But this kitchen door has never been opened!
When I visited my friend's fresh and beautiful kitchen, I tried to reach out and open it, but I was stopped on the spot:
"It's wet and smelly, what's there to see!" (The friend grabs the cupboard door awkwardly. Oh, my God, look here ...)
1. Tide
emit a stench
3. The shape is wonderful and difficult to preserve.
That is to say, this 0.3m2 under the sink! The hardest place in the kitchen is him.
Just a sink cabinet, if you can't get it, you can't see it if you close the door! But on second thought, my god, this storage space with a height of about 90cmX and a width of about 75cm is wasted like this. I can't stand it ~
Although I was curious, at every request, my friend finally (embarrassedly) opened the door:
There are cleaning sponges in the hanging baskets on both sides of the cupboard door, cleaning agents are hung on the telescopic brackets, and cleaning utensils and pots and pans are stacked together ... I have done a lot of homework, but it still looks messy!
The overflow pipeline and power cord, plus the extra anti-blocking and deodorizing design, plus the "seemingly beautiful" storage design above, can only be surpassed in the end! Heap! Yue! Chaos!
Tell the truth, your house enters the sink, and the fault lies in the planning of the water pipe, which is difficult to use! (But 90% people ignore it, thinking that it will be profitable to read it. )
1. The sink pipeline should be designed in advance!
The seemingly large space under the sink is forcibly divided into irregular "chicken ribs" because of the chaotic pipeline layout, which has become a place where plastic bags are piled up.
@anly: There is a spider web under my sink, so I dare not touch it!
@ Digger: My memory under the sink is: Isn't that where sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams and garbage bags are put?
When people buy a sink, they always look at the material and capacity of the sink, but the opening of the sink pipeline and the drain reserved by the developer are basically ignored.
Don't believe it, opening the cupboard door of your sink is likely to hide such a "snake-shaped" shape with strange painting style, which will eat up half of the storage space.
In contrast, this well-designed sink storage is crowded with water purifiers, warm water treasures, garbage disposal ... the new favorite of the kitchen, and it will not crowd out your cleaning supplies such as paper towels and detergents.
So, it's not true, but the details of the sewer pipe. If you pay attention, there is really nothing impossible to accommodate.
However, how to plan the pipeline under this sink?
Look at the operation of a kitchen model room. When visiting other people's kitchens, be sure to open the door under the sink and stare at the pipes. Probably only obsessive-compulsive disorder. )
For example, in this single tank, after the water is discharged from the tank, it is discharged to the back along the pipeline instead of directly extending downward to seize the central space, and the U-shaped pipeline to prevent odor is also quietly leaning against the wall.
The biggest feature: leaning back and sticking to the wall.
Compared with the conventional central and offset drainage layout, it wastes more space than a storage box, and it hurts like money flowing with the pipeline. (Yellow area in the figure)
@sunlau-cn
Let's take a look at the double-slot design that has been spit out. Yes! My friend's life and death didn't allow me to open the sink.
The intertwined pipes take root and grow under the sink, which makes you panic at first sight. How to store it can only be filled in.
Is it really hopeless?
Well, this is the dual-channel pipeline solution: two independent offset drains, and finally * * * back to the main drain.
Real leaves storage space directly below the sink for installing storage boxes, trash cans and storage baskets, which has excellent storage capacity.
This kind of offset wall row launch design is actually very common abroad. A treasure can also find an offset launcher, but there are not many manufacturers.
It seems that the biggest routine of pipeline design under the sink is to change it into an offset sewer!
In addition, there are two suggestions: expansion and storage. Don't miss the fans who plan to install the sink:
1. Wall row is the best.
When planning hydropower in the early stage, it is best to use wall row for pipelines, which not only saves most space at the bottom, but also saves contact with the ground, and there is no sanitary dead angle.
Later, with the simplest plastic box, the extra space was neatly divided, refreshing and tidy.
It is also a wall row. Although it is a double-slot vertical sewer pipe, it is moved to the depths of the cabinet, and the storage space is released instantly.
It is important that the U-shaped pipe that prevents the sewer pipe from smelling back before it merges into the main drain pipe is placed in the small cabinet on the left, so that it can be so simple under the sink.
2. Keep vertical correspondence
But if it is in the form of underground drainage, the lower outlet is below, so it can't be changed.
When installing, it is best to make the water outlet of the sink vertically correspond to the reserved sewer, so as not to block a pipeline at last.
Sometimes it is only a little deviation of the pipeline, and the effect is very different, but it is still very imaginative to adjust the left spare area like this.
Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? The sink at home is all ready. What else can you do?
What should I do if the irregularities under the sink are serious? Look at the design of this sink. Not only hanging rods and drawing curtains for ventilation, but also customizing a push-pull storage system, using drawer combinations with different heights to tidy up all corners in order.
Of course, the most common magic weapon, the U-shaped drawer, perfectly bypasses the water pipe, which will be mentioned later.
It is best to communicate with the designer before the decoration, and the pull-out design can undoubtedly maximize the use of space.
2. Do not solve the "tide" and "stink"
Accommodation is all hooliganism
For the first step, the space is insufficient, and the chicken ribs are embarrassing, but there are still many fans, because they don't like it, it stinks, and they are too lazy to put anything.
@Rainbow-CYH: The bottom of the sink is wet, and the drain pipe smells. Washing products are suitable, and pots and pans are unsanitary.
Hello, Time: I always feel that the bottom of the sink is particularly dirty. Do you feel the same way?
But how can a heart that pursues a delicate and comfortable family be afraid? I probably can't find a way to believe that your sink is clean and tidy.
In fact, the "tide" under the sink is not the water leaked from the water pipe (if it leaks, the kitchen cabinet board will be soaked), but the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the sink and the inside and outside of the pipe leads to the condensation of water in the air, which moistens the humid environment and grows small mushrooms.
When choosing a sink, you can pay attention to the bottom of the sink body, which is coated with an anti-condensation coating to prevent the sink from "sweating" and getting wet in the cabinet, which is very annoying.
The bottom of the washbasin can also be coated with a coating with good hygroscopicity, which can also eliminate the temperature difference.
It is best to stick a waterproof film on the cabinet connected to the sewer and wipe it frequently.
Because I was unwilling, I deliberately put it on all sides, and then put some desiccant in the four corners of the cabinet. The humidity problem under the sink is really not difficult.
The joint between the sink and the countertop is loose, and the accumulated water is submerged on the countertop, resulting in water leakage into the cabinet. This kind of trouble is often nine times out of ten, alas ~ after all, it is to live.
Butyl glue stuck to the sink, and it was soaked quickly, which made it even more ugly. ....
You can use good quality sealant, aim at the edge of the joint, scrape off the excess, and operate in place, and the sealing effect is better than that of adhesive.
And smelly, that's because the pipeline is not well sealed, and it smells like string to the outside.
Here, the collection of girls is simply summarized as a trilogy of deodorization, and it is good to choose improvements as needed.
1. Deodorizing core.
The deodorizing core is connected to the water pipe. When draining water, water will flush the cover plate. After drainage, the cover plate will be automatically closed by the ridge, which will keep the smell and reptiles out of the door, and its function is similar to a floor drain.
With the filter water seal, the big sundries leaked from the sink will also fall into the water seal to prevent accumulation and blockage of the sewer, but it must be cleaned up in time.
2. Odor-proof sealing ring
Many people's sink sewer pipes are almost directly fixed on the water outlet by friction, and the sealing performance is not good. After a long time, it will definitely taste bad.
Deodorization lies in the details. A soft silicone sealing ring can be inserted from the bottom of the water pipe, and the matching sealing washer is firmly embedded in the water pipe, and the end is inserted into the sewer.
3.u-bend water seal
If there is enough space, it can be transformed into a U-shaped bend to form a water seal of the pipeline and form a third deodorization barrier.
According to the space in the cabinet, the angle can also be adjusted to the rear or side.
In addition, for PVC water pipes, pipeline sealant can also be used for maintenance. In addition to waterproof, it can basically eliminate odor.
It's just that there are so many inferior products that many people don't believe it can be tasteless under the sink.
In addition to the barrier of the pipeline, we should also start with the root of the odor-dirt.
It is best to use a dredge rod to collect the sewer from your home for one month.
The length is just stuck in the U-shaped tube. When it is dissolved in water, it will react with the stains on the tube wall, so that the dirt will be dissolved and washed away with the water flow, without damaging the tube, and its function is a bit like Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets.
Ps, and the practical experience of fans:
@ Each one: After cleaning, pour a circle of 84 disinfectant along the water outlet. If you don't rinse your mouth, you will find that there will be no odor and dark circles for a long time.
Always remember the sink filter, and then show your face. When cleaning, just lift it and refuse to throw debris in it.
In fact, the cleanliness of the kitchen is related to living habits, including under the closed sink. I didn't pay attention to these small details. Perhaps it is not the sink that is finally abandoned, but the lazy self.
3. According to personality, subdivide the space
After solving the "one tide and two stinks", we can boldly and confidently consider the "entrance" of goods.
The key to storage and expansion lies in "finely dividing space". For example, under the sink cabinet, the storage of the three-layer sink area can be customized according to the idea of sink-pipeline-pipeline.
According to their own pipeline layout and the characteristics of each floor, with appropriate items and storage methods, this is the real local conditions.
Pipeline plan
It can be seen how important it is to do the first step!
From the outside, such a three-tier drawer is more beautiful and the storage efficiency is improved by three times.
Every time I think of throwing things around and burying them in expired deep cabinets, I don't have to sigh: drawers are better than deep cabinets.
1. Upper floor: cleaning supplies +u-shaped drawers.
There are storage spaces on both sides of the sink, which are convenient for storing sponges, brushes and baking soda cleaning tools.
Or drawer design, short on the top and long on the bottom.
Then use the storage box to further subdivide the types of items.
2. Middle layer: packed sundries, small bowls, pots and pans +u-shaped drawers.
Lightweight containers, such as shallow trays, drain baskets, pots, etc., are placed in the middle, and some temporary sundries can be placed in standby positions in the pots.
Although the most suitable ratio is three layers, the common operation of collecting girls is to combine the upper and middle layers into one.
3. The lowest floor: spacious and diverse.
The telescopic pole is hung with detergent and towels, and the storage box is divided into cleaning props, which is clear at a glance.
The water pipe twists and turns, and there's nothing you can do? The ground floor can also be refined with double shelves to save this once barren land.
Larger ceramic containers, pots and pans can be put on the shelf.
Finally, put detergent, brush, garbage bag, sponge, brush, gloves, etc. around the cabinet board on the upper wall. Place with a hanging rod or a nail-free hook.
It was dirty to hang the pot cover rack on the wall last time. What else can I do?
In this way, it is stored separately in the door cabinet, and the matching pots and pans are piled up in a unified way, which is convenient to use.
From pipeline layout to moisture-proof and odor-proof, to subdivision and storage, the three meals a day in the kitchen seem dull, but behind them are countless details, and they pay silently together!
The secret of a comfortable and exquisite life is hidden here, and each one is worth perfecting.
