# Why do my walls look yellow even though they were white? | Time Paints

In a majlis or sitting room, the most common cause is incense and bukhoor, which leave a fine yellow film that settles into the paint over years and that cleaning no longer lifts. Cooking and strong sun add to it. Once the yellowing is in the paint surface itself, a repaint with a quality washable finish is the fix.
