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.

Yes, everything. Just not for 1000% over 6 hours. We always use 60 minutes already. Afterwards, it’s dry to the touch, without hair or lint, and fluffy.
But you can’t fold and put partially dry items in the closet, right? That would smell musty?

Is it a long pipe or several sections connected with couplings or similar? That would have joints.

Spiral seam.

Or use silver pipes, they are antibacterial, right?

They just look silver (steel sheet), no silver (Ag).

No, I meant real silver pipes, or pipes coated with silver. Of course, I understand that they don’t exist or wouldn’t be affordable. It wasn’t meant to be taken too seriously.

There are also door handles with antibacterial coatings... those are probably even bigger germ carriers than the laundry chute. Have you planned those yet, @ludwig88sta?
Or refrigerators, weren’t they also quite bad in terms of germ contamination?

Yes, and cars, touchscreens, and everything else... much greater potential for danger.

But you can’t put partially dried materials together in a cupboard, can you? That would cause a musty smell, right?
Then they’ll be hung up instead.

T-shirts also become smaller

After Christmas, this condition is usually not caused by the dryer...
