Product Information
Full details
The Orwell Daisy Twist Resist Soft Grip Pegs are designed for households seeking a reliable, eco-friendly solution for drying laundry outdoors. These pegs offer a superior grip that prevents garments from slipping during windy conditions while remaining gentle enough to avoid leaving fabric indentations. While they provide excellent utility for everyday drying, users should note that the plastic construction, despite being recycled, requires protection from prolonged direct UV exposure to maintain maximum longevity.

FAQs
Are these pegs safe for delicate fabrics?

Can I leave these on the clothesline permanently?

Are these suitable for heavy items like quilts?
Yes, they provide a strong grip capable of holding heavier linens, provided they are clipped securely to the line.
Is the plastic BPA free?
The Orwell Daisy pegs are made from 100% recycled plastic, focusing on material reuse and sustainability.
How many pegs come in a single pack?
Each pack includes 48 individual pegs.
Can I use these in a tumble dryer?

Troubleshooting
Peg loses tension
Check if the spring has become misaligned; carefully nudge it back into the center groove.
Peg gets stuck to another peg
The twist-resist design is intended to prevent this; if it does occur, simply twist the peg slightly rather than pulling directly to release it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Orwell Daisy Twist Resist pegs; they are ready for use immediately upon opening the package. They are compatible with all standard clotheslines, including wire, plastic-coated, and retractable rope systems.
To ensure the longevity of your pegs:
- Storage: Store the pegs in a cool, dry place inside a laundry bag or basket when not in use. Constant exposure to UV light can cause plastic to become brittle over long periods.
- Cleaning: If the pegs accumulate dirt or dust, wipe them down with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might degrade the recycled plastic.
- Maintenance: Check the tension springs occasionally to ensure they haven't been forced open beyond their capacity.
