Utility Rooms

[toggleswitch2]

Now Andrew, every time a guest walks in your kitchen with his shoes on, he is transporting in all kinds of fun stuff such as doogie doo, doggie whiz, male cat "spray", mud, lawn chemicals, decaying bugs and other organic materials. All this above and beyond those lovely imported and domestic male humans that spit everywhere to mark their territory as aminals do.

It doesn't pay to overthink these things.

Not There Dear, I Like To Face The Window

Aside from formal parties and such, all persons entering our home remove their shoes. Saves them from tracking all and sundry muck and filth into my home.

Do not go as far as stopping tradesmen like Hyacinth, but will grab old newspapers like Edie Pegden to either line their path or keep them off my walls.

*LOL*

Oh hell no they don't Steve....I make everyone take their shoes off when they come into the house. Besides, my two dogs do a good enough job of tracking whatever stuff they have on their paws, etc., into the kitchen!! My only real objection is the dust from the dryer lint and the fact that I like to be able to just close the door so no one can see the mess in there since that's the staging area on laundry days. Between the clothes, the dog's towels, rugs, sheets, and blankets, it's convenient to be able to close the door and hide all of it! It's also a terrific storage area!!

Well, while I have no problems with doing laundry in the kitchen, I certainly see advantages of having a separate utility room if you have space for it, but that is not because of dust from the dryer. I think that you should inspect your dryer to see if there is no air leak. I have never had problems with dust from my Miele dryer.

Mine has a filter to collect the lint ;-)
