How to use newspapers in the kitchen

If you have a gas stove and you regularly fry something on it, then sooner or later the upper kitchen surface It's covered in fat. Mixing with dust, it turns into a terrible sticky mass, which, in fact, is quite difficult to wash.

Dust and soot stick better to the food film, it does not warp and is better kept on the surface of furniture. Linoleum lies well, it is not blown away by the wind from the window, and, most importantly, it is easy to wash and put again in its former place.





A radical solution to the problem is to change the gas stove to an electric one or install the kitchen under the ceiling. We have previously considered the advantages and disadvantages of this design and talked about how to lift to the ceiling old cabinets of standard height.
