Not only are pulley laundry lines good for your clothes, they are the most attractive laundry dryer available.
The best ones still retain their Victorian look for a traditional feel.
The bars are made from wood and the metal is cast iron.
The cast iron is best in black for a time-honoured look, but there are a few other shades which may tone in better with your décor.
As well as looking great, pulley airers are hard wearing, good quality products that will last a long time.
After all, a laundry is supposed to be an investment.
Pulley laundry lines were traditionally placed in the kitchen as this used to be the warmest room in the house.
Although this was useful in the past, you may prefer to site yours in the bathroom or laundry room.
A pulley style laundry dryer works on a hoist system.
A rope is intertwined around a cast iron lever which you use to hoist the line down to put the washing on and then up high towards the ceiling to allow clothes to dry in the heat of the house.
Clothes dry fairly quickly up there! There are different sizes available so be sure to select a good size for your families needs.
You can also find butcher hooks to add on to the laundry line to dry even more clothes when extra space is needed.
It is so easy to buy laundry lines online nowadays.
There are a few good companies offering pulley styled laundry lines in the traditional style.
They are easy to install and look fantastic in the home.
You'll also be amazed at how many creases fall out of your clothes when you hang them up high to dry.
Especially as pulley airers and lines have bars spaced far apart so clothing is not crushed together.
You may find you won't need to iron as much! I hope you enjoy using your pulley laundry line and impress visitors with this new, beautiful feature in your home.
