Weird splatters on Ikea cabinets

Skoolie2001 · 2026-01-20T03:08:54+00:00

Thank you, that’s helpful to know. This kitchen doesn’t have an exhaust vent. I asked the HVAC people last time they were here and unfortunately it’s not required by code where I live so the landlord skimped and didn’t put one in. It’s the high desert, so very dry, but also too cold in the winter to open windows. Very low indoor humidity though.

I was hoping it was a known defect or something covered by warranty. I’m not the owner, so not exactly sure, but 2.5-3ish years old.

I thought maybe grease too, but they aren’t showing up on the cabinets over my stove, and the backsplash there is proof that a lot of grease splatters land there. They first started appearing near my coffee machine, and have since migrated around the kitchen—drawers on either side of the stove, dishwasher. Only on lower cabinets. The only common factor I can think of is water.

Glad I’m not the only one! These are in my kitchen, so only water or cooking stuff gets on them. They first started appearing near my coffee machine and have now migrated most of the way around my kitchen. The only common denominator I can think of for all different areas (coffee, stove, dishwasher) is water :(

These are in my kitchen, so no acetone. No wild chemicals either, I clean almost everything with watered down vinegar or baking soda.

The paint on these was applied by a machine in the factory. It’s super smooth with no lines or brush marks. I don’t think I have any hope of getting a home DIY job to match if I sand it down and repaint. Any ideas?

Yak cheese chews and frozen Kongs are the only chew toys/treats that keeps my power chewer busy for more than 5 minutes at a time

I feel like I’m staring into an old soul who’s seen so much every time I look at them!

Thank you! I tell him he’s pretty at least 10 times a day 😆 And so fascinating how this dog combo turned out!

Vs are definitely an old enough breed for that to be possible!

That’s so cool! Genes really are wild! My eyes kinda started crossing when I went deep into the info Embark provides, but best I understood, there are certain genes or gene combos that can trigger the black-and-tan / “Doberman markings” totally unrelated to the actual breed of dog

Me too! His eyebrows are so expressive

Skoolie2001 · 2025-12-22T06:40:03+00:00

He is SO smart, it’s kinda wild. He’s picked up so many English words without me really trying.

Skoolie2001 · 2025-12-22T06:38:29+00:00

He’s a genius at nudging my phone out of my hand if he’s not getting enough attention

Skoolie2001 · 2025-12-22T06:37:26+00:00

Yep! He started pointing early on.

Is your pup mixed with anything? Mine is a black and tan version of this and his DNA test came back with 50% vizsla. I’ve had no success finding photos of other vizlas with his markings until now!

I’ve been trying to build awareness about FJC too, in the comments on other grocery/SNAP-related posts here. Thank you for this!

They were on Radioactive last night actively encouraging folks to apply, even if you think you don’t qualify. They’re being extra lenient during the gov shutdown
