What is the danger of the washing machine and tumble dryer? Do you keep the doors open or closed.

My brain seems to have given up at the moment, so any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks,
Linda.

Children climbing in...

Children pulling machines over...

Children turning machines on while a child is inside...

Hot water / air burning children...

Fluff from filter causing allergy...

Opening filter on washing machine and flooding room...

Using open doors as steps to climb up and reach other things...

If one is stacked on the other, risk of it falling on a child when spinning...

Brain dead now :D

Thanks Sarah, I never would have thought of all those things. I think by keeping the doors closed and the machines powered off, most risks can be avoided, either that or keeping children out of the utility room.
