Troubleshooting
Peg not gripping clothes firmly
Ensure the anti-slip pads are clean and free from debris. Check that the spring mechanism is not obstructed or damaged. For very heavy items, consider using multiple pegs or a different type of peg.
Peg leaves marks on delicate clothing
Ensure the TPR anti-slip pads are clean and flat against the fabric. Avoid over-tightening the peg. If marks persist, consider using a protective cloth between the peg and the garment.
Plastic appears faded or brittle
This can occur with prolonged exposure to UV rays. Store the pegs indoors when not in use to prolong their life and maintain flexibility.
