Clothes/Washing Lines

Frequently asked questions about clothes lines and washing line rope

What’s the best washing line rope to use?

If you want a durable, long-lasting and easy-to-maintain clothes line, you should choose a synthetic material like PVC. PVC washing lines are easy to put up and wipe clean, and they’re able to hold heavy loads of laundry. However, if you prefer the rustic look and feel of natural washing line rope, the best materials include cotton and jute.

How do I put up a washing line rope?

Wondering how to put up a washing line rope? It’s actually very simple. All you have to do is tie your washing line rope between two sturdy anchor points, such as two poles stuck in the ground. You could also use a wall or a fence. Make sure the line isn’t too tight as it needs to have a little bit of stretch to it, but also don’t make it too loose as it could sag under the weight of wet clothes and dangle them on the ground.
