Considerations to take into account when choosing a clothesline
Types of clotheslines that exist
Before talking about the specific criteria, it is interesting to know the different types of clotheslines there are:
Indoor clothes airer
It is the most usual option, and the most versatile, since we can choose the place where we are going to hang clothes. For example, if we have a patio, the most common is that we place the indoor clothesline in it ... but when it is cold, it rains, or there is any kind of more delicate atmospheric condition, then we will have the facility to put it inside.
However, one of the disadvantages to consider is that they occupy a considerable space, so if we have one with small dimensions, we may not interest us too much. In this case, we should choose a clothesline that could be folded easily.
Outdoor clothes airer
On the other hand, we have the option of outdoor clotheslines . Its main advantages are that the capacity of clothes that can house is much higher, and that it does not need space inside the house. Being outside can be a problem when it is, since they are fixed clotheslines; that is, unlike the others, we can not take them inside the house.
To solve this, there are certain plastic tarpaulins that can protect clothing with greater or lesser effectiveness.
However, the installation of these clotheslines is very expensive. If we have not opted for quality materials, the structure can be oxidized (and although we have done it, with the passage of time it is possible that it has to be given some other layer of paint).
You also have to consider that choosing an aesthetic clothesline is not a visually very attractive option. There are even some municipalities where it is forbidden to store clothes on those facades that are oriented to a public road.
Taking into account these advantages and disadvantages, we recommend you the portable clotheslines because they are the most versatile.
Where are we going to place it?
One of the basic criteria to take into account when choosing a clothesline is the space where it will be placed; depending on it, we will choose a model that has more or less adjusted dimensions.
Depending on the place of placement , there are features that the shopkeeper will adapt to the environment.
For example, we will not use the same clothesline if we are going to place it in a closed terrace, or an open one (in this last case, there are some special ones that have protectors to avoid that any neighbor can get to gossip our clothes).
If it is going to be placed in a laundry room or a toilet, then we will choose a type of folding clothesline, with tight dimensions.
In the event that we are going to place it in places where there is space, such as in the garage, we can probably choose a model with larger dimensions since the limitations will be minimal.
If your house is small and does not have good ventilation, if you live in a community of neighbors it is likely that you can climb the terrace to tend. In this case, you will have to choose a light clothesline, which is easy to take to the folded roof and then unfold it. This process can be very tedious, so it is worth opting for an ergonomic clothesline model that really fits our pretensions.
Installation of the clothes line
In general, the installation of a drying rack is not something that involves much difficulty (at least not in the indoor laundry). The cheaper models simply come folded, so we'll have to deploy them and they'll be ready to be used.
In those more sophisticated models, possibly have a much more iron structure, so the assembly can be a bit complicated.
What we have to do is follow the instructions manual to the letter and you will see how you do not have any kind of problem.
Type of folding
Ok, it is true that the vast majority of clotheslines are folded ( Who would want an indoor clothesline that was fixed? ), But this does not mean there are different types of folding.
Some are simple , being able to do it in just a few seconds ... while others have a system that they sell as more sophisticated , but at the moment of truth it will complicate our lives.
The idea is to choose a type of folding that is comfortable for us, and that really helps to reduce the dimensions of the clothesline in a sensible way (for example, if we have to take it outside the house for some reason, in order to take it to the roof as we said before, to keep it in a closet until we use it again).
Drying
We can come to think that drying does not have much to do with the structure of the clothesline itself. It is true that it depends on many factors such as the weather, the humidity of the place where it has been placed, how close it is to other appliances such as heaters ... but it is also true that the clothes line material has a lot to say.
The first thing we have to consider is the space that remains between the garment and the garment on the clothesline: if we have chosen a very tight model, leaving the clothes stacked, these will cost more to dry. That is why, it is always convenient to choose a model that fits the volume of washing we have on a daily basis.
On the other hand, there are some materials that perspire more than another, causing them to dry before.
Remember: The more separation between lines of the clothesline, and the longer it is, the faster the laundry will dry.
