Would Do - Ceiling High Kitchen Cabinets
This will avoid dust and grease buildup, plus more storage.
Wouldn't Do - Spiral Kitchen Tap
Looks great and professional. However, dust and dirt accumulate a lot in between spirals.
Wouldn't Do - Mirror Behind A Tap
Just catches all the splashes.
Would Do - Electric Or Induction Cooktop
Needs only a quick wipe after each use. What a dream.
Wouldn't Do - Open Plan Range Hood
Collects grease and dust. At the same time, hard to reach the top.
Wouldn't Do - Round Shower Cabin
Harder to clean. Squeegee and get into sliding fixtures. Could save space but would keep as a last resort.
Wouldn't Do - Black Glass Top Table Or Furniture
Reflects dust so much, even when cleaned frequently.
Wouldn't Do - Corded Wooden Or Metal Blinds
Corded wooden or metal blinds get tangled, collect dust, dirt and mold. Very, very, very hard to clean.
Would Do - Rimless Toilet
My favorite. So easy to clean and no place for germs to breed.
Would Do - Any Non Reflective Splashback
Non-reflective surface leaves less to no streaks during cleaning.
Would Do - Shower Without A Glass And With Larger Tiles For Less Grout
Would Do - Bath Attached To The Wall
If not attached, there is water, dust, and mold in this little gap between the wall and bath.
Wouldn't Do - Kitchen Rug
Looks good but gets dirty constantly with all the cooking.
Would Do - Integrated Range Hood
Looks seamless and avoids dirt buildup. Only filters need to be washed manually or in the dishwasher on a low, medium heat short cycle.
Wouldn't Do - Matte And Black Matte Kitchen Cabinets Or Anything Matte
The moment you touch it, it leaves marks. Especially hard to clean oily stains. Looks stunning though.
Wouldn't Do - Black Granite Sink
Hard water stains are real. After it's stained, really hard to clean.
Wouldn't Do - Stainless Steel Bench Top
Requires a lot of polishing for a clean look. Best for commercial kitchens.
Would Do - Kitchen Appliances In The Pantry Cabinet
Appliances all on display require more frequent cleaning.
Easier to place them in the cabinet and do a maintenance clean.

I agree absolutely:
I was looking for an life hack e.g. how to clean the greased tiles near my cooking place.
There is no way that I will redesign my rented appartement this weekend...
thank you.
I will look for something similar either in a German or a Danish supermarket.
At least, one advantage of living very close (200m) to the border
Not only that, when did the word "hack" become associated with implementing an improvement on something? "Life hacks, study hacks, cooking hacks" etc etc. It's like the word "This" when depicting something considered unusual. "This smoking toaster, This vacant lot, This guy flipping off a group of Nuns." SO? What of it? Drop the word 'This' and the subject matter remains the same. It's superfluous and pretentious.
