> how outlandish certain ideas were about peeling your house clean

Not that outlandish. My shower glass is covered in high tech hydrophobic substance which keeps it clean, but I have to replace it every couple of years. My kid's high chair is covered in easily washable rubber surface that I can literally peel off after a meal, rinse, and replace.

So overall, practical idea that is partially applied.

Hell, my house has vinyl siding. No repainting every 5-10 years and you can pressure wash it in an hour or two. Close enough!
