Hello,
In the current kitchen trash chute thread, I came across the following quote:

You always have to clean these from time to time, since something will occasionally spill or drip inside.
Wouldn’t a chute around the corner be more effective?

Regarding laundry chutes, how do you handle hygiene? Are the pipes always made of antibacterial metal, or how do you clean them?
Nothing typically spills outside, but it’s also not the case that they are completely clean or free of dirt inside.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

You can also soak a thick sauna towel in (any disinfectant) every few (any unit of time), tie it into a ball with a long rope so that it plugs the pipe, insert it into the shaft with the rope end first, and pull it through from below.

Or use silver pipes, since they are antibacterial, right?

Or install a pipe heating system and a stainless steel pipe, and regularly heat it to over (I'm not a biologist) 65°C (149°F).

I don’t have the toilet in the living room either, although it would be more practical. But there are arguments for both options; it depends on what is more important to you and how much space you have.

Well, some people plan a power outlet with USB next to the toilet because the smartphone battery often runs out while sitting there.

Where do you hang laundry then?

The dryer is located next to the washing machine, and opposite that is a drying rack or behind the house (advantage of a sloped site).

What cool appliances you have. We have Bosch and Miele. Maybe we need to buy new ones again or are using them wrong. Both are brand new and make noise. Also, T-shirts are shrinking.

A dryer is rubbish, clothes get damaged and shrink. Nowadays, almost nothing is allowed in the dryer. But okay...

Actually, everything can go in. Just not at 1000% (very high heat) for 6 hours. We always do 60 minutes already. After that, it's just damp, without hair and lint, and fluffy.

Strange – I actually suspect f7 for supply air and g4 for exhaust air.
g4 + f7 supply air (this way the f7 lasts longer when the g4 acts as a pre-filter) and g4 exhaust air before the heat exchanger.
