I was sick of carrying my kids laundry downstairs so I DIY-ed my own laundry chute – everyone says it’s a genius idea
Watch the video to see how Lyndsey's DIY laundry shoot works
A MUM has shared the clever addition she added to her home to make laundry easier.
Lyndsey Gynana from the UK took to social media to show the new addition to her home which was under construction.
The online business coach said: “Here’s a little insight into how the laundry chute works.
“It’s not finished, doesn’t look the best, but it works, and that’s all that matters for now.”
The mum was sick of taking laundry down and up the stairs for her family – so decided to add the special addition to make her life easier.
In the clip the black tube could be seen hanging out of the wall upstairs and she demonstrated how it worked by putting some laundry in which instantly slid down.
She then showed what the chute looked like from the back which was a thick tube hanging out the wall but she revealed it would soon be covered up.
She then made her way down stairs to show viewers where the laundry ended up.
Lyndsey added: “Let me show you where we go and do the laundry.
“So, straight into the utility room.
“You can see the laundry chute in that box in front of you.
“Open the cupboard.
“Voila. There we go. There’s my laundry.”
At the bottom of the chute was her laundry that had landed in the basket and she took it over to the washing machine showing just how much easier the task was now.
The clip has gone viral over on her TikTok account @with over 2.3 million views and 127k likes.
People were quick to take to the comments in awe of her home addition.
