That explains! I've wondered why people in movies/series would keep washing machines in the kitchen.
Around here in medium size houses like mine the washing machine is typically placed in the same room as one of the toilets and the room is referred to as the washing room (vaskerom).
- OJFord 6y agoThat would actually be allowed AFAIK - it's the bath/shower that makes it a bathroom (both in British English usage and electrical regs!) and banishes the white goods. But WCs tend to be v. small (as if given a little extra space architects say What shall we do, Fred, cupboard or loo?) so can't house them either. Usually (flats/small houses aside) they'll be in the scullery (adjoining the kitchen) though, not actually in the 'cooking area'.
- rsynnott 6y agoI’d say in the vast majority of house they’re in the kitchen; most don’t have a scullery/utility room.
