Are you in danger by carrying dirty washing?How a load of washing could be detrimental to your health. Carrying washing from the upper level to the lower level of your property is boring. This is a chore and a thankless task. You spend time collecting dirty garments from the various washing baskets littered around your property, take them to your laundry room, and finally, begin the washing cycle. Is there a danger involved in this process though? Could you be running a risk simply by performing this regular task, and wouldn't it be safer to use a laundry chute instead? We explore the perils involved when you carry heavy loads of washing down the stairs at your property and look at ways they might be prevented. Top four dangers involved when collecting washing:
Back injuries Bending and stooping to collect washing from the floor could easily cause a back injury. The back is complex, it's a mixture of muscle, bone and nerve - pain can be caused due to a number of complaints. Bend awkwardly to lift and carry a heavy basket of dirty washing down the stairs and this could easily create problems in the back region. Use a laundry chute and the chances of this happening are minimised. Slips and Trips It's hard to see where you are going when your arms are full of washing. You can easily trip over rugs or slip on fluids spilt onto hardwood flooring and take a nasty tumble. Use a laundry chute instead and you arms are free and your vision is clear as you make your way down the stairs. Negotiating obstacles Something as simple as a child's toy left on a stair could create a danger, especially if you are heading down the stairs with a washing basket that's restricting your view. This is another reason to install a laundry chute. Use this practical feature and you'll have a clear view as you walk down each step and be able to spot dangerous obstacles when they appear. Stray pets Do you have a dog that never leaves your side? That's nice, as long as they stay out of the way on washday. Walk down the stairs carrying a hefty basket filled with washing and you don't want your pet jumping up with excitement or getting under your feet as you negotiate your way down the stairs. Fit a chute, send washing down to your laundry room and you'll spare a little time which could be devoted to your best buddy. Carrying washing up or down staircases can be quite perilous. To avoid this danger, have a laundry chute installed, for more details, don't hesitate to contact us today. [Return] |
