Try to answer the question: in which of all the rooms in the house does the wallpaper get dirty the fastest?

We bet you named the kitchen without a moment's hesitation.

Indeed, due to fat particles in the air, which no hood can remove, drops of water, and steam rising from pots and pans, stains appear on the walls every now and then.

Because of this, the appearance of the wallpaper leaves much to be desired.

If you don’t have any renovation plans in the near future, you will have to deal with the pollution using folk methods.

To do this, you will need a piece of bread, which should be applied to a fresh greasy stain and held for several minutes.

Since the bread will absorb most of the fat, all you have to do is apply salt to the stain and leave it for 30 minutes so that the white crystals absorb the rest of the dirt.

If you have to deal with an old stain, you will need to treat it with an iron.

Place a paper towel over the stained area and run a heated iron over it. The high temperature will melt the dried grease, which will be absorbed into the paper.

Please note that the napkin should be changed (and not just once). Otherwise, the fat may burn and penetrate the wallpaper even deeper.

Another important point: you must ensure that the iron does not overheat.
