@crinrict I think that's probably more accurate to what is going on. I do have a neat sim in this case with the kettle and pressure cooker in the kitchen. I'll try some of the other tests with the post you linked and see if I can narrow down the cause.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Just popping in to say I'm also experiencing this bug. I have a neat sim and removing either (or sometimes both) the electric kettle and rice cooker removes the filthy surroundings moodlet. I play on PC. I'm on the lot in the for rent world with mold trait
Furthermore! I'd put the electric kettle and pressure cooker in my sims inventory to remove the dirty surroundings buff. I just had the option to remove dirty dishes from my sim's inventory through the option that usually comes up when you leave a dirty plate in your sim's inventory but this time it was the kettle and pressure cooker, when my sim took the 'dishes' from his inventory the kettle and pressure cooker disappeared (implying the game thought they were dirty dishes) and then washed them up in the sink. Maybe they're coded in a way that makes them act like dirty dishes for some reason?
I experienced the same thing! I put the pressure cooker into my sims inventory to get rid of the smelly environment and she is a neat sim so she autonomously cleaned out the "dirty dishes" from her inventory which was in fact the pressure cooker itself.
