        "text": "Thorough surface preparation is essential in kitchens due to airborne grease, cooking oils, and food splatters that stop paint from bonding properly. The process begins with cleaning surfaces using a heavy-duty degreaser, followed by patching nail holes and fixing moisture-damaged drywall. Next, surfaces are lightly sanded to smooth uneven spots and create mechanical adhesion. High-adhesion, stain-blocking primers are applied over repaired spots, bare wood, or water marks. Finally, drop cloths and plastic sheeting are placed to shield countertops, appliances, and flooring before paint application starts.",
