Getting an eco-friendly clothesline is the best way to save money by not relying on energy-hungry clothes dryers, frankly, it is a superior solution to laundry drying needs.

They require very little maintenance (if any) and most clotheslines last a very long time so it is an investment that pays back tenfold.

The firs step you need to take is to determine the capacity of your airer, we normally recommend allocating at least 12-13 metres of drying line space per person in a household, the sweet spot for having a bit of room to grow or for those last-minute emergencies when you have friends and relatives over.

The really good thing about this is it's not really a very tough call, as long as you stick with Australian manufactured and design clotheslines you should be on the safe side since these companies have first-hand experience on the extremely harsh climate in our country.

That's the obvious advantage of local brands compared to international ones because, for example, Chinese manufacturers or brands may design a product that is suitable for their country's climate but the same cannot be said here because they simply have not engineered the airer to last in such an environment.
