Here’s a little washing hanging tip for you.

To avoid peg marks and impressions try to hang your washing at the seams. The material is thicker at the seams for starters and as seams are at the sides any peg marks will be less noticeable anyway.

Hanging washing at the seams will also help to keep your clothes shape in the long run as it’ll be hanging in the shape it was made and designed.

As always, feel free to comment and to offer your own washing line tips.

Hooray! For the first time this year I’ve got a whites wash hanging out to dry on the washing line.

It’s a bright, sunny day though it is cool. Still, with the sunshine and a bit of a breeze it’ll take some of the wet off the clothes.

As you can see I’ve got school polo shirts hanging. Here’s a tip for you… unfold the collars so that they’ll dry quicker. Avoid too much of an overlap where you hang them too for the same reason.

As we’re finally edging towards spring and warmer weather we’ll soon have our washing out on the line.

If you’ve left your washing line out all winter then you might want to give it a clean to remove any dirt that’s stuck to the line over the winter. Better to clean your line rather than get dirt on your clean clothes.

The same applies with your pegs. If they need a clean simply plonk them in a bowl of warm water with some cleaning fluid and give them a soak. Then dry them off in a tea towel and they’ll be ready for action.

If you use an extendable line pole you might find its got rain water inbetween the poles. Make sure you drain this water out as it can squirt out on to your washing when you adjust if for height after not using it for a while.
