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

I get my laundry ironed – no, honestly, right now I have a wonderful mother-in-law who does the ironing for us. If she can no longer do it, I would either have the cleaning service handle it or give it away while I’m still working. Once I retire, a) I probably won’t have many clothes left that really need ironing, and b) I’ll stand on our bright gallery and enjoy the mountain view while ironing myself. Does your mother-in-law still accept ironing jobs?

So I will probably prefer to carry the laundry basket down myself, instead of just carrying it up (there’s no question of dragging, considering how light it is). Going down is easier than going up anyway.

ludwig88sta31 Jan 2020 09:27You can’t really hide it as easily as a water pipe or something similar because of its diameter.
Let’s see, I think my health will benefit from it. And especially, you shouldn’t just throw damp laundry down without more thought—it’s better to let it dry before putting it in the laundry pile. So, you can’t just throw it down either.

so I will probably prefer to carry the laundry basket down as well, not just carry it up (there’s no way you could call it dragging). Going down is easier than going up anyway Before the chute turns into a bacteria hotspot, the little ones are exactly the right size to fit through the pipe. Wrap them all around with microfiber cloths and send them down the chute.
Regarding decorated bodysuits/clothes/bedding – as others have already mentioned, you wash those separately beforehand and don’t just throw them into the washing machine... It’s always a fun task to deal with at 2 a.m. – but they will definitely thank us for it.
