If you don\u2019t have a perfectly sized spare closet (who does, really), and your clothes still need a home, the kitchen can be a good place to house these monstrous machines. If this is where you want it, we recommend getting a washer \/ dryer combo unit. The dryer will be slower, but it\u2019ll still be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Many people opt to turn their second bathroom into a laundry room, either by removing the tub or installing it into the shower stall.<\/p>\n<p>If you do have an extra closet that\u2019s big enough to accommodate these units, you still may not be able to install them there. Due to the \u201cwet\u201d space rules, bedroom or living room closets usually won\u2019t fly because they are dry and usually the space below them (your downstairs neighbors) is dry as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn which areas of your apartment are considered okay for installing a washer and dryer and why. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-656","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-faq"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.4 (Yoast SEO v23.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Where should I install my washer and dryer in my apartment?
