I would much rather have a nap than a clean kitchen. Ideally, I’ll put the 1YO down for a nap, then lay in bed with the 4YO. (He naps in our room when the 1 YO is already asleep on their room). Then I’ll sleep for 20 minutes and sneak out of bed to go clean the kitchen. This has worked according to plan exactly once, and I’ve been chasing a repeat ever since.
On my dryer, mirrored from the holes for the hinge, latch, and contact switch, there are another set of holes that have been punched out and covered with plastic caps.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think you could take off all that hardware, move the caps, and flip the door to the other side if that would work better for your setup.
