Product Information
Full details
The Vileda Cordomatic Retractable Clothes Line is an ideal solution for homeowners and apartment dwellers looking to maximize drying space in compact areas like balconies, laundry rooms, or small gardens. Its primary benefit is the versatile 15-metre retractable cord that remains protected within a casing when not in use, keeping your outdoor area clean and clutter-free; however, users should note that the line requires a solid wall surface for secure mounting and may sag if overloaded with heavy, wet bedding.

FAQs
Can this be installed indoors?
Yes, the Vileda Cordomatic is suitable for indoor laundry rooms, garages, or utility areas.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
While there is no specific weight limit provided, it is intended for standard daily laundry; avoid using it for heavy wet blankets.
Does it include the fixings for installation?
Yes, the unit comes with the necessary fittings to mount it to a wall.
Can I lock the line at any length?
Yes, the tension mechanism allows you to pull the line to the exact length you need and lock it in place.
Will the line rust if left outside?
The casing is designed to protect the cord when retracted, which helps minimize exposure to the elements.
Is the cord replaceable?
The cord is designed as an integrated part of the unit; if the cord wears out, the entire unit typically needs to be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Line does not retract fully
Ensure the line is pulled out straight and free of tangles, then guide it back into the housing slowly.
Line sags under weight
Reduce the total length of the extended line or ensure the locking mechanism is firmly engaged.
Mounting bracket feels loose
Check that the wall plugs are compatible with your wall type and tighten the screws firmly into the wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Vileda Cordomatic, ensure you have a sturdy wall or vertical post. Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the screws. A drill and appropriate masonry or wall plugs are required for a secure fit. Once the bracket is fixed, slide the unit into place.
To maintain the product, occasionally wipe the plastic casing with a damp cloth to prevent dust buildup. While the cord is designed for outdoor use, you can extend the lifespan of the spring mechanism by ensuring the line is retracted slowly rather than letting it snap back into the casing. Check the mounting screws annually to ensure they remain tight and secure against the wall surface.
