WASH FEET AREA IN SERVICE YARD?
Requested ID to built a washing feet area in our service yard not only for washing feet but to wash dirty cloth and underwear /socks before throwing into the washing machine at the back.
Current bto layouts require guests to walk halfway through house past the living /dining area to the common toilet to wash feet 🙃 having a washing feet area in the kitchen is closer to the main entrance and kitchen dirty nvm 🤣 Feels more logical to wash leg at kitchen to me 🙃 So far we have been washing our shoes / dirty mops there which is hella convenient!
Bring back old hdb home layouts like my grandma's house.. :(
Incorporating a dedicated sink or washing area in the service yard has truly changed how I manage household cleaning. It’s amazing how a simple addition like a service yard sink for washing feet or rinsing dirty laundry reduces dirt brought into the main living areas. Many modern BTO layouts don’t anticipate this convenience, requiring guests to walk through living spaces just to wash their feet. By having a sink closer to the entrance and kitchen, like in older HDB homes I remember from my grandparents, you save on unnecessary movement and keep messes contained. I’ve also found that washing muddy shoes and dirty cleaning tools at the service yard sink protects my kitchen surfaces and simplifies cleanup. Plus, it feels more hygienic to wash off grime right away instead of bringing it indoors. If you’re planning your home renovation or design, I highly recommend considering a service yard sink or foot washing station. It makes everyday cleaning tasks effortless and keeps your home fresher. Small design changes like this can create big improvements in home functionality and comfort.
It’s a good idea, I have it too! 🤩
