Many people limit kitchen cleaning to washing dishes, countertops and floors, completely forgetting to vertical surfaces. However, it is the walls that take the brunt of the impact during cooking. Over time, an invisible cocktail of grease particlesThe kitchen gradually loses its freshness and the interior looks unkempt even after general cleaning. If this layer is ignored, the kitchen gradually loses its freshness and the interior starts to look unkempt even after a general cleaning.
There are several good reasons why you should include wiping down the walls in your regular schedule:
-
Eliminating stubborn odors. Grease has the property of absorbing food odors. If there is a sticky buildup on the walls, even ventilating will not get rid of the heavy odor of “last night’s dinner”. Clean walls allow the air to remain neutral.
-
Fighting allergens and bacteria. Kitchen humidity combined with organic particles is an ideal breeding ground for microorganisms. Regular cleaning prevents the appearance of mold and fungus in hard-to-reach corners.
-
Preserving the appearance of the finish. Acids and pigments in food vapors gradually eat into paint or wallpaper. Timely removal of fresh plaque is much cheaper than unscheduled repairs due to discoloration of surfaces.
-
Improved lighting. Dirty walls absorb light, making the room visually narrower and darker. Glossy or light-colored surfaces reflect sunlight and lamp light better after washing.
It is not necessary to use aggressive chemicals for effective care. In most cases, a mild soap solution and a microfiber cloth will suffice. It is important to move from top to bottom so that dirty drops do not spoil already cleaned areas. Particular attention should be paid to the areas above the stove, sink and dining table, where the concentration of dirt is highest.
The cleanliness of the walls directly affects the overall feeling of hygiene and comfort in the cooking area. Systematic care of all surfaces eliminates the need for grueling hours of cleaning in the future. Regular tidying makes the kitchen a truly cozy and safe space for the whole family.
