Clothes pegs

Laundry hung on a washing line or drying rack needs a secure grip so that the wind does not carry it off and it does not slip down. Clothes pegs include plastic, wooden and stainless steel models, larger pegs for towels and blankets, and pegs with a soft pad that leave no marks on delicate fabrics.

Clothes pegs

When drying laundry outdoors or indoors, the clothes peg is one of the simplest aids, yet an indispensable one. Clothes pegs hold T-shirts, shirts, bed linen and also small items such as socks on the line or drying rack.

Plastic pegs withstand moisture and are easy to clean, while wooden pegs look natural but can absorb water if left outdoors for long periods. Stainless steel pegs do not rust and are also suitable for long-term use on an outdoor washing line.

For delicate fabrics such as silk or knitwear, pegs with a soft rubber pad work well, holding the fabric gently. Larger pegs with a strong spring keep bulky towels, blankets or sheets in place even in windy weather.

When choosing, it is worth considering where and how often the laundry will be dried. For an outdoor line, materials resistant to sun and rain pay off, while ordinary plastic pegs are sufficient indoors. A peg bag or small basket that keeps the pegs together is also practical.
