FAQs
What material is the Minky Rotary Cover made from?
The cover is made from PVC coated fabric, which is water and weather resistant.
How do I put the cover on my rotary washing line?
Simply collapse your rotary washing line, drape the cover over the top, and pull it down until the elasticated surround fits snugly around the base. Then, zip it up.
Is this cover suitable for all rotary washing lines?
It is designed as a one-size cover for most standard rotary washing lines. However, for the best fit, it's advisable to check the dimensions of your washing line.
Can I wash the cover in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the cover. It should be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
What does 'Contrast Border' mean?
The 'Contrast Border' refers to a visible trim or edge around the cover that is a different color from the main body of the cover, adding a subtle design element.
How does the zip detail help?
The zip detail allows for easy and quick access to the washing line when you need to use it, without having to remove the entire cover.
Will this protect my washing line from frost?
Yes, the weather-resistant material provides protection against frost, helping to prevent potential damage during cold weather.
Troubleshooting
Cover does not fit snugly
Ensure the rotary washing line is fully collapsed. Adjust the position of the cover and check that the elasticated edge is seated correctly around the base. If the fit is still too loose, it may not be compatible with your specific washing line model.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it feels stuck on fabric, carefully try to free it. You can apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth to improve its movement.
Water seeping through the cover
Check for any holes or tears in the PVC coating. Ensure the cover is fully secured and that the elasticated surround is creating a tight seal. Persistent leaks may indicate damage to the material.
