 Unlike interior painting–which allows for some leeway with cleaning–you must clean your house's siding before painting. There's just no way around it.  As an experiment, rub a clean white cloth across the unwashed siding. The cloth will likely come up dark-gray with a layer of fine soot. Even after pressure washing, you may still find that a thin layer of dirt remains on the siding. Paint applied to dirty siding will adhere in the short term. But over the years, your house will experience paint failure faster than if it were applied to clean siding. So, washing the siding is always recommended.

 If you love coffee, you've probably given all the types of coffee makers a try—the single-cup Keurig, a French press, a moka pot—even used a grinder for fresh grounds. If you're like many coffee drinkers, you've returned to the classic coffee pot because it makes enough coffee to serve a tableful of drinkers and quickly makes another potful for seconds. Most classic coffee makers work by pumping hot water through a filtered basket of coffee grounds into a glass carafe. These makers are reliable, often have a warming plate, and are simple to use. They also need to be cleaned regularly to remove minerals that cling to the maker from the water used and coffee oils that cling to the components, become rancid, and ruin the taste of the coffee.
