrumptious homemade sweet potato, turnip, parsnip, beet, carrot, green bean, or asparagus fries, or any number of other low-carb French fry variations.[26]

| How to Lock a Discord Channel on a PC or Mac Posted: 18 Aug 2021 09:00 AM PDT This wikiHow teaches you how to lock a Discord channel when you're using a PC or Mac. Locking a channel allows you to keep the channel visible while preventing users from adding new messages or other content. This is a great idea for channels that contain a wealth of information but no longer needs new contributions. If you'd rather your users not be able to see a channel's content at all, you can make the channel private instead. [Edit]Locking a Channel While Keeping It Readable - Open Discord on your PC or Mac. You'll find Discord in your Start menu on Windows, or in the Applications folder on macOS. If you'd rather sign in on the web, you can do so at https://discord.com
- You'll need to be a server administrator (or have been assigned appropriate permissions by an administrator) to lock a channel.
- When you lock a channel, server members will still be able to see it, however, they won't be able to send messages or contribute in any other way.
- If you want to completely hide the channel from other users who you haven't specifically added, see this method instead.
- Click the server that hosts the channel you want to lock. Servers are represented by round icons running down the left side of the app.
- Click the gear next to the channel you want to lock. The gear only appears when you hover the mouse cursor over the channel's name in the list.
- Click the tab. It's the second option in the menu running along the left side of Discord.
- Click the role. You'll find this under "ROLES/MEMBERS" in the "Advanced permissions" section.[1] This displays the channel's permissions for everyone on the server.
- The "everyone" group includes every single member on the server. This means that the remaining steps will affect every single person on the server except the server owner and any server administrators.
- Click the green checkmark next to "View Channel." It's in the "General Channel Permissions" section at the top of "Advanced permissions." This ensures that everyone can still see the channel.
- Disable all other permissions under "General Channel Permissions." If you haven't already done so, click the red X next to all other permissions options in this category—Manage Channel, Manage Permissions, and Manage Webhooks.
- Click the green checkmark next to "Read Message History." It's in the "Text Channel Permissions" section. This ensures that everyone can still read what's in the channel (if that's what you want).
- If you don't want people to see past messages in the channel but do want them to be able to view messages as they happen, click the X next to this option instead.
- Click the red "X" next to all other permissions in this category. Everything else in the "Text Channel Permissions" section should be marked with an "X" so that members of the @everyone group can no longer do more than reading what's already there.
- Click the green button at the bottom. The selected channel is now set to private and cannot be used by anyone other than those you've specifically added.
- Allow some people to keep using the locked channel (optional). Now that the channel is locked, nobody but the server owner and administrators can type into it. However, if you want to allow certain members (or members who you've assigned certain roles) to keep chatting in the channel, you can add those members now. To do so:
- Scroll back up to the "Roles/Members" list under "Advanced permissions."
- If you don't see the member or role you want to edit, click the + next to "Roles/Members," and then click the role or member.
- As you did for the @everyone roll, click the X next to each permission you want to deny, and then click the green checkmark next to each permission you want to allow. Since you want to allow the selected member or role to type into the chat, make sure you've checked "Send Messages."
- Click Save changes when you're finished.
[Edit]Making a Channel Private - Open Discord on your PC or Mac. You'll find Discord in your Start menu on Windows, or in the Applications folder on macOS. If you'd rather sign in on the web, you can do so at https://discord.com
- You must be a server administrator or have the proper permissions to make a channel private.
- If you still want most server members to be able to see the content of the channel but not contribute to it, you can lock the channel to new messages while keeping the previous content readable instead.
- Click the server that hosts the channel you want to hide. Servers are represented by round icons running down the left side of the app.
- Click the gear next to the channel you want to hide. The gear only appears when you hover the mouse cursor over the channel's name in the list.
- Click the tab. It's the second option in the menu running along the left side of Discord.
- Toggle the "Private Channel" switch to On . It's at the top of the window. This makes it so nobody will be able to see the channel unless they've been added to it.
- Choose who will still have access to the channel (optional). Anyone with an Administrator or Server Owner role on the server will be able to see and use a channel by default, even if it's locked. If you want to allow any other users to be able to see the channel after making it private:
- Click the blue Add members or roles button at the top.
- If you want to allow all members with a certain role to be able to view the channel, check the box next to that role.
- If you want to give permission to individual members by name, click the checkbox(es) next to each member.
- Click Done.
- Choose permissions for people who can still view the channel. If you added members to the now-private channel in the last step, you can decide what permissions these members will continue to have in the private channel.
- Under "Advanced permissions, click the role or member you want to adjust under the "ROLES/MEMBERS" heading.
- To prevent the selected member (or members with the selected role, if you selected a role) from editing the channel or managing its permissions, click the red X next to Manage Channel, Manage Permissions, and Manage Webhooks.
- To prevent the selected member or role from inviting people to the channel, click the red X next to "Create invite" toward the top.
- If you want the selected member or role to be able to see what's in the channel but not contribute to it, click the green checkmark next to Read Message History in the "TEXT CHANNEL PERMISSIONS" section. But if you want to hide those old channel messages as well, click X next to Read Message History instead.
- Click the red X next to all other options in this section.
- Repeat for all other members or roles you are allowing to continue using the private channel.
- Click the green button at the bottom. The selected channel is now set to private and cannot be used by anyone other than those you've specifically added.
