Re: Laundry sink in the kitchen - In Victoria 10Jun 16, 2017 9:15 pm This is common in England, very rare in Australia, we're just not use to it, might work OK with a single or a couple, but would imagine it getting very difficult with bigger families. Re: Laundry sink in the kitchen - In Victoria 14May 20, 2024 1:33 am Nah, you don't necessarily need a laundry sink if your washing machine is in the kitchen.
