not all parts of Australia.....
Here in Victoria, floor drains in bathrooms and kitchens are not required, and are unusual. We didn't put one in when we built our house, but should have.....
A few days ago my partner put a few things into the LG front loader, didn't quite shut the door properly, put it on and went outside. Unfortunately the door lock cut off switch hasn't worked for years, I left it that way as I quite like being able to add something to the wash without waiting for the door to release.
I spent that evening vacuuming up the mess with a wet and dry vac. 3 full vacuum cleaner drums at 25 litres per drum, plus a bit more. I had to remove the kickboards under the cupboards in the laundry and kitchen. What a mess!!! The side panels of the cupboard in the laundry have swollen and will need to be replaced.
the door lock will be fixed soon...
Should have fitted a floor drain...
