The kitchen area is a regular living space for each family, but with erratic weather changes, kitchen walls may encounter prolonged dirt and mold. Therefore, housewives should grasp some reasons to be able to limit and easily clean regularly to help keep the kitchen always clean and beautiful.
Accumulation of grease and moisture when cooking
The most common reason is the accumulation of grease from daily fried and stir-fried dishes. When cooking at high temperatures, grease will stick to the surface of the walls around the kitchen area. If not wiped immediately, the grease layer will form plaques, combined with dirt, easily creating stains.
The grease particles also act as a glue that makes bacteria easily stick, causing the kitchen walls to become moldy and black quickly. In addition, water vapor when cooking also creates a humid environment that is an opportunity for mold to grow.
Poor ventilation system
Many kitchens, even with deodorants installed, still have moldy walls and stains due to poor ventilation systems or grease filters that are too dirty and no longer able to filter air. When the ventilation system cannot push all the food odor and moisture out, they will stick to the kitchen space and walls.
The design of the kitchen is too closed, lacking natural light and ventilation windows is also a reason for air stagnation. High humidity not being released quickly is the cause of the kitchen walls continuously getting dirty and moldy, especially in the humid season.
Using inappropriate wall material
Choosing inappropriate decorative materials in the kitchen area is also one of the mistakes that many families make. Using ordinary wall paints that are not waterproof will cause grease stains to penetrate deep inside the wall, making cleaning more difficult.
Tiles with too many veins or rough surfaces can also easily become an easy hiding place for bacteria. The quality of the wall surface coating plays an important role in preventing dirty agents, helping to maintain a shiny and clean appearance for the family kitchen.
