Nobody. It gets a bit of black mould under there so I periodically clean and disinfect it, followed by a couple of fresh coats of paint. (lack of air circulation and a warm damp area).

But,…… if you’re painting under a worktop behind the washing machine, who’s going to see?

Speak for yourself. Up at 5 this morning, painting from 6 to 7 under a kitching worktop. Had to move the washing machine out but couldn't get it out quite far enough for comfort - had to leave it plumbed in because the shut off valve is seized...
