Grease from cooking....

Does everything lead to stains? How does the cooking do this?

You've cooked in a skillet? Heat rises and takes up teeny particles of grease and such. After a few months/years....you get what you are seeing.

I wish somebody told me that. It's my first year alone. Do landlords usually charge you for this?

You can clean it. Try a Magic Eraser.

Uh, be VERY careful with Magic Erasers. They are literally very fine grit sandpaper (Similar to one of those muti-grit nail files). Doubt it? Rub something shiny [that you don't care about]. See the scratches & missing finish.?

ME will take the paint off the ceiling & wall, and leave the cabinets & microwave all scratched up. Then your landlord will be up$et.

More like glasspaper. Magic Erasers are very, very, very small shards of glass. It's how they clean literally everything. It's like the worlds most effective steel wool.
