A terrible plumber took the washing machine out of the bathroom, it does not belong here
The washing machine in the bathroom is most often located. Such placement of equipment seems quite logical at first glance.

Sometimes you should think about moving the machine to another place to increase its service life and protect yourself.
Sometimes the machine is put in the kitchen or in the corridor, but for lack of space, the machine is placed in the bathroom. Do not forget that in the bathroom humidity is always increased. This not only contributes to the development of fungal bacteria in the bathroom and in the machine, but also affects the details of the technique. Under the influence of moisture, fine details in the machine eventually begin to rust. That puts the machine out of order.
The doors of the washing machine should always be open, after washing it is worth taking out the powder tray and drying it from moisture. If this is not done, very soon on the walls of the powder tray and in the rubber band near the drum, a fetid plaque is formed. It is recommended to put the machine in a well-ventilated place. It is good if there is a small window in the bathroom, but if it is not, you need to get a hood.
Not everyone is lucky with spacious bathrooms. Sometimes you have to choose a small washing machine to fit it in the bathroom. This means that the laundry never ends. And washing a blanket or down jacket in a small machine seems unrealistic. Do not forget that the machine should be kept open, which is very inconvenient. When the bathroom is very cramped. Here either accept the appearance of mold, or hit your knee on the door will have.
When installing a machine in the bathroom, you need to remember your own safety. Installation of a washing machine in the bathroom does not meet sanitary standards. It is undesirable to take a bath or shower while working the washing machine in the bathroom. A person can be electrocuted. For the same reason, you can not use a hair dryer and ploy in the bathroom.
It is said that if it is not possible to equip a special place for a typewriter like a laundry, the best place to install a washing machine is the kitchen. The kitchen is dry, there is access to all communications, no less important is the fact that the kitchen is well ventilated. But under the countertop, the equipment will warm up, which is also not very cool.
If there is only room in the bathroom, what should I do? It is worth considering that the length of the drain hose in the machine is 1.5 m. This means that it should be installed as close as possible to the sink so that the hose reaches the sewer. The cord with a socket at the machine is also 1.5 m long, so there should be a socket nearby. You can not use an extension cord so as not to provoke a short circuit.
Since the door of the machine must be opened for some time after washing, it is necessary to leave space in the bathroom for this purpose. Perhaps it will be more convenient to install a machine with a vertical load. You can't put the machine right against the wall. When drying clothes, the machine can move from its place. If it is located close, it will damage the machine itself, and what is next to it.
Make sure that the machine is stable and does not shake during washing. Some models have legs that unscrew. This is convenient if the bathroom has an uneven floor. In order for the machine not to jump all over the bathroom, you can put a rubber mat under it.
