Magical Mystery Behind The History Of Laundry Chutes!Are you looking for a laundry chute but want to know a little bit about the making of it first? Well look no further, we “The Laundry Chute Experts” are about to unravel a very complex, covered-up mysterious theory behind the laundry chute's existence! Laundry Chutes have been used in homes since the 1800s, but if you try searching the history of Laundry Chutes today, it will undoubtably leave you guessing, this mysterious contraption has left no trace... maybe the rich and famous wanted to keep this marvellous idea to themselves. But why? Our researchers have spent decades trying to trace the inventor of laundry chutes down, but we have yet to find our answer, however, what we do know is the first real trace of someone using this portal as a laundry chute was back in 1940. Laundry Chutes have been used in large stately homes since the 19th century where it was said to showcase a statement of wealth and good health, they were used to separate infected clothing from the healthy household and to reduce the risk of disease and the spread of infection. But that is not all they were used for... during war-like periods, laundry chutes were used by spies to listen into secrete conversations held in the basements and also to pass messages from one floor to the next. Laundry chutes have also been used over the years to transport rubbish, coal and sometimes even people! Here at Laundry Chutes HQ, we don’t quite believe that last one to be true, however, it was found in the research, so we thought it would only be good practice to include all of our findings. Now back to reality, whatever you believe about the mystery’s/magical laundry chute, we wanted to let you into some secrets of which we know to be true! We never did find out who created the Laundry Chute; however, we do know that they are used within homes across the globe today. Not to showcase a statement of wealth or to reduce the risk of a pandemic spreading, but what they are used for is efficiency to the largest degree! Laundry Chutes LTD have been installing laundry chutes across the UK and shipping across the globe for decades, helping homes become more efficient. Saving families time and reducing the chore of doing laundry, which inevitably makes people smile including the younger children that still believe that the chute door is a magic portal. We decided to state “younger children” because some household member that may be of a certain age, still may think it is a magic portal, you pop your dirty washing in, and then if like magic, the clean clothing appears folded back in your wardrobe several hours/days later depending on just how magic the portal is! Now that we are this far into the research phase, you now understand why we are still so confused about why it is not a compulsory feature in all new homes built today. We can only imagine that it is because of the following questions that may have been left unanswered:
