When the kids were at home, I used the laundry tub many times. I washed off boots, kids toys etc... Also cleaned paint brushes and a few other things.

We have been in our latest home for 7 years and have used the laundry tub 5 or 6 times.

Thinking about not putting a laundry tub in our Iris, but using the space for a small refrigator.

Any ideas or thoughts?

takes up space that i would use for something else

We are getting a quote this week to have ours moved to the garage.....Not sure how to use the space once sink is relocated. Maybe a drop down Ironing Board?? Laundry Hamper?? Looking forward to my new laundry room!

I use my laundry tub after gardening. I find that if repot a plant or even just do the weeding, I end up with soil, leaves or twigs on my arms and legs. I leave soap and paper towels at the sink in the garage and clean up the gardening tools and myself before I go in the house. Beats tracking the dirt thru. But, if you have only used it a few times in 7 years, you probably can skip it.

I wonder if it serves its use better located in the garage ?

Well that is the option that we are thinking of. On the other hand, can the outdoor hose work as well?

Thanks for your comments.

I think in the garage would be great if they will accommodate that change. The cleaning up from gardening and golf sounds good. Although I have one in my garage now and after five years in this house I have never used it! I'm just a TV wannabe, but I am already looking at not having the laundry sink because my husband has to have an ice machine - he doesn't like the ice refrigerators make - and that is the only place I think it will fit! So...to the laundry room for ice I say!

Since I thought I would rarely use the laundry sink, I asked Melissa at my Design Team meeting earlier this year if I could remove it and put a cabinet there instead. She said I could put a cabinet there (like the kitchen cabinets) but I could not close it off and have a door put on it!!

The area turned out great and there is a lot of space in that cabinet. Great for extra storage. I might even take out a couple of the shelves as it would be a great place to put the vacuum cleaner. I will see if I can figure out how to post a picture!! Never done that before.

I got the pedestal washer and dryer with the storage bins underneath for my Mom. She is 88 and it is much easier for her if she wants to throw in a load.

I'm I missing something what does the outside hose have to do with it?

Just thinking that the outdoor hose could do the minimal cleaning that we need. Thanks for asking.

Thanks for the offer Jim. I figured out how to attach the post. I didn't see the upload button until I maximized the screen!

I love my laundry tub. I had it installed next to the laundry room door just inside the garage. Plans called for it to be over next to the water heater, which seemed totally useless to me. Why drip water all the way across the garage. I use it instead of a mop bucket for mopping the floors of if something is heavily soiled, I can rinse it out there and then put it inside straight into the washer. I keep pump hand soap on the back of the sink and we wash our hands there after cleaning the litter box and used to do the same after doggie poo cleanup when we had our dogs. I put one of the sticky hooks on the side of it to hang the litter scoop. We do the golf clubs there, wash out pet dishes....all kinds of things. I would not take for it. I'd give up something else first.
