How to Care for Your Peggs Handy Line®: A Simple Guide

Whether you’ve had your Handy Line® for years or you’re a new owner, these simple tips will help you maintain it for many washes to come.

A clean clothesline not only looks great but also ensures your laundry stays fresh. Dust and dirt can build up over time, especially if your Handy Line® is placed in a busy area like the patio or near the garden. Regularly wipe down your Handy Line® with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grime. Pay special attention to the main beam, where dust can accumulate. It’s a quick task that makes a big difference.

Why It Matters:

Keeping your Handy Line® clean isn’t just about appearance—it’s about hygiene too. A clean surface prevents dirt from transferring to your freshly washed clothes.

Spiders and other critters love to make homes in dark, undisturbed places. To keep your Handy Line® free from these unwanted guests, give it a quick spray under the main beam with surface spray. This deters spiders and other insects, so your clothesline stays safe and clean.

Quick Tip:

Choose a surface spray that’s safe for outdoor use, and always follow the instructions to ensure it’s effective without causing any damage to your Handy Line®.

The beauty of the Handy Line® is in its easy-to-use design, but to keep it operating smoothly, it’s important to maintain the moving parts. A food-grade lubricant like Lanolin works wonders on the joints and hinges. If you prefer, Vaseline is a great alternative. Simply apply a small amount to the moving parts under the main beam. This ensures everything continues to move freely, without any squeaks or resistance.

How Often?

Lubricate your Handy Line® every 12-months, or whenever you notice it’s not moving as smoothly as it should. It’s a small task that keeps your clothesline in perfect working order.

Most issues can be easily fixed, and catching them early will prevent more significant problems down the track.

By keeping it clean, protecting it from pests, lubricating the moving parts, storing it properly, and checking for wear and tear, you’ll ensure that your clothesline remains a trusty helper for years to come. Whether you’re drying clothes under the Aussie sun or indoors during the rainy season, these simple tips will help you make the most of your Handy Line®. Happy drying!
