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

Owning a Peggs Handy Line® is all about making your laundry experience easier. To keep it 
working its best, a little bit of care goes a long way. 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.

1. Keep It Clean and Sparkling
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.

2. Protect Against Unwanted Guests
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®.

3. Keep the Moving Parts Lubricated
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.

4. Check for Wear and Tear
Regularly inspect your Handy Line® for any signs of wear and tear. Look at the joints, the 
lines, and the frame. If you spot anything that looks worn or damaged, it’s best to address 
it right away. 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
