Safety and Style Can Go Hand in Hand

Laundry detergents, stain removers, and cleaning products often come in bright, appealing packaging. For children, these can look just like food or toys — which makes secure storage essential. (For a deeper dive into this, see our guide on where you should store cleaning products).

The risk: Accidental ingestion or skin contact can cause serious harm.

The solution:  Invest in storage cabinets or utility room cupboards that keep hazardous products out of reach. Washtower's tall storage cabinets place detergents at a safe height beyond children's reach. For added security, you can easily add child locks to the door handles for extra peace of mind.

Style tip: You don’t have to settle for plain, clinical storage. Choose from a variety of finishes — from classic white to natural wood tones — to complement your home’s aesthetic.

Washtower advantage: Our cabinets raise storage to a safe height, keeping detergents and cleaning products out of children's reach. The cabinet doors provide an additional layer of protection, securing hazardous items while maintaining a clean, streamlined look in your laundry room.

Front-loading machines are great for efficiency and accessibility — for adults. For children, however, they can be an open invitation. (We’ve already explored this in detail in our article on whether you should raise your washing machine).

The risk: Doors at ground level are easy to open, exposing sharp edges, moving parts, or even standing water inside.

The solution: Position your machines on a washing machine stand or within a raised washer-dryer cabinet. This elevates the doors, keeping them out of reach of curious hands while also improving ergonomics for you.

Style tip: Opt for a raised cabinet that matches the rest of your complete cabinet wall, creating a cohesive, streamlined appearance.

Washtower advantage: Our raised solutions don’t just enhance laundry cabinet safety — they also reduce strain on your back and knees, making laundry day far more comfortable.

Kids can be messy — and your laundry room often bears the brunt of it.

The risk: Scratches, dents, and stains on cabinet doors and work surfaces.

The solution: The solution: Choose cabinets with water-resistant coatings and durable surfaces. Washtower's cabinets feature a protective finish that's easy to wipe clean, making it simple to maintain both hygiene and style.

Childproofing is important when children are small, but your laundry room should be designed to serve your family for years to come.

Invest in versatile pieces like our tall storage cabinets, which offer different interior configurations including adjustable shelving, hanging rails, and dedicated compartments. These modular storage units can be customised to suit your changing needs.
