Product Information

This rotary airer offers 40 m of drying space and, PVC-coated lines stretch over time, there is a mechanism to increase tension so that they remain taut for clothes hanging. Smaller rotary washing lines with 30 m of line will be suitable for two-person households. To fit two loads of washing, a larger line with approximately 45 – 60 m of space will be required. For this reason, high-quality three-arm lines can be more expensive than four-arm models because of the materials used. Aluminium rotary washing lines are lightweight and rust resistant. These are their main benefits. They can be quite easy to carry in and out of storage, and don’t require as much strength to put up. Plus, aluminium is not prone to rust – although it can still corrode over time.

You’ll naturally need to base the size of your line on the space you have available. However, these are some useful facts to know: to hang up double bed sheets, the outer line needs to be around 140 cm long . For king-size sheets, it will need to be around 150 cm. Upon closer inspection, you should also locate 5 washing symbols (also known as care symbols, laundry symbols or occasionally wash code symbols) aligned horizontally in a row. What are washing symbols? Allow the item of clothing to float in the wash tub, then use delicate rubbing and gentle aggitation to remove soiling and stains. What is the wash 40 symbol?The two lines below the 40 degree wash symbol indicate that “mild” or “delicate” washing techniques should be used. This typically means: using less detergent, a slower spin cycle and filling the washing machine drum with a reduced load. Bleaching Symbols Symbol: Only oxygen bleach permitted (no chlorine bleach) symbol The line comes bundled in with a weatherproof cover, ground spike and pegs, meaning that it’s ready to go straight out of the box with no additional equipment needed. The natural drying washing symbol indicates that tumble dryers, or other mechanical or thermal drying machines, should not be used. Instead, the garment should be allowed to dry in natural conditions (without additional air, heat or movement). Be aware that despite offering more drying area, this rotary washing line isn’t particularly tall – so longer items need to be draped across several lines to stop them dragging on the ground. Ironing can be performed up to 110°C. The use of a steam iron is not permitted and extra care should be taken when ironing delicate textiles. Symbol: Moderate Temperature Ironing symbol

Old or damaged garments, as well as delicate items like lace, wool, cashmere and lingerie are best suited to hand washing.
