Hello roommate. How are you? Do you have some time to talk to me now? I wanted to bring up a hygiene concern that's been bothering me. Um, we have a common kitchen and usually after cooking you are leaving the kitchen very messy and unclean. Um, allowing the other people to not use the kitchen because it's so dirty. Could you please clean up after yourself? So, it's a little easier for everybody else as well. All of us share the space. I think it'll be great if you can keep it neat. All of us can keep at need.

while living in a shared apartment, one of my roommates keeps leaving the kitchen dirty after cooking. i would go and talk to him and remind him to kindly clean the kitchen after he is done as it's a shared place and the common area. i would also remind him and tell him that there are many issues of cockroaches and insects getting accumulated in that sink which is very disgusting and can be harmful for the other roommates. i would also remind him that in case this does not work there will be consequences.

Hey, can we chat for a minute? I have noticed the kitchen has been getting left pretty messy after cooking and it's been a bit frustrating because we all share the space. I totally understand that everyone get PC and forward. Sometimes it happens to me too. But could we make make sure we are cleaning up after ourself so the kitchen stays stable for everyone? I had really appreciate it. If there is something making it hard or if you need to agree on some cleaning expectations together, I'm open to figuring it out. Thank you.
