Chandigarh kitchens are larger than the national average, and most sector houses have a separate utility or wash area attached — sometimes a small room, sometimes a covered verandah with the sink and washing machine. That space collects its own kind of grime, and it is the single most common thing people expect to be included and find is not.
The kitchens themselves face a straightforward mix: cooking film on the usual surfaces, moderate hard water on the sink, and pollen and seed fluff through spring that lands in the film while it is still tacky.
