Where dirt actually hides in Elephant and Castle homes
Extractor filters and the cupboard tops above the hob
Aerosolised cooking grease lands on the filter, the canopy and the flat tops of the wall units, then holds dust. It is the single dirtiest square metre in most London kitchens and the one a weekly clean never touches.
