Washing machines are one of the essential home appliances for households. However, in the face of such a huge object, how to set them up is the biggest problem. We must not only consider the issue of power and drainage, but also consider how we can more easily dry clothes.
Although the average family will choose to be on the balcony, what other places are suitable for placing washing machines besides the balcony?
balcony
This needless to say, most families will choose to be on the balcony. This is quite understandable. Generally speaking, the utilization rate of the balcony itself is not high and it is suitable for drying clothes. It not only saves space, but also is very convenient. The sun can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria. In addition, the balcony is relatively ventilated, the inside of the washing machine is not easy to breed bacteria.
However, there are some problems that need to be noted when washing machines are placed on balconies. First, direct sunlight should be avoided. Otherwise, the washing machine is likely to turn yellow. In addition, the drain pipes of balconies are generally rainwater pipes, not special sewage pipes, and are also prone to environmental pollution. If you put the washing machine on the balcony, it is best to do a special pipe.
To prevent direct sunlight, you can add a protective cover for the washing machine, washing machine cover, closed balcony can be installed curtains. In addition, weather is easy to sprinkle water, sockets and washing machines should pay attention to prevent water from getting wet.
bathroom
In addition to the balcony, the bathroom is also a good choice. The washing machine is placed in the bathroom to facilitate the storage of the laundry. When you take a bath, you can simply throw it out of the laundry in a laundry bucket. No other buckets are needed. Others such as the basket will receive clothes. It is also very convenient, the bathroom off-the-shelf sewer, do not need to build a special sewage pipe.
Of course, there will be bad places in the bathroom. Because the toilet water vapor is relatively large, and the washing machine housing and many internal parts are generally made of metal materials, long-term exposure to the wet environment, the machine housing and internal parts easily wet Rusty.
As a result, the machine may become biochemical and cause short circuit or electric shock, and the damp environment is prone to mold. The bathroom must be opened and ventilated frequently, and the ventilation should keep the bathroom dry.
kitchen
In general, washing machines in the kitchen are still relatively rare in China. Usually there is no balcony or the smaller family will use this solution.
This program is mainly to save space, maximize the use of space in the kitchen. But generally do not recommend everyone to put the washing machine in the kitchen, because the kitchen is fuming, when cooking and cooking, it will inevitably contaminated the washing machine with soot.
If you do not wash for a long time, it will cause the outer layer of the washing machine to be very 'greasy', so you can put it in your clothes and it is psychologically difficult to accept.
In addition, the washing machine is placed in the kitchen. After washing, clothes are often forgotten to dry. However, washing machines on the kitchen seem to be popular abroad.
The first is that foreign drainage systems are somewhat different from those in China. Second, foreign users are less likely to be as keen on cooking as Chinese people are. They basically do not stir fry foods, so they effectively avoid fumes.
Of course, for a family that does not like cooking, the kitchen is in name only, so putting the washing machine in the kitchen makes a reasonable use of the kitchen space.
to sum up
