A WOMAN has sparked an online debate after claiming that the best place for a washing machine should be in your BATHROOM.
Twitter user Melis, from Germany, shared snaps of the household device next to a toilet with the caption: “It‘s the MOST NORMAL thing”.
Her claim shocked many online users, with many saying the woman actually made perfect sense and they now felt “dumb”.
The post has over 60,000 likes with some people agreeing that it makes “zero sense” to keep the appliance in the kitchen.
Her tweet said: “In Germany it‘s the MOST NORMAL thing that washing machines are placed in bathrooms and not in the kitchen where it definitely doesn‘t belong????”
And one converted homeowner said: “It makes complete sense for washing machines to be in the bathroom and I can’t answer why us Brits put them in the kitchen either.”
Meanwhile others were blown away and said: “Omg what? I have it in my kitchen and I thought it was the most normal thing.”
And one pointed out: “Can you imagine taking your clothes off and putting them DIRECTLY in the wash.... genius.”
However, some Brits defended washing machines being placed in the kitchen, with one person writing: “Nah they definitely go in the kitchen won’t have it any other way.”
And others argued that there is often no space in any other room to house the appliance than in the kitchen.
A person replied: “Okay listen the UK is small. Our bathrooms barely have enough space for a person let alone a whole washing machine.”
Even Location, Location, Location presenter Kirsty Allsopp has weighed in on the debate.
She said two years ago that she’s supportive of washing machines NOT being in the kitchen, and commented: “It is disgusting, my life's work is in part dedicated to getting washing machines out of the kitchen.”
So what do you think?
