Laundry chute - Hygiene? How to keep it clean

I have my ironing done - no, honestly, at the moment I have a lovely mother-in-law who irons for us. If she ever can't do it anymore, then I would either have the cleaning lady do it or give it away as long as I am still working, and when I retire a) I will hardly have any clothes left that absolutely need ironing anyway and b) then I will stand in our light-flooded gallery and look at the mountains while ironing

Does your mother-in-law still take orders?

How much laundry do you please hang up? With us, 90% goes in the dryer. Done.

Somehow I can't really believe that such a drop won't develop into a breeding ground for bacteria over time...

then I will probably prefer to carry the laundry basket down instead of just carrying it up (there is no question of dragging it in this case). Going down is easier than going up anyway.

You can do whatever you want, but you will definitely regret it. but such a WAF is also not exactly cheap, even if you build it yourself you're looking at nearly four digits just for the material. Having it done costs around 2000 euros.

You just can’t hide it that easily because of the diameter like a water pipe or something similar.

We’ll see, I think my health will thank me for it. And above all, wet laundry shouldn’t just be taken down and left, but rather dried before it goes on the laundry pile. So you also can’t just let it down again.

By the time the chute has turned into a breeding ground for bacteria, the little ones will be just the right size to still fit through the pipe. Stick microfiber cloths all around and into the pipe.

Regarding decorated bodysuits/clothes/bedding – as others have already mentioned, you wash those beforehand and don't just throw them into the washing machine... always nice when you're dealing with that at 2 a.m. – but they will surely thank us for it.
