Any Ideas Next Time

[jennyjoan]

My problem is having to bend too low to get washing into washing machine - anybody think of a higher up idea.

I know the new dishwashers - the bottom automatically comes up for you to load your dishes. Not that I'm looking for new dishwasher.

this probably sounds like a stupid q but it's not under a worktop is it?

[jennyjoan]

it is bed

[jennyjoan]

my tumbledryer (not used that often) but it is in my bedroom/cum utility room and it is great as I can sit and haul washing in and out.

[bednobs]

if you want it to be in the same place, you will be unable to raise it.
train maxie to unload it :)

Get a small stool for the kitchen, that may help.

[jennyjoan]

I do have a little stool Mamy - but if I ever need a new washing machine - I will have to have it higher as my back and general all over pain is getting worse but am sure plumber nephew will think of something.

Or long wooden tongs?

[Redhelen72]

Have you bothered to look at my link?

[jennyjoan]

I did bother to read your link Redhelen - but the machine is quite tight under my worktop.

[Mamyalynne]

If you have somewhere you can place a washer that's higher then Redhelen's idea is a good one.

[Redhelen72]

Could you cut your worktop or is it granite?

[jennyjoan]

The drum is really too large and gness it wouldn't be worth it to buy long wooden tongs to pull out 15 pairs of knickers LOL

[jennyjoan]

it is granite and cost me a fortune - so I'll stick with the back pain

[DTCwordfan]

learn to hand-walk perhaps? Yes, a facetious answer but think of those on the Space Station!!!

[jack daniels]

A claw grabber any help? I know the machine stays lower rather then higher

[DTCwordfan]

Or have the machines fixed to the ceiling so they work upside down....at eye level.

Home help maybe

[jennyjoan]

home help last time I had an accident 2017 - I asked her to clean windows as she had half hour to spare, she washed them with a floor cloth. These were only windows that divide my living and dining room. There is no cleaner like myself

Would you consider a top loading washing machine? Obviously it wouldn't go under the counter.
