Vileda Cordomatic Retractable Clothes Line, 15 m (2)

Product Information

For households of two people or more, look for approximately 30 m of line. This is sufficient to hold up to three loads of washing and is therefore a good choice for families. A 15 m retractable washing line will generally hold one-to-two loads of washing. The sturdiest lines are made out of steel coated in PVC. This makes them strong and weather-resistant. Typically they last much longer. However, they can also become extremely brittle when exposed to prolonged sunlight. Additionally, if they’re put under excessive loads they tend to stretch and deform to a point where they will not return to their original shape. There are still some fabric/rope/ nylon lines floating about but these do have a shorter lifespan and have proven unpopular over recent years. Fitting a retractable wash line This product is a double retractable washing line. It can be used for either indoor or outdoor use.

Spool retractable washing lines can sag which can make them frustrating to use, especially if clothes start to drag on the floor. Here are a few tactics that you can employ to stop your spool washing line from sagging:

One of the main advantages of a concertina-style dryer is that it can be used at any extension length; it doesn’t need to be fully pulled out if you’re only drying a couple of clothes. Therefore, it only takes up the necessary space required.

When open, these lines can be quite large, often with 100 cm + space on each side. Therefore, they tend to be big enough for hanging larger items like sheets, if folded once. One of the primary benefits of retractable washing lines is that when they store inside a casing, like this DRYZEM Retractable Washing Line, the line itself is kept clean and dry. The Tensor retractable washing line isn’t a budget buy, and costs more than the Vileda, Minky, Toctax, and Beldray models. It isn’t super-expensive, but then again, there isn’t anything that would make me choose this over the Vileda or Minky for garden use. For indoors, however, I would pay the extra for the sleek design.If it’s outright washing line space you’re after, look no further. The Retractable Reel from Minky offers 30m of line with two 15m cables. The cables also come with a weight limit of 25kg, which is more than enough for some serious laundry loads – you’ll probably run out of clothes before you fill it. Retractable washing lines were invented in the 20th century. How does a Retractable Washing Line Work? The fitting instructions are clear and come with a template for positioning the fixings, making it easy to set up. The 5 lines are well spaced so there is plenty of airflow around the clothes for rapid drying. A great value space-saving solution. We’re not so keen on: You can get a lot of drying done with the Tensor, as each line has a maximum extension of 15 metres, giving you 45 metres overall. That’s more than any other product featured in this article. What’s more, it actually does a really good job of staying taut when under heavy loads.
