Hello roommate. I wanted to speak to you for a moment. I completely understand that we both live in a shared apartment. However, the issue that I'm facing is that you keep leaving the kitchen dirty after cooking. Because of this, I've seen a lot of cockroaches in the house and I would like to request you to clean the kitchen after you finish cooking. So, we both don't face any issues. I really appreciate if you help me in this matter. And thank you for your understanding and have a nice day.

I would explain to my roommate that kitchen is a shared space and it should be maintained for everyone to use. Cleanliness and hygiene play an important role in cooking. So, they should respect the shared spaces and keep them clean after their work is done in the kitchen.

i would say, hey man, this is the shared room space that we both are using. if you leave the kitchen utensils after cooking dirty, it is not acceptable that we both need to share this space. if you leave your vessels, you need to wash it by yourself, no one is there to wash it for you. i need to wash my vessels as well, so you need to keep clear everything after you're cooking. don't leave it dirty after you cook your food and everything.
