Article: If you are painting laminate that will be exposed to lots of moisture, such as a bench top, you will need to choose a water-proof paint. For surfaces that receive a lot of wear and tear, such as floors or bench tops, a heavy-duty paint is a good option. When purchasing your paint, look for cans that advertise the qualities that you need. Acrylic paint is a good option for most furniture. If you are unsure of what color to paint the laminate, bring home a variety of paint swatches from a paint store. Place these on the laminate to help you decide which color looks best. Consider using a gloss or semi-gloss paint as these will make the surface easy to wipe clean. Open the paint can using a 5-in-1 tool. Push the tool under the edge of the paint lid and use it to pry open the lid. Place the lid out of the way so you don't stand on it. Use the wooden paddle to stir the paint in a circular motion. Continue mixing the paint until the colour is even and all the liquids are combined. If you cannot get the liquids to combine after 15 minutes of stirring, take the paint to a paint store and ask them to shake the paint for you. Place the bottom of the bristles into the paint and push them against the inside walls of the can. This will push the paint into the brush. Gently tap the brush handle against the rim of the can, whilst the brush is over the can, to remove any excess paint. Use a paint brush that is suitable for the size of the area you are painting. If you are painting a small area, select a small brush. Use a larger brush if you are painting a large area. Use your brush to paint any places that will be hard to reach using a roller, such as corners and ridges. Use back and forth strokes to cover the difficult areas in a thin layer of paint.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose a paint that is designed for the area you are painting. Stir the paint using a wooden stirring paddle. Dip the bottom of the brush into the paint. Paint the corners and any hard to reach places.

Problem: Article: Like anything else, if your boots are dirty, they need to be cleaned. Fill a basin with warm water and mix in a small amount of mild detergent. Remove the insoles from your boots and whisk them through the soapy water, making sure each is washed and rinsed thoroughly. Wipe the inside and outside of the boots clean using a washcloth. Allow the boots to dry completely, or microorganisms will build back up due to the moisture. If your boots see a lot of use, you should aim to clean them every couple of weeks. Hang the boots or set them aside in a well-ventilated area until dry. Sprinkle a little baking soda into the bottom of your boots. Make sure the baking soda gets down to the toe and midsole areas. Allow the boots to sit overnight. The baking soda will absorb and neutralize foot odors that have set into the material on the inside of the boots. Be sure to shake the excess baking soda out of your boots before wearing them. Try out a mixture of baking soda and cat litter, which is also formulated to absorb odors. Purchase a small bottle of disinfecting spray (the pharmaceutical variety will work, or you might look for kinds that are specifically designed to be used to treat footwear), or whip up a homemade batch using rubbing alcohol/and or vinegar and essential oils. Spray each boot thoroughly, inside and out. This won't do away with a powerful stench immediately, but it will work to kill the bacteria that are causing it. If you decide to use vinegar, it's recommended that you top it off with a spritz of air freshener or a drop of essential oils to offset the smell, which can be unpleasant on its own. Even after you've dealt with the worst of the problem, subtle odors may remain. Continue cleaning and disinfecting your boots consistently, and freshen them with essential oils in the meantime. Essential oils are natural fragrant botanical extracts that are wonderful for covering up offensive smells. Just dab a few drops of rosemary, peppermint or tea tree oil into your boots at night, store them somewhere dry and let the oils do the rest. Because of their pleasant aroma and antimicrobial properties, essential oils are commonly used as a holistic alternative to deodorant, hand soap and even perfume.
Summary: Scrub the boots with soap and water. Soak up odors with baking soda. Treat each boot with disinfecting spray. Use essential oils to cover lingering odors.

There should be an outdoor shutoff near the condenser unit. This will resemble a square box on the wall of the apartment or house. Inside, look for a switch that you can slide to the "OFF" position. If there is no switch, you'll need to manually pull the plug which feeds power to the condenser. Before you begin disassembling any portion of the condenser, it's crucial that you disable the power supply. If you cannot find the power outlet where the compressor unit is plugged in, or if you're inclined to be extra cautious, you can simply flip the switch to "OFF" in the circuit breaker box which controls power to the AC condenser. The fine, narrow slats of metal which line the sides of the compressor unit are called "fins." You can clean the fins by running the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner over them; this will remove the debris and allow the condenser to pull in air without obstruction. A wet/dry vacuum is the tool best suited for this job. The condenser unit sucks in air through these fins. Over the course of time, these will become dirty with bits of leaves, grass, and dust. If you don't have a wet/dry vacuum, see if any of your friends or neighbors have one. You may also be able to rent a wet/dry vacuum from your local hardware store. Often with normal wear, some fins on the condenser can become bent. If you notice that any of the fins are crooked or have been twisted, you can use a knife or kitchen utensil to gently straighten the fins. Apply gentle, steady pressure to bend the fins back into position. If you use excessive force, you risk snapping off the fins or damaging them further. The fan unit sits on top of the compressor, and is typically covered by metal wiring or a grate. Using a screwdriver, remove the wiring on top of the fan, and then unscrew and remove the fan itself. Due to the wires connecting the fan motor to the compressor unit, you may not be able to fully lift off the fan. You'll simply have to lift the fan as far out of its housing as possible. Using your garden hose, rinse any debris (bits of leaves, grass, dust, or pollen) from the blades of the fan. To make sure that the fan blades are clean, you can also wipe them off with a clean cloth or rag. Then, use the hose again to spray water through the compressor's fins from the inside of the unit. Rinsing the fins from the inside will make sure that any obstructions are cleared, and the unit can effectively draw in air. Once you've finished cleaning the fan blades and the interior of the compressor, you're ready to put everything back together. Set the fan back in place, and re-insert the screws holding it to the metal frame. Do the same thing with the metal wiring over the top of the fan. At this point, you can also turn the power supply back on.
