Who has a laundry chute?

I have dreams of renovating one day and one of the things I covet is a laundry chute. One that goes straight down to a largish utility room below where I can wash, dry (in machines and on racks), iron and fold, all in one room.

Does anyone have one of these and if so, tell me about it!

I haven't got one but just wanted to say that sounds great! I Would like to have a person in the room to all all washing/drying/ironing too! Grin

I'd like one. Our utility room is below a room we could put it in. I just need to work out how you childproof it.

my sister has one.
it is very narrow (has to be so that small people cannot fall down.)
stuff gets stuck all the time and has to be prised free with long sticks from below.

Ha I could just imagine my dcs and their friends using it as a slide!

My parents do. It's in an upstairs hall closet and the clothes are caught in a laundry basket in the laundry room downstairs. I wouldn't say they couldn't live without it but it's used quite a bit. Never had a problem with things getting stuck.

I always wanted a laundry chute but now no longer need it. Our laundry room is on the same level as the bedrooms. It is bliss!

It would take my DC about 0.000001 seconds to find it, attempt to use it as a slide and get stuck/break a leg, but I still want one.

It sounds brilliant! I didn't know people still had them in real life. Have only seen them on scooby doo etc
