However, because the size of washing machines is generally relatively large, many people will be confused when decorating their houses. Where should I put the washing machine? But for this problem, why don't many experts suggest putting the washing machine on the balcony? At first, I didn't know why. It was not until I installed the washing machine myself that an old master accidentally let it slip, and I realized that there was such a stress.
1, for developers, when building a house, it is rare to reserve a special sewage pipe on the balcony, and at most, leave a rainwater pipe. Many owners mistakenly regard the drainage pipe as a sewage pipe when decorating, and directly connect the washing machine drainage pipe. In fact, this practice is wrong, because most washing powders contain phosphorus. Once dirty water containing phosphorus and other pollutants is discharged into urban rivers through rainwater pipes, it will cause great damage to river water quality and aquatic plants. Therefore, in order to protect the environment, experts do not recommend putting the washing machine on the balcony.
2. For the washing machine itself, if it is placed on the balcony, it will often be exposed to direct sunlight, which will cause harm to the washing machine itself for a long time and reduce its service life.
3. For the owner himself, firstly, in order to increase the living room space, many people now pack the washing machine directly into the living room as a small rest area. If you put another washing machine, it is not only ugly, but also does not conform to the overall style; Second, even if the drain of the washing machine is connected with a rainwater pipe, some waterway reconstruction is still needed, which will increase some decoration costs.
So if the washing machine is not placed on the balcony, where is it more suitable? The decoration master said that these two places can be given priority, but the priority should be decided according to the actual situation.
1. Toilet: It is a traditional and widely used method to put the washing machine in the bathroom, because the water in the bathroom is convenient and there are corresponding sewage pipes, which have unique advantages in both water supply and drainage.
And now many owners choose to separate wet from dry when making toilets. If they put the washing machine in a dry area, they don't have to worry that the shower area will cause corrosion damage to the internal parts of the washing machine. However, it should be noted that it is necessary to consider whether the bathroom at home is large enough to meet the placement of the washing machine and try not to affect the normal use of other functions.
2. Kitchen: With the continuous improvement of construction technology, more and more people begin to accept and choose the open kitchen, and putting the washing machine in the kitchen is often the best choice.
First, the kitchen is also one of the places where there is a lot of water in the home. There is a pipe arrangement similar to that of the bathroom, so it is convenient to get water up and down. The drain of the washing machine can be directly connected to the sewer pipe of the sink, so that the dirty water can be discharged without polluting the environment.
Second, the kitchen itself is relatively dry. There is no need to worry about the laundry being in a humid environment for a long time, which will lead to corrosion of internal parts and no sunshine in the kitchen. It can be said that this environment is very suitable for placing washing machines.
